· PTA Meetings are held the first Wednesday of each month

· Get ready! The Scholastic Book Fair is coming our way (YAY!). Choosing their own books empowers kids and inspires them to become Bolder, Prouder, and Stronger Readers – AND, as always, every book they buy earns rewards for our school.

· The book fair will take place in the Pierce Media Center from 1:00 pm – 8:00 pm (with a break from 4:00 pm– 5:00 pm) on November 13 and 14 during Parent/Teacher Conferences.

· Volunteers are needed to help during the book fair with purchases & assisting families in locating books. We also need help setting up the book fair on November 4, and taking it down on November 15. If you are able to help, please sign up below.

Please send us your photos for the opportunity to be in the yearbook! We need your pictures from Back to School, Carnival, Fun Run, Centennial Celebration and other in-school events. Send photos to PierceElementaryYearbook@gmail.com to be considered.

One of our biggest needs each year is daily help in our school library. Before you volunteer in the library, we ask that you attend a 25 minute training session. Once you are trained, you'll be sent the Sign Up Genius to sign up for slots. There are 5 open slots/school day (2 in the morning, 1 midday, 2 in the afternoon) and you are welcome to sign up for as many or few as fit your schedule.

Currently, we have training sessions scheduled on select Thursdays. No need to sign up ahead of time, please just check in at the office & head to the library that morning. Training dates are scheduled as follows. Please reach out to pierceelementarypta@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Monday, November 11th 8:50-9:15am
