Highland View PTO: May Need-To-Know's

Hello Highland View Families!

This Monday always makes me feel like a Jedi...I can tell people:  "May the 4th be with you!"

Moving along, there's a lot to know for May from Highland View.  The top three, in no particular order are:

1)  High Interest Day is almost here!  If you have a talent, hobby, activity, or career that you think the kids might like to learn about, and if you're free during the day on May 15th (Friday) there's still time to contact Christine with questions and to find out how you can share it with the kids.  (Please!)

If you just want to help out with some of the materials we need for High Interest Day, a sign up genius page is here:  http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0a4fa5ad22a13-high1

The cooking, and scrapbooking sessions are material-intensive and could use whatever you can help with!

2)  May is Fitness Month at Highland View!  I bet there have already been some panther tracks filled in for Highland View's May fitness activity!  On Thursday you should have received a "Get Your Panther Home" worksheet.  For every 30 minutes of activity, or 3 servings of fruits and vegetables your student gets in a day, fill in one track.  When all the tracks are filled in, return the sheet to school for a prize!  (We'll send the prizes home at the end of May.) Hopefully we can get 300 panthers home again for a nice treat on Olympic Day!

3)  Officer nominations for the PTO.  It was reported in the minutes sent out and posted back in April, but here's one more note that this month's PTO meeting will include election of officers for 2015-2016.  Nominated candidates are:  Aleks Skibicki (President), Chandra Comiskey (Vice President), Cheryl Kelly (Treasurer), and Shawn Schlieve (Secretary)

The meeting this month is May 11th, same Bat-time (6:00), same Bat-station (in the Highland View Library) see you there!

P.S.  Don't forget to get your tickets to the prestigious Celebration of Education event put on by the Greendale Education Foundation May 22nd.  Everyone who's anyone will be there!  (And you're someone, right?  Yup!  You sure are!)  Reply to this email and I'll get tickets to you.  Tickets are $35 apiece and the proceeds go to grants for our schools, teachers, and students.
