Special December PTO meeting
Fall School Grants/Funding Request
Submission Deadline extended to Thursday, December 10th.
As a PTO Exec Board, we work hard to ensure we are thorough and thoughtful in the way we invest back into our school. In addition to the numerous programs we fund and the support we provide the teachers, every year the PTO makes intentional choices on where to invest incremental money via school grants. Thanks to your generous support of the Warrior Challenge, the PTO has even more to invest this year. Since your kids raised the money, we want you to be part of the choices that we make on investing.
Please plan to join a special meeting of the PTO at 1:00m on Thursday, December 17th. The entire agenda will be set to address the ideas submitted for how to wisely invest proceeds from the Warrior Challenge.
Do you have an idea for how to spend the proceeds? All members of the Maple Dale Community (Parents, Teachers, Students, Staff, Administrators - everyone) are invited to submit a funding request for items and projects they think would be a good use of these funds. Submit your request at: https://forms.gle/DhdvYZfzpDLNHD6k7 Be sure to read the tips below for how to write a good funding request. Requests are due by December 10th. .
Tips for a good funding request:
We are better together - talk to others about your ideas and gather co-sponsors
Talk to the school or a board member if you have a major request or a really new idea. We might be able to give some input so that your idea is the best it can be.
Be specific. As much as possible know exactly what you are proposing. Get quotes or firm costs. Have a budget.
Ask any of the board members if you need help.

The theme this month is humility.
HUMILITY
Humility does not mean thinking less of yourself. It means thinking about yourself less. It means putting someone else’s needs and desires before your own. Someone who has humility thinks about serving others rather than their own pursuits. People who have humility have a stronger sense of identity, character, and belonging.
This is a virtual meeting so RSVPing is optional. Here's the link to RSVP:
