So Much Coming Up...
If you'd like to attend a field trip or classroom event or party during the school day, please be sure to complete your volunteer application online at www.kpbsd.k12.ak.us and follow the links under Volunteers. This is a school district requirement that must be completed each school year. Once you receive approval, it is valid for the whole school year, so get it done now and be ready for the event you want to attend.
PTO is planning the Halloween Carnival for October 25th from 6-9pm. This is a very fun event for the whole family, but as with most events, it's also a lot of work to put on. So if you are interested in helping, we would appreciate it! We need help setting up, working the booths, and with clean up. Please be on the look out for sign up sheets from your child's classroom or call the office and let us know you'd like to help! We appreciate all of our families and all that you do to make these events possible.
Our big cash raffle fundraiser is also beginning. The tickets are $20 with 22 cash prize winners, winning up to the Grand Prize of $2500. Don't forget to purchase your ticket at the school office. This helps to support our PTO and sponsors many student activities, including field trips.
If you're interesting in becoming involved with our PTO (Parent Teacher Organzation), you are welcome to attend the meetings. The next meeting is October 15th. Also, be sure to "like" their Facebook Page at https://www.facebook.com/TustumenaElementaryPto/.
