I can’t believe it is December already! Please remember to send in your child dressed warmly for recess. We go on the playground unless the wind-chill registers under 20 degrees. Tonight is Bingo Night hosted by our PTO. It begins at 6:30 and we hope to see you here in the cafeteria. Also, please remember if you are dropping off your child after 9:15 you must come into the office to sign your child into school for the day. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation!
Best,
Amy

A MESSAGE FROM NEEDS (NE Emergency Distribution Services)
Montgomery Elementary Students, Faculty & Parents,
Thank you for your generous donation to the NEEDS Food Pantry. You have been so faithful over the years with your annual food drives. It is such a nice way to help others during the Thanksgiving season and to teach children the importance of serving others. We’d like to add our special thanks to Susan Linton for helping make this happen.
This year has been tough for so many families with the significant rise in grocery prices. Our pantry has seen a 35% increase in the number of families we are serving. We rely on donations from schools, churches and businesses in our community to keep our shelves stocked.
Please know that the food you collected will benefit people in the community where you live. The NEEDS volunteers and the families we serve thank you!
Happy Thanksgiving to all,
Janie Sadlon & Maureen Flanagan
NEEDS Pantry Operations

THE GIVING TREE
Since donations are way down this year, we have decided to extend the deadline to Tuesday, Dec. 6. Help a child in our community stay warm this holiday season! The PTO Make-a-Difference program is partnering with Operation Give Back, a local nonprofit that provides support to families in the Sycamore community, to collect donations for NEW hats and gloves for K-12 students. We will have a giving tree in the office and one under the main stairwell until TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6. Please consider the gift of giving!
The PTO invites all Montgomery Elementary families
for an evening of free family FUN!
