You Are Invited to Thalia’s Pawsome Family Literacy Night!
When: Monday, March 12; 5:30 – 7:00 (Book Fair will be open from 5:00-7:00)
Families will have fun exploring literacy activities at multiple interactive stations in the cafeteria (free dinner will be provided)! Students who attend will create and receive free literacy items to take home. Check-in at the front door and receive your Paw Print ticket. Students will earn a hole-punch on your Paw Print ticket for each literacy activity completed. Once you have at least 4 punches, submit your Paw Print ticket in the box before leaving in order to be eligible for a raffle prize. Tickets will be drawn from the box during the morning announcements on March 13 and students will select a prize.
Please RSVP by March 7!
A message from our PTA president
The PTA would like to thank everyone who sent in BOX TOPS for our Spring collection campaign! Congratulations to two of our first grade classes -- Mrs. Lickfold and Mrs. Squires -- they tied for collecting the most box tops! Each class will get an ice cream treat from the PTA during their lunch within the next week as a thank you for their hard work and participation! Keep on clipping those Box Tops for the Fall 2018 collection next school year!
Talent Show is fast approaching! We have 30 very talented acts registered to perform in this year's show at Princess Anne High School on Friday April 20th! Mark you calendars to come and see all our amazing Thalia Talent!!! Mrs. Alspaugh and the PTA are excited to also welcome all our students that signed up to participate in an Opening Act for the show! We are still accepting permission slips for interested students through this Monday, March 5th! Those that have already signed up -- stay tuned for additional information to come home regarding practice dates and times!
March 7th from 5pm to 8pm -- Spirit Night at Tijuana Flats!! Consider eating out that night at one of our favorite local restaurants! A flyer will be coming via electronic alert and has been posted to the Thalia Elementary PTA Facebook page. Print the flyer and bring with you to the restaurant and present at time of order! Money raised will help to offset the cost of upcoming field trips for our school! The PTA thank you for your support!
Our school is blessed with many dedicated volunteers! Big congratulations go to our Volunteer of the Month for January, Heaven Santasiere. Thank you for all your hours of volunteerism and for all you do for Thalia Elementary!
The Thalia PTA is excited to announce the individual recognized as the Thalia Elementary 2017-2018 Volunteer of the Year, Melissa Gibney. Ms. Gibney has dedicated countless hours both in our school and at home this year to help with a myriad of projects, including Box Tops collections and campaign. We are most grateful to her for her dedication, volunteerism, and the creative energy she brings to our school!
Lastly, the PTA would like to extend a big thank you to everyone who voted in the Field Makeover Contest sponsored by The Norfolk Tides and Orkin Pest Control. It was a very close race, with Thalia falling just short of the win. However, because both The Norfolk Tides and Orkin saw how passionate both finalists were in the voting process, our field was chosen for a full renovation to be done sometime late summer/early fall 2018! What a great opportunity for our school and our community! Thanks for all your voting support!
