2 HOURS OF POWER CHALLENGE
We Need Carnival Sponsors The Carnival & Fun Run committee is now seeking sponsorship for the carnival attractions. Either your company or your family can sponsor a game, beginning at $50 at our Blue Level. Read more about sponsorship attractions and what comes with the Blue, Red, and Marksman levels. If you wish to sponsor an attraction, please email Andrea Niermeier at Andrea.niermeier@gmail.com as soon as possible. The Carnival & Fun Run Committee appreciates your consideration as we work to not only put on a community-building event but also to support the PTO's Whole Healthy Child initiative. Looking For Field Day Volunteers Before long the grass will be green again and that means Field Day is right around the corner! Coach Hobbs will need lots of volunteers to assist with our many Field Day activities. Volunteers will also be needed in the Morse Garden. Please keep Friday, May 17th open on your calendar and stay tuned for more information about this awesome event. Fifth Grade Farewell Help Wanted It's so hard to say good bye, but these kids are almost ready to move on to middle school! Let's send them off with a great celebration. If you are interested in helping plan the Thursday, May 23rd Fifth Grade Farewell, please contact Jody Dietz at herbivorekc@gmail.com |
