Highland View PTO:  Too soon?  Never!  Also:  Kickball emergency and Meet Your Teacher events

Hello Highland View Families!

I hope summer is going well.  The email for online registration reminded me that we have some PTO stuff coming up in August, and you're all invited!

But first:  Kickball emergency!
Our Highland View parents kickball team is still short 5 players for the Greendale Education Foundation tournament!!!! (We added some players, but we lost some.)  Our two guaranteed games (if we are awesome we'll play a championship game later) are on Saturday August 13th at:

10:00 AM at the baseball field next to Walgreens on Southway against the Highland View Teachers team!!

and

11:15 AM at the baseball field across the street from GHS (Jaycees park) against a team of Canterbury families.

Please join in!  It will be a ton of fun--our kids got to play against the teachers, now so will we.  And it'll be a great time to mix it up with the Canterbury families afterward too.  Please (super please!) join in and let me know if you're coming.  If you're now a GMS parent, you're invited too--once you're in the family, you'll always be welcome!

Second:  Meet Your Teacher Day is coming up in a few weeks--August 24th.  As has become a tradition, the PTO will host an ice cream bar (along with some veggies from the garden) starting at 5:30.  Bring a picnic dinner and hang out while the kids play and catch up with old friends, then stick around for an outdoor movie at dusk (8:45?).  We're taking submissions for movie ideas, so feel free to write in with your family's choices!

Keep cool everyone!
