Popcorn Fridays are Back!

We heard your feedback, and we’re excited to bring popcorn back to Fridays this year!

Starting Friday, October 2, students can purchase popcorn during lunch recess on the playground for $0.50 a bag.

Want to make it even easier? Popcorn cards are $5 and include 11 bags — that’s 10 punches plus a bonus bag!

Parents can purchase popcorn cards or pay for individual bags ahead of time by cash, check, or Venmo.

Order forms for popcorn cards will be sent home in students’ backpacks this Friday, so keep an eye out for them.

We also need parent volunteers! Popcorn runs all school year, and we need a few helping hands each Friday to keep it going. If you’re able to volunteer, please sign up here:

Popcorn is a fun Friday treat for our students, and the funds raised go right back into the school to support PTO projects and student activities.

We’re excited to bring back Popcorn Fridays!

*New volunteers: Please complete the volunteer paperwork with the school office and background check before your first volunteer shift. It’s a quick and easy process!

September is here, and we have some PTO information to share!

Our September At a Glance, PTO school-year calendar, and Caramel Apple Night flyer have been placed in teachers’ boxes and will hopefully be heading home with students today. We’ve also attached digital copies here for easy reference.

One date we especially want to highlight is Caramel Apple Night on September 25 from 5:00–6:30 PM! Sauk Farm LLC will be joining us and is generously providing the apples and hot apple c***r for the evening. We’ll have caramel apple slices with your choice of toppings, along with a fall craft and coloring station for the little ones.

We hope you’ll join us for a fun evening with friends and family!

Quick calendar note: There is a small error on the printed calendar regarding the April PTO meeting date. The digital calendar attached here has the correct date, so please use that version for April.

Tears and Cheers Breakfast! IS THIS MORNING!

TK & Kindergarten parents — once you’ve survived drop-off, come join us in the school library at 8:20 AM for a little coffee, a bite to eat, and a chance to meet other parents who are right there with you.

Whether you’re feeling a little teary, totally relieved, or somewhere in between, come hang out, chat, and commiserate with us. This is just a relaxed morning to get to know one another and start the school year together.

While you’re here:
• Get your drop-off tag laminated
• Pick up a complimentary car hanger
• Grab a coffee and something to nibble on
• Meet some fellow TK & Kindergarten families

We hope to see you there!
