Farmer Elementary PTO Newsletter March 2024
SAVE THE DATE!
The 3rd annual Farmer Fun Day will take place on Saturday, April 27th! Please make plans to attend this community event to support Farmer Elementary. This year, we have a goal to raise $15,000 to go towards purchasing replacement ChromeBooks for the school.
The day will start at 2pm and wrap up with the student talent show at 6pm. You don't want to miss this wonderful event with games, bluegrass music, silent auction, live auction (featuring one of a kind classroom plates with student fingerprints), dunking booth, chicken pie and our awesome students showcasing their talents.
We will pre-sell Chicken Pie plate tickets. If you would like to pre-order plates for dine in or take out, please send in order form and money that will be sent home with students in the next week. You can also email us at FarmerSchoolPTO@gmail.com.
Students will also be bringing home a baggie with 5 Farmer Fun Day invitations to pass out to family and friends and get their signature. Once students have collected 5 signatures, they can turn the paper in to their teacher to be entered into a drawing for a free wristband for games at Farmer Fun Day. There will be one drawing for a free wristband per grade level.
Can you volunteer the day of the event, or provide items needed for Fun Day? If so, sign up for a slot to help out or donate items HERE.

Can you help? The clothes closet at Farmer is desperately in need of boys pants (sweats, athletic pants and shorts) and underwear in sizes 6-10. Please, NO JEANS. If you have anything that your children have outgrown, we would appreciate it!

Mad Science Event
Farmer PTO provided funds for a Mad Science performance for all students on February 5! Each child was also gifted a Mad Scientist in Training shirt they wore to the assembly. Special thanks and shoutout to Amber Mabe for the awesome design and to Kandy Hogan and Brittany Powers (Baseline Screen Printing) for printing the shirts.
On February 15, Mad Science came back to Farmer for our Science Title 1 Night to do classes for each grade level. This was such an amazing opportunity for our students to see science in action while having fun!
