Robinson PTO Newsletter
October 2022
Let's Start with a THANK YOU!
We wanted to start with a thank you to all that participated in the float building, walking, and candy donation for the Greentree Parade. We want to give a special thanks to the Rappaport family for representing Robinson for over 10 years as walkers in the parade. Well done, Roadrunners!
October has a lot of fun things to offer, and we thank you for joining all the Robinson events this month. As a reminder, we will not have an October PTO meeting but we have lots to celebrate as we kick off the Be the Change fundraiser! See below for more details on the fall fundraiser and monthly events.
Happy Fall,
The PTO Board
Cartoon Caravan!

Be the Change Fall Fundraiser
We all belong, small ones and tall ones. We can all make a difference in small and big ways.
Join us for an easy, no fuss fall fundraiser where kids and adults alike can help shape our school community! All proceeds will go to the Robinson PTO to enhance the educational and social environment for our students, staff and families. Without your generosity none of this would be possible! There is no donation too small! And even our kids can Be the Change by bringing in spare change or by talking to families and friends about investing in their school community.
Monday, October 3rd-10th, the kids can participate in the spare change drive while families/friends can donate online or via cash/check addressed to Robinson PTO. Parents donating by cash/check, please bring directly to the office so they don't get lost in backpacks. Kid donations (coins and cash) will be counted toward their classroom competition for prizes and family/friend donations (online or cash/check) will be counted towards the larger fundraising goal of $15,000. If reached, all students will throw water balloons at Dr. OH and if exceeded, condiments of choice will be added to Dr. OH's adventure!
Have additional questions or want more details about classroom prizes and school goals?
