In the LSE PTO know!
SEPTEMBER 2020
WELCOME TO THE 2020-21 SCHOOL YEAR!!
We hope that you will join us at our first meeting on September 22 via Zoom! Meetings are a fantastic way to learn more about what is going on behind the scenes and to meet other LSE families. While meetings are via Zoom for the remainder of 2020 (every other month), we hope for the ability to return to face to face meetings in 2021, so we can get to know all of you in a more personal setting.
WELCOME to LSE and this brand new school year! We can't wait to make some great memories with all of our LSE families!
2020-21 PTO MEMBERSHIP DRIVE IN ON!
As a thank you for your support, every $25 donated will receive one awesome "Wildcat Strong" stainless steel straw tumbler (perfect for filling at school or at home!)! That means if you donate $50, you will receive 2 tumblers! For every $5+ donation will receive one awesome LSE Pawprint Magnet!
Due to restrictions, we are trying to move to an online-based system, so we encourage you to visit our "store" to donate (click on the button below the prizes)! Please be sure to list your child's name as well as their grade/teacher so we know which classroom to send home items with (this will happen later in September)! If you are unable to join online, you may still send in a check/cash with the Membership Form included in the Welcome Packet that you received at Orientation (it's also uploaded in the "files" section of our Facebook page), please follow the instructions for checks on that form and return it to school with your student. The classroom with the highest participation (# of students that participate) will get to NAME THE MAIN HALLWAY of LSE for the year! While membership may be submitted at any time, only donations received before October 9th will be counted towards the class total (donations submitted after that date may not receive prizes if there are none remaining).
We THANK YOU so much for your generosity & support and we look forward to an amazing year for ALL of our LSE students! 🐾💙🐾
JOIN US FOR MOE'S TACO POP-UP CURBSIDE @ LSE ON SEPTEMBER 11th!
Attention friends, neighbors, local Queso-lovers, and LSE family!!
We are hosting a Moe’s Southwest Grill Popup on Friday September 11th! We know that the first week of school can be exhausting so here's a fun way to end the week and an easy & delicious dinner! This means you can take a night off from cooking while supporting our school PTO at the same time! For every kit sold, $5 will be donated to the LSE PTO which will be used to help purchase spirit shirts, library books, student supplies, yearbooks and much more!
Moe's is offering a Family Taco Kit with your choice of chicken, ground beef, ½ chicken & ½ ground beef or vegetarian, along with all of the "extras" (see flyer for all included ingredients). Cost for your entire meal is $34.99+tax.
This is a fun, convenient way to have dinner ready to pick up right in the neighborhood and see (from a safe distance) some friends and family you maybe haven’t seen for a while, even if it’s just for a minute. Take a much-deserved night off from cooking and order a family night of tacos! Show your school spirit!
How to Order:
1. Place your order by 10:00am on Friday September 11th. Fill out this form to submit your order. https://form.jotform.com/201245544417147
*Be sure to choose “LSE PTO 9/11” when choosing the neighborhood you are picking up from
2. Pick up will be along the front entrance to LSE (169 North Main Street) between 5:30 and 6pm on Friday, September 11th. When picking up your order, just stay in your vehicle, give us your name, we will bring your order right to your vehicle and you are on your way.
Thank you for your support and we hope to see lots of familiar faces on Friday, September 11th!!
LSE & DALLASTOWN MASKS STILL AVAILABLE!
We have opened our mask store up again! We do also have a few mask lanyards that you can purchase directly from us (please send us an email if you are interested in these - ptoatlse@gmail.com).
The store will close on 9/20! These masks have adjustable ear loops and have a sewn-in nose clip so they fit both adults and kids well!!
YOU put the "P" in PTO!
Getting involved in your child's education is an experience to remember! Whether it's volunteering at an event, helping at school during the day, or helping with things from home, your time and assistance are what puts the "P" in PTO! Our mission is to support and enrich the experience of our staff & students, but we operate solely on volunteers. Many hands make light work, and we happen to also have a lot of fun doing it! In this day and age of a multitude of commitments, we value any time you can offer in any way that you are able. Your kids will think it's pretty cool too! We hope that you will consider lending a hand to make the 2020-2021 school year amazing!
GIVE BACK TO LSE WITH STORE REWARDS PROGRAMS!
Box Tops!
During this challenging time, our teachers and students need more help than ever. No matter what school looks like, Box Tops for Education is a fast and easy way for you to help out from home. In 2019, the program evolved to become digital so that you can earn for your school with just the touch of a button.
Simply download the app and select Loganville-Springfield Elementary as your school. Collection dates are as follows: October 23rd, March 19th & May 14th. After each collection has ended, we will update on how close we are to our goal of over $1,000!
Amazon Smile!
The AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price from your eligible AmazonSmile purchase back to LSE PTO! Head to smile.Amazon.com. Select Loganville-Springfield PTO to receive donations from eligible purchases before you begin shopping. Amazon will remember your selection, and every eligible purchase you make at smile.amazon.com will result in a donation. Win-win!
Now available using the Amazon app too!
Coke Give!
Give more happiness with your purchases from The Coca-Cola Company! Just head to Coke.com/give to get started with Coca-Cola Give. You’ll donate by signing in and choosing Loganville-Springfield Elementary as your local school to give to. Note, schools and causes are not authorized to have individual accounts so all donations must originate from individual Coke.com accounts.
Giving back to your community is even easier with mobile scanning. To donate, select a local school or cause partner on your phone, tap SCAN NOW, and scan by taking a picture of the cap code.
You may also send your caps into school (in a bag, please) and we can scan them in for you!
CLEARANCES
While volunteers are not currently permitted in the buildings, we are hopeful that this will change by the end of the school year. Taking care of this part now will allow you to help with school needs/events as soon as we are given the "green light"!
We very much appreciate all of the parents who have already submitted their clearances. Without parent volunteers, the PTO couldn't do all the great things we do for our school!
