Highland View PTO: Don't Forget!
Hello Highland View Families!
Can you believe we're a month into the school year already?
First: Thanks to everyone who came to our first meeting this Monday. Minutes should be ready to send out soon, so keep an eye on your email box for them! I hope to see you all at our October meeting!
Second: There are a few big things coming up starting this weekend.
1) The Greendale School District Green Apple Day of Service.
The Greendale School District is hosting a Green Apple Day of Service Event in the Canterbury Woods tomorrow (Saturday 9/27). Volunteers will be doing forest cleanup jobs from 9:00-Noon. Yard gloves and supplies will be provided, just show up and help keep our school district green space beautiful. It's a great opportunity to share the value of service with all our children. The Canterbury Woods is the wooded area between GMS and Canterbury schools.
2) Fun Run/Walk registrations are due WEDNESDAY.
The Fun Run/Walk coming on October 19th is a big deal! Not only are the Fun Run/Walk shirts the #1 fashion statement in Greendale every year, but this is the biggest fitness event the village hosts, and every cent of your registration fee goes to support our school! Get your registration form here, or turn in the one that went home in your take home folder last Friday. Don't feel like running? You can choose a 2 mile walking route instead.
Every student registered will get their name on a panther paw in the gym--let's see if we can make tracks all the way around!
3) Spiritwear and Phone Books.
The Spiritwear order should be coming home next week; keep your eyes open for it. If you're interested in helping sort orders, let me know, and we'll call you in when the order is in our hands! The phone books are just waiting on a few last pieces of information from families whose information we didn't have yet. Expect them soon though!
Have a great weekend!

Highland View PTO: Meeting on Monday (and other news)
Hello Highland View Families!
Just two big reminders and two updates for this week:
Reminder number one: Our first PTO meeting for the year is Monday! We'll be in the Highland View library at 6:00. Child care will be available if you need. We'll approve the year's budget, go over upcoming events, consider new projects, and also consider grant requests from several teachers.
Reminder number two: Step Up To Better Health Fun Run registration forms are due soon! (October 1st is the deadline.) Send those back to school ASAP. They should have gone home in Friday's take-home folder. If it didn't make it home (sometimes things get lost on the way) you can download or print a copy here: http://www.edlinesites.net/files/_4LLsE_/e69c77e2e2e503103745a49013852ec4/Walk-Run_registration_2014.pdf .
100% of your registration fee goes back to Highland View. Last year, funds raised from the Step Up To Better Health Fun Run Walk paid for: High Interest Day, the Florentine Opera's performance at our school, Trinity Irish Dancers' performance at our school, new games for the games club, AND brought award winning author Pat Zeitlow Miller to our school to spend the day teaching our students all about the writer's art. Registration is $30 for a family, and includes up to four t-shirts (extra t-shirts are $5 each.)
Update number one: Volunteer lists are assembled! Thanks so much to everyone who checked off a box (or a lot of boxes!) on their PTO membership form. (And if you didn't, that's OK too, don't worry!) almost 150 families marked an interest in helping out with something during the year--I think that's a record! If you want to help out, but didn't mark anything on your membership form--it's never too late! Come by the meeting on Monday, and we'll get you right in!
Update number two: If you signed up to coordinate an event or activity this year, I'll have packets for you at the meeting on Monday that will include contact information for people who signed up to help, all the PTO resources we have available, and other guidelines/helpful hints we have for you. I'll also answer any questions I can, and show you the PTO storage area and mailbox, if you don't know where they are already.
See you Monday (6:00 in the library!)

PTO: Last Call For Spiritwear (And 2 other reminders!)
Hello again!
I hope school is going great! This is just a three-fold reminder:
1) Spiritwear online orders are due by 5 am Monday morning. The link is: http://www.dunnssportinggoods.net/home.php?cat=302
2) The School Board's big Annual Meeting is Monday too, in the Greendale High School auditorium. The budget hearing begins at 6:30 pm, followed by the Annual Meeting at 7 pm. The School Board will also hold a special meeting at 8 pm to gather community input on the proposed Veterans' Memorial, but no action will be taken on this proposal at this meeting.
3) Finally, if your student is in 5K-5th grade, this Thursday (9/18) is Curriculum Night. It is a great opportunity to hear directly from teachers about how your student will spend their time at school, and how you can support them. (If I just relied on reports from my daughter, all I would know is that they do "stuff" at school and it's mostly "fine.")
As always, the best way to reach the PTO is through hv.ptorg@yahoo.com and not directly replying to this email.
And for those of you that signed up for volunteer opportunities through the PTO, that information is getting organized and will be in the hands of committee and event coordinators by the end of the week, so expect to be put to work soon!
Happy learning!

Highland View PTO: See you at breakfast on Tuesday!
Hello again!
Just a quick reminder that whether it's a "Woo-hoo!" or a "Boo-hoo," morning on Tuesday (the first day of 5K-5th grade) you're invited to join other parents for breakfast in the gym compliments of Highland View Parents and the PTO. Breakfast will be served from 8:45-10:00. Take some time to meet other parents, and talk about ideas and plans for the new year.
(4K parents--since you won't be at school Tuesday, you're invited to breakfast during the 4K "Meet Your Teacher Morning" this Friday September 5th.)
And as long as I have your attention for a minute: Thank You! Target sent us a check for $1,273.34 from all the folks who used their Red Card last year. Remember, not only do you save 5% when you use your Red Card at Target, but they send an extra 1% to the school if you selected us on your account. Next year we'd like to use this money to buy the CARE (Safe, Respectful, Responsible) shirts for all the Highland View students, so your help makes a definite difference! If you haven't yet, you can designate Highland View as your Target Red Card recipient here: http://www.target.com/tcoe . If you prefer, you can also choose by phone at 1-800-316-6142.
Thanks again, and see you in the morning!
