Dear Montgomery Families,
1). Fall Fundraiser - Montgomery Elementary Mighty Aviator Dash.
On September 30th, students will participate in the Mighty Aviator Dash to Swaim Park. Between now and then, students are raising pledges for the Dash. The funds raised will support the school by:
- Supporting the PTO operating budget for the year - this funds the various programs the PTO runs over the course of the year.
- Supporting "Special Requests" - Special Requests is an allocation process we go through each year to supply teachers & staff with fixed assets that go beyond their normal operating budget. Chairs, books, carts, media support, sensory space items, playground equipment, audio equipment, are just some examples. It allows teachers flexibility to acquire the tools they feel they need to deliver an optimal educational experience. Supporting special requests is dependent upon raising funds in excess of our operating budget.
Registration is open and costs nothing. Each registered child will get a t-shirt - supported by our generous sponsors. Families will be invited to cheer on their students during the event. Please check our website (click HERE and scroll down) for instructions and more details. Please direct questions to mtptofundraising@sycamoreschools.org.

All new and returning students need an Art Shirt that can stay at school to protect clothing from Art materials. Please send in an OLD T-SHIRT (only slightly larger than your child’s size) ASAP.
Pull-overs are preferable for maximum coverage and dressing independence.
The Art room has a supply of extra art shirts for temporary or permanent loan. If you need one, please let Mrs. Carroll know.
Over-sized long-sleeve shirts can be a hazard to the student and a magnet for mess, please avoid sleeves that hang past the students’ wrists.
Aprons and smocks are not preferred as they can cover less of the students’ clothing and/ or be harder for the student to put on independently.
Art Shirt Procedures
Art shirts will be worn at all times in the Art room, regardless of circumstance.
Unfortunately, there are no guarantees that all Art accidents will miss your child’s school clothes, even with an Art shirt on. Although most of the materials in the Art room are washable, there is always a chance that even washable materials may not completely wash out, depending on color, fabric, and time. Please be assured that appropriate action will be taken to avoid mess and prevent stain. However, it is strongly suggested that you not send your child to school in their newest or best clothing (especially light colors) on their Art day.
Notes from Samantha Block, School Counselor
As we begin the school year it is important to us that we reach the many needs of our students, one of which is continuing the "Changing Families" divorce support group for students. If you would like your child to participate in the coming weeks please reach out to our school counselor Samantha Block at blocks@sycamoreschools.org. More communication regarding an official start date and length of sessions will be provided by Mrs. Block once the group numbers are finalized. Any questions or concerns can also be directed to Mrs. Block.
Weekly Supplemental Food Bundle
If any family is interested in receiving a weekly supplemental food bundle each Friday please contact Mrs. Samantha Block at blcoks@sycamoreschools.org. This information will be kept confidential.
