Hello Highland View Families!
Three bits of sweet sweet PTO action for you all:1) STEMfest, wow! I am so excited to see all the awesome STEMfest projects the kids have been registering and announcing these last couple of weeks. STEMfest is going to be AMAZING! For the S-T-E-M demonstrations at STEMfest we'll need a few parent helpers. (Don't worry, you'll have all the materials and instructions and know-how ahead of time!)
We need
- someone to help make electric circuits with kids using a conductive play-dough,
- someone to make abacuses (the ancient Egyptian calculator!) with the kids,
- someone to help kids make their own silly putty,
- someone to show kids how to play a coding game using their brains as computers, and
- someone to help demonstrate simple (but fun!) math games for the kids.
Also, if your student registered for STEMfest, expect an email today or tomorrow with details about project displays, timelines for the event, space availability, etc.
2) Book Fair! The Spring Book Fair is coming up March 14-18th, and Cheryl could use help!
Mostly we'll need cashiers during the three selling times: 8:00-8:45 AM, 11:30-12:45 PM, and 3:15-4:00 PM. It's pretty easy--just zap books and give change. You may need to help students figure out how much they can afford with the money they were sent with. You may also choose to gently prompt students to choose books instead of $20 of erasers and toys. If there are multiple parents at any given shift, it would be great to have a parent circulating to help answer questions and find things for the shoppers.
We'll also need a cashier during STEMfest on the 18th, and hopefully some help cleaning up and tearing down the Book Fair afterwards.

3) Yearbooks! We're still looking for pictures. Especially (but not ONLY!) if you have pictures from:
- The first day of school
- First graders having fun,
- Third graders having fun, and
- Family Dinner Night.
Our Community Image Upload Site Access Code Is: MBHRJL
All pictures are welcome. Remember, the Yearbook's only as good as the pictures that are in it!
Thanks so much everyone! (Seriously, thanks a million. You make all the awesome things at Highland View possible. )
