Highland View PTO:  Once you see this, things will never be the same again!

Hello Highland View Families!

Just a few big alerts for everyone this week:

1)  High Interest Day!  A few areas can use extra help for High Interest Day coming up May 13th.  If you don't know what High Interest Day is, here's the skinny:  During the afternoon on the 13th, volunteers will spend time with groups of 3rd-5th graders giving the kids a chance to learn/try different subjects, activities, and hobbies.  Topics range from rocket science to pillow making to football to cheerleading (and more!)   The following areas need extra volunteers, so if you are (or could be) available May 13th, please contact Mrs. Michalski at Christine.C.Michalski@ehi.com These areas already have leaders, they just need extra grown-up hands and eyes to keep things moving smoothly!

Topics needing extra helpers:

Cooking
Bracelet Making
Pillow Making
Journal Making

2)  Garden Day!  There are a couple repairs needed on the Highland View Garden, but they'll be wrapped up this week, so we'll be having a Garden Cleaning and Seeding party after school on Friday May 6th.  (Weather permitting.) TEACHERS:  If you have any particular produce you'd like to have in the garden ready for harvest next fall, let me know.   Once everything is planted, we'll get a summertime watering/weeding sign up schedule out.

As always families, if you sign up to help with the garden during summer and there's something that needs eating during your volunteer time--it's yours to enjoy!

3)  Teacher Appreciation Week is coming up next week (May 9th-13th) so keep an eye on your Friday folder for more information on how you can join in the celebration of our school's amazing teachers and staff!

4)  Kickballers (still) wanted!  We have a solid one-half of a parents kickball team ready to roll at the Greendale Education Foundation's annual tournament.  Games will be August 13th-14th during Greendale Village Days.  Who else wants to get their kicks for education?

That's all!  Have a great week!
