Turn In Your Takis!
We are looking to send in our first shipment of Taki packaging over the September break, so please turn in your collected items this Friday (September 18). Bags (emptied of all food crumbs) should be marked with the student’s name and homeroom teacher and dropped off with Mrs. Roberts in the Media Center. Thank you for your support!
Parents Needed!
Are you a parent who is passionate about the environment and wants to make our school a more sustainable place? Then come join the Green Team! We need adults to assist and oversee our student volunteers who help with composting and recycling during breakfast and lunch service at school.
Please direct questions to Mrs. Roberts at kathryn.roberts@csdecatur.net.
- Help us reach our goal by tomorrow, Friday, September 18th at midnight! Contribute to the Class Fund and support our teachers! We are about 70% to our goal – we can make it with your help! Can’t think about this until Fall Break, after the 18th? No problem – the site will be open so you can still donate! Every contribution, big or small, helps! Contribute at bit.ly/classfund26.
- This school-wide Class Fund will be split equally between classrooms and used by Room Parents for appreciation gifts for Homeroom and Specials teachers throughout the year (for birthdays, end-of-year holidays, and Teacher Appreciation Week).
Please send in a plain white T-shirt for your child by Friday, September 18th! This year, Ms. Radford, Coach Johns, and the PTO are teaming up to screen print special Field Day shirts for every student! The shirt can be new or used, but it must be blank. Please label the shirt with your child’s name and homeroom (write inside the back neck, use tape or staple a piece of paper to the shirt - whatever works best!). The printed shirt will be returned to your student before Field Day (October 9th). If providing a shirt is a financial or other barrier, please let your child’s teacher know they need a donated shirt and the size needed. The PTO will gladly provide one, and requests will be kept private. Have extra plain white shirts to donate (sizes Youth Small through Youth X-Large)? Please send them in, too! Questions? Email general@talleypto.org. Be on the lookout for more information about our off-site Sip & Screen Print event, after Fall Break. We will gather to sip, snack, and screen print all of these Field Day shirts!
