Survey Results
Are In!
For over 90% of you,
email is one of the top
ways for you to get information. And it just so
happens that email is
how the PTA would prefer to communicate
with YOU! But in order
for this to be an effective means of communication, we need your
email address! The PTA
has a separate email
database than what the
school district has and
because of privacy concerns, they cannot share
their list with the PTA.
So please go to
www.KokaneePTA.
com/membership
and join to leave us
your email address
so you can receive
volunteer requests,
calendar updates
and more!

Message from the PTA Presidents
Our biggest fundraiser of
the year, the Fall Fun
Run, has been a HUGE
success! We raised
102% of our goal and
more donations are
trickling in each day. We
are so proud of our parents, teachers and staff
for working together
and supporting our students.
The Fun Run would not
be possible without our
great volunteers! Thank
you so much to Katy
Carlsward, Staci Steffy,
Maulitta Brown, Kimberly Nolz, Shelley Swen-
son, Teresa Bordenet,
Lynessa Betts, Jen Rees,
Lara Irish, Robin Mckenzie, Wendy Martin, Donna Morgan and Juliana
Omli.
We are looking forward
to seeing you and your
family at the next Dining
for Dollars event at
Teddy’s Bigger Burgers
in Woodinville on October 24th.
And don’t forget to mark
your calendars for our
popular HOLIDAY CRAFT
FAIR on November 16 in
the Kokanee Gym. This
year, we are offering
free booths to volunteers, staff and students.
Please see our PTA website for more details
about that — and plan
on getting a ton of holiday shopping done at
the fair (and don’t forget
to bring non-perishable
goods to be donated to
the Maltby Food Bank)!
As always, thank you so
much for your continued
support of the PTA. We
wouldn’t be able to support our kids without
each one of you.
