Hello Highland View Families!
October's a great month; the leaves are turning colors, the weather is brisk, and you can buy pumpkin spice anything. Speaking of pumpkins, do you know the best way to fix a broken one? With a pumpkin patch!
Here are a couple quick October PTO updates for everyone:
1) The October PTO meeting is 6:00PM Monday the 12th in the Highland View Library See you there! Family Dinner Night, RIF, and the famous All the World event are on the agenda. This is also your chance to tell us what you want to see at Highland View As always, child care will be available and the teacher whose class has the highest attendance (at least 3 but they could be a family!) gets a $25 Learning Store gift card.
2) Safe-Respectful-Responsible t-shirts are almost here! The last classroom's sizes were turned in on Friday, and there are just a couple staff sizes left before I can get the order turned in. Students and staff get one free from the PTO, and you can order extras in any size for $10 each. On the front they have the Highland View logo with the Safe-Respectful-Responsible text. On the back there's a panther track and the "Making a difference with the tracks I leave" motto. This year's shirts will be black with green print.
3) Highland View spiritwear: The sale is on now! You can order online here or use the order form sent home in your student's take home folder last week. The sale will be completely closed as of October 20th, so don't wait!
4) Highland View phone books should also be out soon. The advertisements are all turned in, and on Monday, the proofs for approval will be emailed to the people who submitted ads. Then it's just a question of getting it to the printer!
5) FUN RUN/WALK! Oh. My. Highland View is within 5 (FIVE!) registered participants of being the trophy winner this year. So, while it's too late to get a t-shirt with your registration, it's not too late to sign up and support Highland View. Every student registered--right through the day of the event--gets a chance to try to dunk Mrs. Flater! Every penny of your registration fee goes right back to Highland View, and it is a great event each and every year. This could be it! This could be our year. Help us bring the trophy to Highland View! The registration form is available here.
6) Fundraiser Order Forms are due Tuesday. The fundraiser that went home last week is what makes PTO events and services from the Sock Hop to Teacher Appreciation Week to Bike Racks to Playground Equipment to Assemblies and to Field Trips possible throughout the year. Five-hundred Highland View students give their heartfelt thanks to everyone who participates this year.
7) Family Dinner Night is coming up Friday October 23rd. You can pre-order tickets with the flyer that went home last week. It's $5 per family in advance or $10 per family at the door. The meal will be catered, and there will be entertainment by award winning magician John Lewit.
Thanks for reading this far! See you on Monday,
Aleks Skibicki
Highland View PTO
