PTO PRESIDENT’S REPORT
The Montgomery Elementary Super-Carnival is getting closer…
This year’s Super-Carnival will be on Friday, January 25, 2019 from 5:30-9pm!
It’s an amazing event for all and a very important fundraiser for our school!
A lot of information (including the Bake Sale SignUpGenius and Cake Walk sign up for our Kindergarten families) will be coming home or will be posted in the Newsletter/Website the week we get back from winter break so be on the lookout! We are not be able to do this without our amazing parent volunteers, sponsors, and generous donors!
In this week’s S’more you will find information on being a Family Silent Auction Sponsor or Donor (this area is typically geared towards parents and also large ticket kids items). If you or someone you know own a business and would like to sponsor or donate a separate form can be found for Business Sponsorships and Donations on the Website or by contacting our Silent Auction chairs at montelemcarnival@gmail.com.
Another way you can contribute is by to donating items for our basket raffle. These are fun filled baskets specifically designed for the kids! Please consider an item or two! Once again without your generous donations this would not be possible!
Sign Up to Volunteer to Work a Shift! More information can be found in the S’more (including the SignUpGenius Link). Carnival will not happen without volunteers! Sign up by yourself or as a group but make sure to do it soon!!!
Remember we are still collecting CANDY until our January, General PTO Meeting! At that meeting we will be sorting the candy for carnival and can use extra help so please come!
---------------
Our next General PTO Meeting is Wednesday, January 16th at 9:30am!
Bill Fritz, Director of Technology for the district, will be speaking at our next general meeting about kids, the internet, and what parents can do to keep them safe. You will not want to miss!
Please follow our private Facebook group, “Montgomery Elementary PTO” to learn about upcoming events and see photos of your children having fun experiences at school.
The PTO would not be able to do what we do without our amazing volunteers, parents, teachers, and staff. If you would please take a moment to fill out the Montgomery Elementary PTO Questionnaire we would greatly appreciate your feedback.
Have questions before then please contact me, Kristy Felss, at mtpto@sycamoreschools.org.

It’s hard to believe that the school year is half way over!
Wishing everyone a wonderful Winter Break! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
