Highland View PTO:  Welcome Back! We're hitting the ground running!

Hello Highland View Families!
Here we are, ready to go,
These are the first things you should know:

1)  Congratulations to the Highland View Kicking Crew parents/alumni kickball team--they're our Greendale Kickball Champions!  They won the championship game in a 3-0 shutout, great job!  We'll have to get ready for the repeat next year!

2)  Meet Your Teacher Day is this WEDNESDAY, August 24th.  As is our tradition, starting at 5:30 PM, the PTO will be serving ice cream outside, so stick around!  We'll have bases and kickball set up for the kids, and soccer balls to play with on the fields too.  Bring a picnic dinner and stay until dusk when we'll have a movie and popcorn outside too!

If anyone can help scoop ice cream starting at 5:30, that would also be SUPER appreciated.  The more scoopers we have, the faster the lines go!

3)  The first PTO meeting is Monday September 12th.  We'll start at 6:00 in the Highland View Library as usual.  We'll approve the budget for this year, and get the fun rolling.  Family Dinner Night is coming up sooner than it feels like, so you can check in to join Ms. Settle in planning that awesome event.

4)  Save the date:  October 23rd is this year's Step Up To Better Health Fun Run.  In 2015 Highland View won the participation trophy for the first time in many many many years, so let's keep the streak alive!  Do you think we can talk Mrs. Flater into getting back in the dunk tank in 2016?

5)  Save the (other) date:  September 13th is our first "Dine Out For Highland View" night of the 2016-2017 school year.  On the 13th, when you visit Panda Express on 76th street (by Southridge) and bring in the flyer your student will bring home from school, Highland View will get a portion of your purchase price!  So, save yourself some time making dinner that night, and help our school at the same time!

That's all for now!  I can't wait to see you all again this Wednesday for Meet Your Teacher Night!
