Lost and Found
We encourage families to take a peek at the pictures below and stop by to claim anything during arrival, dismissal, or come in for a special "shopping" trip.
Anything not claimed by the last day of school will be donated!
***Whole-School Fun Run Incentive***
The bounce house will be at Eli Terry on Friday, June 2nd. Each class will have the opportunity to sign-up for a 15-minute block of time to partake in the fun!
The PTO is looking for volunteers to oversee the Obstacle Course Bounce House. It will be delivered and set up and will just need a monitor to sit nearby and oversee. Teachers will be bringing their classes out for 15 minutes time slots from 9:00-3:00. You will not need to be in charge of any students just keeping an eye on the bounce house so it is not left unattended in the field.
If you are interested in volunteering, please sign-up here!
Scholastic BOGO Book Fair
Our favorite Scholastic Book Fair will be visiting Eli Terry May 30th to June 1st - It's BOGO! That's right, for every ITEM purchased, a second item of equal or lesser value is FREE! We will also be hosting FAMILY NIGHT to build those summer reading stacks on Thursday, June 1st.
As always, these events would not be possible without our fantastic volunteers - please visit the following link to sign up! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508094cadaa23a3fc1-bogo2#/
All classes will be visiting just once, so stay tuned for further information from your classroom teacher. In the meantime, visit this link for more info! https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/eliterryelementaryschool
