From our hearts to yours...
BME PTO is beginning the month of February with full, grateful hearts. We are so thankful for your participation in our 3rd annual end-of-the-year "Operation: Adopt Team Meadow," a coordinated effort to shower our amazing teachers and staff with goodies, gifts, and appreciation. All of our BME heroes felt the love this past December!
Spring -- and warmer weather -- is on our minds as well. Planning for our 2nd annual Boone Meadow Bash (slated for April 28, 2023) is well underway. PTO introduced the BME Bash last year. The event featured inflatables, food, games, and an auction to raise funds for PTO. Over 500 people attended! (Want to help out at this year's Bash? Keep an eye out for a volunteer sign-up on our Facebook page.)
After you finish browsing this newsletter, we hope you'll check out our new website, BMEPTO.com, where you can find information on all things PTO! The site includes updates about events, fundraisers, and other activities. Please spread the word about the site, so that even those without social media can explore opportunities with the PTO!
We look forward to seeing you at our next PTO meeting on Feb. 8!
We wish you a Valentine's Day filled with love (and maybe some chocolate or candy hearts) and lots of smiles from your BME kiddo.
