RESTAURANT NIGHT
We are off to an excellent start! The turnout at Back to
School Night makes it apparent to everyone that we are
gearing up for a great year! So many parents interested in
knowing what is going on with their child’s education – that’s
fantastic! Not only are we interested in our children’s
education our sense of community is growing as well. The
turnout at the Fall Festival makes that apparent!
Our focus right now is to reach our $5,800 goal with our 1-23 Fundraiser – so we don’t have to have a spring fundraiser.
We are still short $2,661. If you have not sent in a donation
yet please do consider. The funds we are raising will directly
benefit your student. The PTA supplied each student with
their first agenda book. The PTA funds the honor role
celebrations, student awards and incentives and 6th grade
Outdoor Ed Reptile Man. We support the Redland Respect
program, curriculum support requests from the staff, and
more. Not sure how much to give – think about how much
you would spend on wrapping paper or candles and write a
check for that amount. Once you write your check send it
into the main office marked PTA fundraiser.
Looking forward to seeing you at the October PTA meeting.

get the supplies, where the PTA closet is, etc
