In case you were unable to make last months PTSA General meeting here are the general meeting notes.
Rocket Blast:
Thanks to your generosity we raised over $31,000. We have already been able to put approximately $6000 directly into our classrooms for supplies, funded Red Ribbon Week, Walk to School Day, Reflections, Art Awareness and Terrific Kids programs, Mulch and soil for the garden, soccer goals and every kind of ball you can think of on all three playgrounds, supplied lunch to our fabulous teachers all during conference week and are about to purchase 30 new ipads, protective cases, and carts to transport them to classrooms. We also plan on supporting off site teacher trainings!
Box Tops:
We should be receiving a check for about $1000 for the box tops we recently sent in! Thank you so much to all of you who spent the time collecting and cutting and to our committee chairs Lindsay McClintock and Kristine Nowak for organizing. Box Tops have gone digital! There are still a few physical box tops so continue to send them in but you have to download the App, register our school and can easily scan your receipt to continue collecting and earning for our school!
Reflections:
We want to thank all the parents who encouraged and supported their children’s participation in this year’s Reflections program in October
Projects were presented in music, dance, literature, visual arts and photography.
11 moved on to compete at the Tom Mathis Council level and 7 received awards and are moving on to compete on the state level!!! Those students are Millie Jane Anderson, Audrey Tidmore, Annabelle Tidmore, Matthew Thomas, Brynlee Anderson, Matthew Baggott, and Emma Knickerbocker – Congratulations!!
Veteran’s Day Program:
This was our first year and it was amazing! There was a wall of honor up in the hallway with pictures our students submitted to honor their Vets. The Kiwanis club was here as well as 50 Vets! The Veterans all got to parade through the school and our students showed their love as they passed by. Then there was breakfast sponsored by Chick-Fil-A, Martins, and Starbucks. Michelle Pfister was the chair of this event and did a wonderful job! We know this event will be a favorite for years to come!
