EKD PTA NEWS
April
It’s here! Spring is finally here! Well, almost. With warmer weather we look toward our many exciting
upcoming activities. There are many events in the coming months, but let’s take a moment to look back at
January and February. We had a blast at the Snow Ball with nearly 1/3 of our school in attendance! In
February, many families attended our Chuck-E-Cheese night and participated in the Pottery By Me
fundraiser raising over $300. We finished with a wonderful free family Skate Night. Mark your calendar as
we spring forward!
Thank you to the many families who donated snacks for PARCC testing!
We reached our goal!!!!
Thanks to EKD Families like you,
the PTA has earned over $1500 this
year from Box Tops for Education.
Thank you for clipping those little
tops. They add up! We will continue
collecting for next year’s submission
so keep clipping!
Congratulations to Miss Rager’s
class! They had the most submissions
and won Minecraft EDU time.
Volunteers are Our Heroes!!!

If you would like to continue
seeing these activities, we
desperately need you to
volunteer for a board position.
Our terms are up and without a
new president, treasurer, and
secretary, EKD PTA will be
forced to dissolve! That means
field trips will cost and activities
will be cancelled.
Nomination forms (Yes, you
nominate yourself) went home
and are available on our website.
Please help us save our PTA for
the future!
