October PTA Newsletter
Kramer PTA October 13, 2018 - English Version
October 13, 2018
Here is a quick summary of September and early October. I want to say Thank you to so many of you who have given their time and money to support Kramer. Our first North Texas Giving Day was a huge success. Our community raised about $8,000! Thank you to each person who sent back an envelope or who donated online. Spirit Night at Shack Shack was fun! We hope you enjoyed spending time with other Kramer Families, raising some money and earning a Free Dress Pass. Movie Night was rained out but we will reschedule a date in the spring. Hispanic Heritage Night was darling, yummy and well attended. Thank you for brining food and encouraging your little ones to participate in the celebration. The Kramer Hillcrest Homecoming Float took First Prize at the homecoming parade. Thank you to those families who helped build the float and participated in the parade.
Take look at what we have going on for the rest of October and November.
