Penguin Patch Online Holiday Shop - Nov. 9th - Nov. 16th
Dear Parents,
We know that so much about this school year looks different, but we're so excited that our school will be participating in an online Penguin Patch® Holiday Shop to spread holiday cheer!
Penguin Patch® Holiday Shop is a fun way for students to shop for family members and experience the spirit of giving while learning to earn, budget, and save! Our online shop will be open from Nov. 9th - Nov. 16th!
To log in to our school's secure shopping platform, please use this link:
https://shop.penguinpatch.com/
Your student will have over 100 delightful gifts to choose from, all ranging in price from $0.50 to $12. This is an amazing opportunity to empower your student to choose, purchase, and give gifts to their loved ones!
All gifts will be shipped straight to your home for a small flat-fee. They'll arrive in festive "Special Delivery" packaging, with wrapping supplies included! We're excited to create this new holiday tradition and spread good cheer with you!
Happy Holiday,
Van Buren PTO
Penguin Patch Holiday Shop Chairperson

Things to Remember!
- Make sure your student has two clean masks in their backpack at all times.
- Talk to your student about social distancing and reinforce the importance of practicing this at school.
- If you need to drop something off at school, there is a table in the entryway. Please use the Post-It notes provided to label the item with your student's name and teacher. We will make sure it is delivered to them.
- Please remember to charge your student's device each night. Also, please stress the importance of taking good care of their device.

ATTENTION CAR RIDER FAMILIES!!
Please do not enter the car ride line before 3:35pm. If the line forms too early, it creates traffic problems and our buses have a difficult time entering the parking lot. We have found in the past that pick-up goes much quicker if the line forms closer to dismissal time. Thank you for your cooperation!
Just a reminder, if you turn right out of the parking lot, please turn right onto 40 so that you don’t hold traffic up behind you and slow down the pick-up process for other parents.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated!
