Just when I thought spring was here, I am reminded of how crazy the weather can be in March in Northern Virginia. Please make sure to check the APS website and local news tomorrow evening and Tuesday morning for the latest information about school closures and delays.
We had a great crowd Friday for our final movie night of the year.
The PTA was also busy this week hosting the breakfast for the CETA Arts Integration Day and the second quarter Honor Roll Parties.
I would like to thank all the volunteers that helped to make our events successful on Friday, including
Katherine Young-Smith, Ted Haley, Lizzie Lyons, Jen Davies, Andrew Vitols and Angela Hall
. I would also like to thank
Ms. Neal and the Abingdon Drama Club
students for helping with food sales at Movie Night. Without the hard work of our volunteers, these events would not be possible.
Mixed Bag Orders Due Friday, March 17
Don't forget to place your Mixed Bag order by Friday, March 17. Orders can be made two ways:
1) Complete the paper order form that was enclosed in the packets sent home in last week's Tuesday folder; OR
Shipping is free on orders over $75 and the items will ship directly to your house. If you do this, make sure to add your child's name during checkout so that your child will receive credit for the sale.
Mixed Bags make great birthday and Mother's Day gifts! They also make great end of year teacher gifts, so don't miss out on this fabulous fundraiser.
We have several exciting events coming up in March!
Abingdon International Night Potluck and Show - March 24
Plan now to attend the Abingdon International Night Potluck and Show on March 24 at 6:30 pm in the new cafeteria. Families are invited for a night of scrumptious food and entertainment from around the world. The potluck will only be successful if everyone brings a delicious dish to share, so please make sure to complete and return the flyer from the Tuesday folders so we know if you are coming and what you plan to bring. You can also sign up via our event Google Docs Form.
Are you or your children in an international music or dancing group? If so, we would love for them to perform at International Night! To sign up, just email me at abingdonptapresident@gmail.com.
We are looking for volunteers to help with this event! We need help with preparing decorations (a great project that can be done at home), serving food during the event, event set up and event clean up. To volunteer, please contact Rebecca Kim.
Math and Science Night, Around the World - March 30
Plan now to attend Math and Science Night, Around the World on March 30 in the new cafeteria. Food sales will start at 6:30 pm and profits will go to the Third Grade Team for special projects in their classrooms. The activities will begin at 7 pm. Don't miss out on this fun evening!
I guess if the snow is coming, we might as well enjoy it. Maybe I will see you on the sledding hill on Tuesday! Otherwise, I look forward to seeing you all at the various events we have this month.
