PTO News Corner:
CHOCOLATE SALE:
By popular demand, PTO has decided to run a chocolate sale fundraiser after all! It will launch on January 31st. If you would like to be on the volunteer list to help with this big project, please let us know. On Mon / Wed / Fri mornings 7:30-9:30, there will be a need for sorting and counting, distribution, and helping with rewards. This year, the rewards will be more event-based rather than plastic toys, and some events will be for the entire grade level so students can participate even if their family is unable to sell chocolate this year.
THEATER CLUB:
Theater Club staff sponsors need our help! Please consider signing up for one or more dates, to assist during theater club hours on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons from 2:15-3:45.
ART THERAPY
Our wonderful art teacher, Mrs. Medsker, is working on bringing us a curriculum designed specifically for our students by an art therapist. In mid January, we will send a volunteer signup to sort the supplies that have already been donated, and help create kits to support the curriculum.
PLEASE JOIN US!
Next PTO Meeting date: Tuesday, February 18 at 5:30 in the Media Center
