Upcoming Events

·  Teacher Appreciation Week- May 2 – 6—doing it different this year. Pauline Schmitt is going to organize the breakfast with Black Bear…Shoprite is going to provide the lunch. Anita is going to help organize…there was so much excess last year so we want to tone it down. A day to raffle off gift cards. Try not to fatigue the parents and ask for too much. Something small like a card or candy. Class moms can still celebrate the week on their own, but they need to make it clear it is optional and not a PTO-sponsored event.

·  Flower Sale- Friday, May 6—right before Mother’s Day weekend—week of Teacher Appreciation Week…Cub scouts can plant in both schools if there are any left over. Last year there really weren’t any left over. Send the notice out through the coordinators in case people need it. Going to the schools the Wednesday and Thursday before to show the kids the flowers.

·  Mother Son Event- Friday, May 20—rented out the Sports Zone—putting kids in teams. Photo Booth for a keepsake, prizes for kids…forms went out. So far about 110 people attending. Tickets selling out fast.
