Highland View PTO:  Let's Talk!

Hello Highland View Families!
Happy new year!  Just a quick email to work on two resolutions, and to celebrate a third coming true!

1)  Do we want to have an event in March?  At one point there seemed to be a lot of interest in a learning-based but fun event in March, but right now it looks like not so much.  (Just the two of us?)  We could skip March as far as PTO events go, if that's the general feeling out there.  If you're interested in helping come up with a plan for a fun and smart-ifying (ensmartening?) event for March, visit the site here and just click on the times that you might be available to get together.  We'll get together at whichever time has the most of us available.

2)  Same question but in regards to the room parent program.  It's a great idea, but like all great ideas, if no one's actually interested enough to do anything with it, then we don't have to do it.  You can see what we're talking about when we say "room parent" by checking out the draft/idea for the program guide here.  And if you agree that it's a program actually worth pursuing and trying to put into action, visit the site here and click on the times you might be available to get together and finalize a proposal to send over to Mrs. Flater for the teacher and admin. markups.

3) Finally, let's celebrate a multi-year resolution coming true!  Thanks to Mrs. Kleinowski, there are now "Highland View Dines Out" nights scheduled for January through April!  So mark these dates on your calendar to come dine out with Highland View friends and help raise funding for all the things we do at the school!
