CD Bulletin
Dear Country Dale Families,
Thank you for your engagement with Parent/Teacher Conferences the last two weeks. We hope you found the time beneficial in learning about what your children have been learning about and working on at school. We are always looking for ways to improve our communication between home and school so please feel free to follow-up with me if you have any suggestions as to how we can keep our family engagement strong and meaningful.
Our staff would also like to thank our PTO and parent volunteers for providing two dinners. Conference nights are long for our teachers so knowing there’s a delicious meal involved definitely helps us keep the energy high!
Have a wonderful week!
Shaunna LaPlant - Country Dale Principal

PTO NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS
FAMILY OLYMPICS
Family Olympics will be Friday, December 9th at 6:30 PM in the gym. Please note this is a date change due to a scheduling conflict. We hope to see many families there! Family Olympics is an evening where Mr. Blask plans interactive games to get the whole family involved! This is a fun and low-key event.
SPIRIT WEAR
We are excited to announce our winter spirit wear store is live! Check out the awesome new gear, including some cute beanies and tie-dye shirts! There is something for everyone. Orders will be accepted through Tuesday, November 29th at 10 AM. Items can take 4-6 weeks to arrive. Order here: Country Dale Spirit Wear
STAFF SNACKS
The PTO is introducing a new idea to show staff appreciation on a more frequent basis! Families can sign up to bring in a small treat for teachers and staff on this SignUpGenius link. Snacks can be anything from homemade cookies or bars, bagels, soft drinks, coffee, candy, doughnuts, or anything else you might be thinking of. This does not need to be a meal by any means, just a small way to say we appreciate you! There are two slots available for each week, and you may bring in your treats in the morning when it is convenient for you.
TREASURER IN TRAINING
We are in search of a new PTO treasurer as Katie Delemont has been serving for many, many years and per our by-laws, we need to vote on a new person. If you would be interested in learning more, please contact Leah Palmer or Katie Delemont directly. leahpalmer16@gmail.com
