Hello everyone!
There's a lot coming up the next few weeks. I look forward to meeting more of you in person, and getting this year started with style!
1) Meet Your Teacher Day, Thursday August 28th
When you're done meeting your teacher for 2014-2015, stop outside and join the PTO for the second annual Meet Your Teacher Ice Cream Social and BYO-Picnic.
This year, several members of the Greendale School Board have volunteered to come out and be guest scoopers for us, so this is a great chance to meet them in person too. The PTO will provide the ice cream and toppings for the ice cream sundae bar, but please bring a picnic dinner and stick around a while to catch up with your fellow Highland View families.
The PTO will also have soccer balls available for pick-up soccer on the field, and kickballs out in the baseball diamond for a fun game of kickball. Everyone's invited to play, kids and parents. So come on out and pretend it's recess again!
2) Welcome Back Breakfast
5K-5th Grade September 2nd 8:45-10:00AM
4K September 5th 7:30-9:30AM
Whether it's a "Woo-hoo!" or a "Boo-hoo!" morning, don't forget to stick around after dropping your student off at school on September 2nd (if your student is in 5K through 5th grade,) or after meeting your 4k teacher on September 5th (if your student is entering 4K.)
The PTO will be hosting breakfast in the gym, giving you a chance to relax and ring in the school year with other Highland View families.
If you'd like to bring a dish to share at the breakfast it would be super appreciated! Here are links to SignUp Genius Pages for what we need:

3) Register For The Step Up To Better Health Fun Run Walk
Pop quiz: What's the biggest fitness event in Greendale, with 100% of the proceeds devoted directly to Greendale schools and students?
Answer: The Step Up To Better Health Fun Run/Walk!
Every year the Greendale Step Up To Better Health Committee puts on a 5K run or 2 mile walk (your choice) through scenic Greendale, and sends all the proceeds to Greendale schools. Not only do nearly 1,000 Greendale residents walk or run, but the money Highland View raised last year alone was enough to pay for the costs of: High Interest Day, bringing the Florentine Opera to the school, bringing Trinity Irish Dancers to the school, new games for the games club, AND bringing award winning author Pat Zeitlow Miller to the school.
The school with the highest participation not only earns the most money, but also gets a HUGE trophy. Highland View has never won--let's make this our year.
A printable registration form with more information is available here: http://highlandviewptorg.blogspot.com/2014/08/register-for-fun-run.html
4) Spiritwear is still available!
Start the year in style with Highland View Spiritwear. Your student will love how they match both the Highland View take-home folder, and this year's Safe-Respectful-Responsible shirts.

Remember, the best way to contact the PTO is through hv.ptorg@yahoo.com ! Have a great rest-of-summer and we'll see you at Meet Your Teacher Day!
