Highland View PTO:  5 Tips for a Super Spring!

Hello Highland View Families!

I hope you got to enjoy some of the beautiful weather we had this weekend.  WOW!  I've been missing it for sure.

I know the subject said "5 Tips..." but because it's so beautiful outside, we're going to knock it down to three:

1)  AWESOME PTO meeting Monday 4/18.  On the agenda:  Meet our new Greendale Schools Superintendent, High Interest Day, the May fitness event, Village Days games?, an End-of-the-Year Fun event, and Room Parents.  6:30 PM in the Highland View Library--Be there!

2)  All your school supplies in one click?  WHAT?!?!?!??  Try something new this year!  The Highland View PTO is working with a local company, School-Pak, to let you buy all your school supplies online and have them delivered right to your door in one click.  The lists were drawn from the teachers' own supply lists, and include brand name products bundled for a great price.  Check out the Highland View page here for details and to place your order:  http://www.schoolpak.com/catalog/highland-view

3)  It's time to NAME NAMES!  Seriously, there are only a few days left to nominate great Highland View volunteers (maybe even yourself!) for the 2016 Bruce Paprocki Volunteer Award.  Every nominee will be recognized, and one outstanding Highland View volunteer will have their name added to the plaque in the office.  Just send a note to the office at school, to this email, or to Mrs. Flater saying who you think should be recognized as a great volunteer and why.

Also, we're still looking for names of folks who would consider stepping into a leadership role on the PTO next year.  The PTO at Highland View operates a $10-20,000 per year budget, and funds, promotes, and runs just a crazy amount of programs and projects at the school.  Each position is an important part of maintaining the amazing environment we've created here at Highland View.  Interested in keeping this great organization moving?  Know someone else that might be?  Email back and we'll talk!

Thanks for reading this far!  See you Monday!
