As the first part of our school year is quickly coming to a close, we are beginning to set our sights on 2019. And while we’ve already had many fun community-building events in these first 4 months, there is still more in store for the new year!
Mark your calendars now for the following events:
January 18: FFN – Game Night (5:30pm – 7:30pm)
February 6: Variety Show Preview (4:30pm –7pm)
Finally,
we are still in need of a Field Day chair
. We’re starting the search early, so as to lessen any chaos of a last-minute appointment. Field Day, planned for May 24 this year, is a much-loved end of the year celebration for the entire school, and because our longstanding chair graduated along with his son last year, we are looking for someone new to carry on the torch. Rest-assured, he left a lot of blueprints to help the next person, so the intimidation factor should be pretty low.
(Alternatively, if you have a passion for Art and would like to head up an end-of-the-year art celebration for the school, instead of Field Day, let me know.)
If you are interested in helping with Field Day or want to find out other ways you can be involved with PTA, I invite you to our
next association meeting, TOMORROW -- Friday, December 14 at 9am
in the Library Reading Room. Coffee and treats will be provided for our special holiday meeting!

Next time you're at drop-off or pick-up, please take a moment to peruse the Lost and Found section located in the rear of the MPR. You may just find that water bottle, sweatshirt, or item you didn't even
realize
got left behind at school!
