Family Lego Night
Friday, January 25th - 6:30-8:00 pm
Stillwater Gym
Stillwater PTSA is SUPER excited to partner with Bricks & Minifigs from Monroe, WA to bring this NEW family fun event to Stillwater! Families are invited to come to the Stillwater gym and enjoy 1.5 hours of LEGO building fun. Bricks & Minifigs will be running a few optional themed building competitions at the bulk tables throughout the evening. But if you prefer to skip the competitions and keep building on your own, you are more than welcome! You can’t keep your creation but you can snap a picture and every family that attends will get to leave with a small bag of bulk LEGOs . Bricks & Minifigs will have a kiosk at the event to purchase LEGO sets (cash/card only), they will also be bringing LEGO sets as prizes AND every family that attends will get entered for a chance to win a Bricks & Minifigs birthday party package!!!
Cost: There is an entry fee cost per family*. Please pre-order your entry fee, you will save money and it will give Bricks & Minifigs an idea of how much bulk to bring. Entry fee is $7 per family for PTSA Members and $8 per family for non-PTSA members IF YOU PRE-ORDER. Entry fee at the door is $10 per family. The extra build contests are not available for pre-order, they can be purchased the night of the event on a first come first serve basis. They will cost $6 each for non-PTSA members or $5 each for PTSA members. Cash/Check/Card will be accepted at the door. *family is considered everyone in a household.
Food: The PTSA is NOT serving food at this event. LEGOs and food/beverages do not mix, so please plan accordingly.

Riverview Education Foundation (REF)
Dinner & Auction
January 26, 2019
@ the Bellevue Marriott
RIVERVIEW EDUCATION FOUNDATION would like to invite you to the 2019 Evening for Education Dinner Auction. 
Dear Stillwater Families -
 
This highly anticipated event features a delicious dinner, exciting silent and live auctions, games, giveaways, and the company of others who value education as you do.
The Foundation is an integral partner with the Riverview School District providing many grants to Stillwater Elementary School, as well as every other school in the district. This year alone, Stillwater received a $5,000.00 grant for our school’s Green Team Garden Project. Without this support, we could not bring school grown produce into our cafeteria. Our teachers at each grade level request support such as this for their own projects and educational enhancements. REF supports our classrooms by providing intervention materials, technology, software and other supplies. Every child in the district has access to items purchased with REF grant funding. Grants are awarded in the areas of Technology, Health and Wellness, Science, Language, Career and Technical Education, Math, Visual and Performing Arts, Student Services and more. Your attendance at this event will help sustain this important work. 
It's not too late to put a table together. Please join us for this awesome night out!

~Mr. Madigan
