Vision & Hearing Screening Volunteers Needed on December 2
Vision & Hearing Screening is coming up, and volunteers are essential to this process! You do not need to have any prior experience - training takes place when you arrive. The screening team simply asks that you be available for the entire shift and that you do not bring younger children with you. Please see this Sign Up Genius for times slots and to volunteer!
Make a Wish Fundraiser
🧑🏫✈️ Send Your Teacher to the North Pole: A Make-A-Wish Fundraiser! Help Us Grant Wishes & Win a Class Party!
The Challenge: We are raising money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation! We are challenging our students to see which classrooms can raise the most donations to send their teacher on an imaginary trip to the North Pole!
The Reward: The winning classroom in each division gets an amazing party while their teacher is "gone"!
How to Send Your Teacher North!
The Goal: Every dollar donated goes directly to Make-A-Wish.
The Score: $1.00 donated = $1.00 for your classroom.
The Divisions: There will be TWO winning classes!
Primary Winner: Kindergarten – 2nd Grade
Intermediate Winner: 3rd Grade – 6th Grade
Donations: All donations must be clearly marked with your Teacher's Name to ensure the donations are counted toward the correct classroom. Donate as often as you would like between Dec. 1 - Dec.12th.
The Grand Prize!
The teacher whose classroom earns the most money in their division will be "sent to the North Pole" for a special 40 minute time.
While the teacher is "gone," the two winning classes will enjoy:
☕ Hot Chocolate & Treats Party With A Visit from a Very Special Guest! (Who might it be?)
GiftCrowd
Getting Ready for the Holidays with GIFTCROWD!
A new way to celebrate our amazing teachers & staff!
This year, the PTO is excited to try something new for holiday gifts using Gift Crowd! Instead of classroom baskets or classroom gifts, families can now contribute online to show appreciation for our amazing teachers and staff.
It’s simple: choose a teacher or staff member, decide your contribution (all amounts are confidential), and add a personal message. Just before winter break, each recipient will see their total and redeem it for gift cards of their choice.
A meaningful and easy way to make the holidays brighter for the people who do so much for our kids! Click this link to participate!
