I hope everyone is enjoying some nice weather outside with their families. Soon enough, the smell of fresh cut grass will be in the air. We only have a few months left and this is a really busy time of year for the PTO. I hope you are able to come and support our upcoming events. President: Christa Smith [email protected] 1st Vice President: Melinda Svec [email protected] 2nd Vice President: Jennifer Salla [email protected] Secretary: Kimberly Stremmel [email protected] First, I would like to thank Mindy Svec for stepping up and coordinating our Family Fun Night. You did a great job, Mindy! Thank you to Ashley Pantano for taking care of our donations for the Lehman Center. Great idea! Thank you to all who made donations. Thank you, Jill Laughman, for counting all of the donations for Penny Wars and taking care of the prizes! Great job, as always! Thank you, Nicki Herdson, for all of your hard work with the Wolfgang Candy fundraiser and the spirit nights held throughout the year! Thank you to Jen Baumgartner for coordinating the Bus Driver Appreciation Breakfast. Our PTO could not be a success without our wonderful volunteers. Coming up this month are some fun events. Our first ever Pottery Nights will be held with Mrs. Lehman (these required preregistration and the nights are currently full). We also have a spirit night at Isaac’s Deli (please see the flyer on the last page). We’ll also be planning for our end of year activities. Please consider volunteering where you can. We still need a chairperson for next year for our Holiday Breakfast with Santa. If you are interested, please contact me and let me know. Our April PTO meeting will be held on Monday, April 4, at 7:00 p.m. in the library. Please consider attending. At this meeting we will be voting for our 2016-2017 PTO Officers.
