Teacher Appreciation Week

Hello PTO Friends!

Teacher Appreciation Week begins Monday - May 6th to May 10th.  We are inviting all PTO Members and their children to show our teachers some love by decorating the front walkway of the school with chalk drawings/messages for the teachers to arrive to on Monday morning.  If you have some free time on Sunday, May 5th, we will be leaving a bucket of colored chalk at the front door for you and/or your child to write a short message (Teachers Rock, I love you Mrs. Hanlon, etc).  We will be capping of the week by hosting a Teacher/Staff Appreciation Luncheon on Friday during regular lunch hours, if anyone would like to volunteer to help facilitate this event please let us know.

Our regular monthly PTO meeting will be held on Wednesday, May 8th at 8:30am in the cafeteria.  We will be posting the agenda next week on our blog.  We hope to see you there!

Alicyn and Marcie

    I'm so sorry you have the impression that this is only for PTO Members. Exclusion is not what the PTO is about. Please stop by on Sunday, May 5th with your children to draw on the sidewalk.

    We put on free events such as Literacy Night so that you and your children can attend and enjoy them. The PTO is about trying to foster community involvement for the enrichment of our children's education. Our dues are only $5 for the year - but no one checks to see if you are a paying member. In fact, our mission, volunteers and money are always for the general good of the children. For example, the PTO purchased butterfly kits and tadpoles to bolster the science curriculum in the classrooms.

    Please don't ever feel that we are excluding you. We welcome even your kind thoughts or prayers as support of the PTO.

    IS the PTO going to be posting the names of the MAY calendar winners?

    Yes, we will. I will...just as soon as I assemble them. They have been posted to Twitter and Facebook. Just click the plug-ins to the right of the page. Personally, I prefer the Twitter (the blue bird) because the posts are sequential. Clicking won't subscribe you or anything. It will just bring you straight to our Twitter page. Or just cut and paste this address into your browser: https://twitter.com/FortBanksPTO

    Best regards,
    Marcie Moline, PTO Co-President
