October Newsletter Update!
Hello! Hope all is going well with everyone! I can’t believe October is almost over already! We have had a very busy month with activities and wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone that participated in these events.
On October 4 th , we had our first PTO General meeting and Movie Night! The weather was perfect, and we had a great turnout. Thank you to Allison Poe, Susan Knight, and our 5 th Grade Committee for helping coordinate the event, and also THANK YOU to everyone that purchased concessions to help raise money for the 5th Grade Committee!
On October 11th and October 17th , the 5th Grade Committee hosted Hat Day and Kona Ice events to raise additional funds for our 5th graders end of year celebration. Both events had amazing participation, and we wanted to say thank you to our volunteers that helped execute the events!
From Oct 22 – 25th we celebrated Bus Driver Appreciation week to thank all the amazing bus drivers and aides who safely transport our students to and from school every day. Their dedication and hard work do not go unnoticed, and we wanted to thank them for all they do for us!
Thank you to our VPs of Hospitality – Chisty Colón and Angel Caesar for planning, and executing, this week’s activities, and thank you to our parent volunteers: Gabriel, Kim, Elizabeth, Mariam and our little helpers that helped pass out treats!
o Tuesday: Bus Driver Survival Kits
o Wednesday: “Thank you for driving a PIZZA our hearts on your bus everyday!” with a Giorgio’s gift card
o Thursday: Specialty juices from Good Vibes Nutrition
o Friday: “We’d be “Muffin” without you” with a large muffin
Finally on Oct 24 and 25th , we closed out our fundraiser events with our “Best Day(s) Ever” - an event full of laughter, dance, and unforgettable memories! Each class was able to participate in our inflatable course, dance it out with our DJ and play fun games. The weather was in our favor and it was such a great day! Huge shout out to our VP Fundraising - Jennifer Porter Chiovaro for planning and executing this year’s fundraiser!
I wanted to take a quick moment and truly thank this year’s PTO Board for their unwavering support as well as our parent volunteers that help make our ideas come to life. And thank you again to all of our PTO Members – your annual $10 dues help fund activities like Movie Night and Bus Driver Appreciation. Without you all, none of these activities or events would happen.
