PTO NEWS & NOTES
BOX TOP'S SNOWBALL CONTEST
Montgomery Elementary's
2nd Annual Snowball Battle!
It’s time to gather your Box Tops - the battle is on! From January 17th to January 24th classrooms will be competing to collect the most Box Tops. For every 10 Box Tops your classroom turns in, your class will receive a ‘paper snowball’ to throw at another classroom. The classroom that throws the most snowballs AND the classroom that gets hit with the most snowballs will each receive a hot cocoa and popcorn party. Earn extra snowballs for your classroom by taping unexpired Box Tops to a Snowflake (came home in Thursday folders). For every 10 unexpired Box Tops taped to a snowflake your classroom will earn 2 SNOWBALLS. So, gather those Box Tops, check the dates, and get taping! Each snowflake should have the student’s homeroom teacher’s name on it. Submit the completed forms to the main office. (Box Tops may be taped to plain pieces of paper. They may also be submitted in baggies. Just be sure to label the paper or baggie with the teacher’s name.) Extra snowflakes will be available in the Main Office. Even if you can’t complete your own snowflake - hand them in, we will combine them - remember it is a class effort and every Box Top helps! Questions, please contact Caroline Tyler - carolinetyler@me.com Thank you for your support of our school!
COMMUNITY NIGHT - WENDY'S
Back by popular demand... Our next community night at Wendy’s (10765 Montgomery Road) will be on Tuesday, January 17th. By simply mentioning that you are with Montgomery Elementary, 20% of your receipt will come back to our school. So mark your calendars and tell your family and friends to plan a night out at Wendy’s on January 17th.
WE ARE GOING GAGA
OVER GAGA!
The PTO is excited to announce that a permanent gaga pit has been installed on our playground! Thanks to our successful Boosterthon fundraiser, our students are sure to enjoy this fast-paced, high-energy, gentler game of dodgeball that is taking America's playgrounds by storm. Mr. Splitt will teach the rules during gym class so everyone can enjoy the game. We also added a special doorway to the pit so all of our students can participate.
