As usual, here's the links, lists, and lowdown that accompany what we talked about today. (The agenda is here. If you have questions about an agenda item, let me know!)
1) Here's a description of the bass bow we approved the grant for, in case you were wondering: http://www.sharmusic.com/Bows/Bass/Beginning-0--300/Schmidt-Workshop-Double-Bass-Bow.axd#sthash.g4orUXnE.NWLtDNir.dpbs
2) The conference childcare room volunteer sign up is here: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0a4fa5ad22a13-conference1 It's fantastic to be able to go to conferences and not have to find a babysitter for the 15 minute block. Please help us continue to offer this service to our teachers and families.
3) Read Me a Story Night is approaching. Join in the fun Friday 2/19 6:00-7:30. Cuddle up with a favorite stuffed animal, blanket and pillow, and hear some great stories told by great people. This year there'll also be crafts to make and as always, cookies and milk at the end of the night. Speaking of milk and cookies, Christie mentioned there's still room on the Sign Up Genius to bring more. Click here to see what's still needed!
4) QDoba Night Out for Highland View is also on its way! On 2/23, skip cooking and have dinner at QDoba on 76th St. (across from Southridge) from 5-9:00 PM and 10% of your bill will go right back to Highland View. Keep an eye on your students' take home folders for another orange flyer and be sure to take it with you! (Or print/show the electronic version here. )
5) The Greendale Education Foundation's "Cheers to Education" wine and food pairing event is coming up February 26th 6:00-8:30PM in the Greendale Learning Center (Library). It really is one of the best grown-up events I've attended. (Don't get me wrong, I L-O-V-E Neon Dance Night--but sometimes it's nice to be around adults!) There'll be many different types of wine and beer for tasting and food served by local restaurants and students in the award-winning culinary arts program at Greendale High School. Bring some friends, and make it a night out. You'll have an excellent time, and you'll help support an organization that's helped Highland View for years. You can buy tickets at https://search.seatyourself.biz/webstore/webstore.html?domain=greendalefoundation&date=2016-2-26&event=.
6) The Bruce Paprocki Distinguished Volunteer Award. Bruce was an amazing volunteer at Highland View who unexpectedly passed away several years ago. His contributions to Highland View and our community were amazing and the PTO chose to honor him by creating an award in his memory. Each year, the PTO recognizes one volunteer who served our school above and beyond expectations and has that volunteer's name added to a plaque displayed in the office. You can find more information about the award, and how to nominate someone here.
7) The Greendale Health Department is restructuring the Step Up To Better Health Committee. That's a big deal to us, because that's the group that organizes the fun run which is a major fundraiser for our PTO. They are absolutely begging for more community involvement. Please take a look at the flyer here and join in if you can!
8) Don't forget to order your Yearbook! You can do it online here, or turn in the form that went home in your student's take home folder Friday or today.
9) You can be a part of that Yearbook by picking a page from the list here that you're interested in designing. Once you've picked a page, we'll get you an account in Lifetouch (our Yearbook company) and you'll be all ready to become a published (Year)book author. Never done it before? Don't worry--there are lots of experienced Yearbook volunteers at Highland View all ready to help you out.
10) Know any cool science tricks or demonstrations? In addition to showing off students' projects, there'll also be fun science demonstrations and crafts at Highland View's STEMfest in March. We're looking for ideas, so let us know what you know! Want project ideas? We've put together a list right here!
WOW! I think that's about all the supplemental information needed to fill in any blanks from tonight's meeting. Thanks again to everyone who was here in person, or in spirit. See you at school!
