Turn in Donations Monday!!!
Thank you to everyone who has sent in donations for our Carnival Auction! The donation deadline is tomorrow.
Please make sure that any donation you send in has your CHILD’S NAME, GRADE AND TEACHER’S NAME listed on it; so, it will be logged in our donation book correctly. It is very important that your child’s donation is labeled, or they may not receive proper credit towards prizes!

Biggest Fundraiser of the Year!
You will receive frequent updates about specifics in the next few days from your room mom.
TONS of work goes into the preparation, the actual events, and then all of the work that comes afterward, but it is worth it! All hands are on deck to ensure that everyone has a great time at the events, but also that our students reap HUGE rewards!
There will be dozens of opportunities for you to get involved, and WE NEED YOU! If you are available to help in any way, please send an email to jackandersonpto@gmail.com
Needs range from inventorying carnival donations, keying in donation items for the online auction, setting up beforehand, shuttling items to Bluegrass to cleaning up after the carnival is over. There is a spot for you, and this is a perfect opportunity for you to get to know other JAE families.
The money raised from this annual event helps our school so much. It allows the PTO to help provide STEM experiences, teacher professional development, instructional materials, upgrading the ever changing technology, help with any other educational needs that are asked of us, and ensure we have the funds to pay the annual salaries of both our STEM and Technology teachers. Every single penny goes back to our students as we continually strive to provide the very best STEM educational program. Our students are blessed to attend a school where these opportunities exist. That is why this fundraiser is so important!!
You will see parents, grandparents, neighbors, community members, custodians, cafeteria staff, assistants, office staff, teachers, administrators, and even staff kids giving it our all to help make this event a success. Truly, it is one of my very favorite parts of the year. Thank you for supporting Jack Anderson Elementary!

Reminders
Early Dismissal
If you need to sign your child out, please try to be in the office as close to 3:00 as possible. You may have to park on the side of the building closest to Gallatin Road. You may even have to park in the grass. You will notice that both lanes of the car rider line will be full, and you will get stuck if you try to drive around to the front parking lot. You are encouraged to allow plenty of time to make it to the front office to sign your child out before 3:15.
