PFO Corner- HELP NEEDED!
We are still looking for classroom Room Reps for a number of classes. The Room Rep acts as a liaison between the PFO and the parents of students in the class. Their role involves communicating PFO events and activities to parents, gathering feedback and concerns from parents to share with the PFO and working with our Volunteer Coordinators to ensure we’re able to provide these special Dewey Events. The Room Rep is a vital role at Dewey but it does not require a huge time commitment. While we would love to have you at our monthly meetings, it is not required. Our Room Rep Coordinators will often draft messages for you to send to your class and our Volunteer Coordinators help manage the volunteer needs. The PFO appreciates your help and partnership!
Please visit deweypfo.com for more information about ways to get involved, our PFO executive board and committee chairs, and an online store for Dewey merchandise!
- Yes, it is that time of year again. The Dewey JOG-WALK-RUN-A-THON! This fundraising event is scheduled to take place on Friday, October 18th during our regular school hours. Here’s the schedule:
8:55-9:35 McCulloch, Gallington, Early Kindergarten
9:40-10:20 Pfost, Melnik, Leschly
10:30-11:10 Holmgren, Hann, Strong, Molaison

- Proceeds from this event will support our school. (We earned a whopping $8,858 from last year’s event! Your support enabled Dewey to purchase t-shirts for our student government, a sound system with 2-wireless microphones for our MP room, field trip scholarships for our 5th and 6th graders and River Cats game attendees, an exciting BMX assembly, PE equipment, and resources for our Maker Space and 6th grade Promotion ceremony. Thank you!) The Jog-a-thon will include walking, jogging, or running laps within a forty-minute time period (one lap will equal approximately one-quarter mile). We are inviting all family members to join us on the day of the Jog-a-thon to run with their child’s class and/or help with management. Students are encouraged to ask family and friends to pledge a specific amount to help make this event a success.

Don’t worry if your child doesn’t start next week- everyone will have equal opportunity to DESIGN, BUILD, and CREATE in the Maker Lab.
The Maker Lab runs on your donations. There is a box for all donations in the office hallway. All cardboard tubes, craft supplies, duct tape, etc. are appreciated. Don’t keep google eyes around your house, but you still want to give? There is an Amazon Wish List: Dewey Maker Lab Wish List
