The Coyote Update
Brought to you by Kuentz PTA – October 18, 2016
A Word from Christie Szabo PTA President
Happy October Kuentz Coyotes!
Can you believe that it’s already October? It must be October because Howl at the Moon is right around the corner. The Kuentz PTA is excited to bring our favorite Kuentz tradition back for another year – Howl at the Moon. Families that have been at Kuentz for a while, know how much fun the kids have playing games, jumping in the inflatables, and watching the parents get competitive with our awesome Silent Auction. If you’re new to Kuentz, you are in for a great time.
The PTA is also hosting two donation drives to benefit our Title I sister schools, Carnahan Elementary and Glass Elementary Schools. Beginning October 24 th thru November 18th, we will be collecting new or very gently used tennis shoes and new toys and/or books. Look in the front hallway for donation bins during the above mentioned dates.
Our goal this year is to build a community of parents, teachers, and staff working together to support our students. The first step in building the community is by joining the PTA. Your dues help support the school-wide reading program, field trips for students, and instructional materials not covered in the school budget. If you haven’t already done so, I strongly encourage you to join today. With your paid membership, you have a voice in our election process. We want to hear from you, our Kuentz family.
Finally, be on the lookout for information about the 2016-2017 Kuentz yearbook! Start taking those pictures now. More info to come.
Sincerely, Christie Szabo
2016-2017 Kuentz PTA President

The PTA Needs You!
Hospitality Committee
The Kuentz Hospitality Chair is in need of parent volunteers to provide food and drinks for the schoolwide teacher/staff luncheons and special treat days. The luncheons are Thanksgiving on November 18th, Souper Bowl on February 3rd and Teacher Appreciation on May 5th. The special treat days are Christmas on December 16th and Seventh-inning Stretch in late April. If you enjoy cooking or baking, please consider being added to the Kuentz Hospitality Committee. I will send out a Signup Genius before each event for parents to sign-up for items to bring or volunteer to help during the luncheon. Please email me your name and email address to stockdalekatrina@gmail.com to be added to the Kuentz Hospitality Committee. Thank you for supporting our outstanding teachers and staff at Kuentz!
Fundraising Chair Needed
This is a year where the emphasis is going to be less on fundraising and more on building community. It is a great year to head this committee. We need help going forward for the rest of 2016 and 2017. Please consider heading this great committee. Please contact Christie Szabo at christieszabo@hotmail.com
