The Welcome Back events all went well, and we learned a few things too. Coupling the Ice Cream Social with the Meet-Your-Teahcer days for 4K and for the other grades worked out well. Between the two of them, the PTO served out 22 gallons of ice cream! But most importantly, Highland View families had a chance to meet their compatriots and fellow-wanderers for the year, and make connections that'll benefit everyone in 2013-2014.
The Highland View garden, my pet project since last spring really took off. Classrooms and teachers and helpers have already enjoyed a lot of great produce, and the (literal) fruits of their labor. We're still hammering out a date for the championship party, but no matter what, the garden proves that when we all work together, we all win!
Our other new projects for this year are rolling to a great start too. We're an inch away from getting a final specific set of guidelines for our new "Handy Helpers" committee to use in determining what they can and can't fix for teachers. The musical lunch program is moving forward too, with a handful of volunteers already set to come perform for our students during lunches this year.
I'd also like to take moment in my report to remember one of the PTO (and Highland View's) most dedicated volunteers. Bruce Paprocki passed away this month, and he will be missed by all of us here.
Highland View you later!
Aleks
