Alpenglow PTA Monthly Newsletter
October 2021
Happy Fall!
This month I feel like things are happening, and it’s so exciting!!
1. Our garage sale was a SUCCESS!! Thanks to all of you and our amazing volunteers, we made $654! But most importantly, we were able to get some great winter gear to our Alpenglow families. We plan on making this an annual event for our school.
2. The Jog-A-Thon is right around the corner, this Friday October 8, 2021. Please continue to collect donations. If it was a Venmo payment, please make sure that you write this down on the pledge form. We want to be able to see how much money each individual student raised in order to pass out prizes.
I have posted the sign up genius on our Facebook page, as well as here:: ( I just did this about 1 hour ago and my email notification keeps alerting me that people are signing up! We have the BEST parents! THANK YOU!)

Please remember you MUST be approved through ASD to volunteer or even to be on the school grounds during school hours to watch your child run!

3. Our next PTA meeting is October 11, 2021 in the library at 3:45 pm. ALL ARE WELCOME. Just since last month our volunteers have doubled (from 4 to 8!!), so we STILL need as many volunteers as we can get to make this the best year for your child, which is our goal! It takes a lot of time and work to make things happen, and the few of us can only do so much, so the more hands on deck, the more things that are possible! And we are a fun group, I promise. :)
4. Don't forget to have your child do their original artwork, and turn it in by October 15th! These make the BEST holiday gifts! Personally, we have done potholders and plates that my kids love to see around the house, and we have sent them off to grandparents as well. This is also a great fundraiser for our school.
5. Thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers who made popcorn Friday happen this month! We will continue to do these on the first Friday of each month, so please let us know if you'd like to volunteer. The next one will be November 5th.
Future happenings
2. We are planning a family fun Winterfest on the night of December 10, 2021. The night will be full of iceskating, hot chocolate, winter games, etc. More to come on this.
3. December 16th is our second Panda Express night.
4. We will continue our spirit wear sales next on Tuesday and Friday from 3:15-3:45 (October 5th and 8th). After that, we will decrease sales to once weekly on Fridays. We are looking to update our inventory with collared shirts, headbands, and new beanies. Any other ideas? Let us know!
Thank you for all you do, and please don't hesitate to reach out!
Stay in the know!
