October Was a Busy Month!
There was so much going on with PTA in the month of October. Thank you so much to everyone who volunteered to help out with one or more of our many events! Here is a recap of the October events:
Scoopie Night – Our first Scoopie Night of the year had a great turnout. 88 students dropped their names in the buckets and Mrs. Little’s class won the frozen custard party with 16 students attending! It’s always exciting for the kids to eat out and see their fellow classmates.
Penny Wars – The students had fun battling against other grades to see who would come out on top.In the end we raised over $600 dollars and 2nd grade won the root beer float party and pencils!
Halloween Dance – This is always a popular event and this year we had record attendance. There were so many fabulous costumes and it was great to see the adults get into the spirit as well! A huge thank you goes out to the Schraedley’s for their “Creepy Crawl”, Ms. Art for her black light gallery, Ms. Nunn for recruiting high school volunteers, Mrs. Chubak for being the MC, and everyone else who helped make this huge event a success.
While the dance was fun, we had some safety concerns including running in the gym/hallways and throwing garbage and soap in the bathrooms. We ask that parents please supervise children and speak with them about proper behavior while at PTA events. We want to make sure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable time.
Book Fair – Thanks to everyone who stopped into the book fair. The book fair was open during fall conferences and it was great to see so many students stocking up on new books to read!
Teacher Conference Meal – The teachers work hard during parent/teacher conferences and we want to make sure they’re well fed! The PTA provided teachers with a baked potato bar from Texas Roadhouse and many of you donated side dishes and desserts.
