Don’t miss the last PTA meeting of the Year

Please note change of start time: Tuesday, May 21 at 7:00 p.m. in the auditorium. Free dinner will be provided and child-care will be available. We had a tremendous response to the survey we sent out asking for your opinion of how the PTA should spend its money. Want to know the results? Come to the meeting and find out! Also come meet the incoming and outgoing PTA board, have dinner, and discuss how this year went and what we are planning for next year.

Outdoor Movie Night coming up!

Finish out the school year at Outdoor Movie Night, where the PTA will present “Wreck it Ralph” on the grassy quad on Friday night May 31. Bring beach chairs and blankets and enjoy dinner and movie under the stars. Doors open at 6:30 for dinner—we'll have a taco cart selling tacos and hot dogs. The Italian Ice Truck will be there and popcorn and candy will be sold as well. The movie will begin at 7:30 p.m. Pre-order movie tickets and dinner to avoid the lines that night. Depending on when you turn your money in, you'll either receive your advance purchase tickets for movie and food via your students' backpacks or they’ll be available at Will Call on the night of the movie. Questions or want to help set up? Contact Andrea at andreachasek@gmail.com.
