February PTO Meeting

Please consider becoming a part of the Pickerington Elementary PTO. You do not need to attend meetings or give your time, we recommend doing what you are able too. Please if you have not already done so, please send in the $10 membership dues (only 1 per family is needed). It is a great way to support your PTO which supports the staff and students.
As a member, when a decision at the PTO meetings needs to be made, your vote will count. You must be a PTO member to vote at all PTO meetings. If you have any questions or need a copy of the membership form, please contact Darcie Adams at darcieadams13@gmail.com or Anjelica Bates at ajhynes36@gmail.com.
Restaurant of the Month
Pickerington Elementary hosts “Restaurant of the Month” each month. Every month we have a fundraiser evening at local restaurants to raise money for our PTO. This is a great way to support the school and for your kids to see their classmates! The following “Restaurant of the Month” for February is on the 4th at Hangry City and Grille.
Be on the lookout each month for the Flyer to be sent home!
Penny Wars
Penny Wars is the week of February 3rd - February 7th. This event is held during school hours where the children would bring in coins/bills to place in coin buckets in their hall of the school. All three hallways, Gr. K, Gr. 1 & 2, Gr. 3 & 4, will have a bucket for each grade level. The more pennies or bills they have in their bucket, the more points they have. When they bring in the silver coins, they want to place those in the other grades’ buckets because those will deduct points from their total. This event has the students use their thinking skills on where to place the silver coins in order to come out with more points.
All funds raised through this event go to the PES PTO. The PTO would be using these funds for field trips, Super Games, assemblies, the 4th Grade Pizza Party, and more. This will help us keep our budget steady in order to give out students and staff a helping hand with items that might be needed throughout the year.
Stay tuned to our Facebook page in order to see which grade is in the lead! (https://www.facebook.com/Pickerington-Elementary-PTO-407407322666441)
