PMES PTA PRESS

May 2023

Thank you for another wonderful school year!

It's hard to believe that this is our final PTA Press of the school year! Our PTA Executive Board has enjoyed getting to know so many new faces this year and seeing all of our PMES families at our many events. We wish you and your family a relaxing and fun-filled summer break! If you haven't already, be sure to follow us on Facebook. We will be taking a bit of a rest, but there will still be PMES news and updates coming throughout the summer and we want you to stay in the know!

ONE TRACK MIND FUNDRAISER UPDATE

Big picture

In an effort to continue our One Track Mind Fundraiser, we held our first PMES Penny War in April and it was a huge success! As a school, we raised $2,251.04 toward our ONE TRACK MIND fundraiser which gets us even closer to building the track. This was such a fun event for the students and we thank all of our PMES families and staff for getting behind it!


Top 3 Finisher Point Totals:

1st Grade: 9,625 points

5th Grade: 8,307 points

4th Grade : ,945 points


FUN FACTS FROM OUR COLLECTION:

•22,859 total pennies collected

•196.5 pounds of coins collected

•3rd Grade had the highest positive cumulative total for the week with $446 collected

•Friday's intake alone was $1,303.18!

•Our volunteers counted over 13,000 pennies on our final day of counting!

•We received many coins from exotic locales including the Bahamas, Ecuador, India, Singapore, Chuck E. Cheese, Fisher Price, Disney Princess, and American Girl.


This means that to date, we have raised $33,355 toward our goal of $55,000 to fund the track! We've got the end goal in sight and we're not backing down! Stay tuned as we continue to work toward our goals!

5th Grade Slide Show

Hello, 5th grade parents! We are compiling a 5th grade slideshow to be featured during the 5th grade celebration lunch being held at PMES on May 24th. We need your help gathering photos of our 5th graders through the years at PMES.


Please email your favorite PMES memories to pmesslideshow23@gmail.com.


We are looking for a few of your best pictures from school activities which feature 2 or more 5th graders in the picture. It would be helpful if you can include names of the kids in the photos as well. We are asking that each family submit no more than 5 per child. All pictures should be submitted by May 15th in order to allow us time to compile the slideshow.


Thank you for your help!
