Highland View PTO:  Summertime Funnertime!

Hello Highland View Families!

Hi everyone!  Can you believe this is the second-to-last email you'll get from me this school year?  Wowsers!

This one's a shorty though.  I wanted to take a second and plug a few fun outdoor events coming up in Greendale:

First:  Run To The Parade!   The Greendale High School Marching Band is one of just seven high school bands chosen to participate in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.  The students will be representing the Village of Greendale, Milwaukee County, and the State of Wisconsin as the first Wisconsin high school band to march in the parade in since 2010.  BUT they need a lot of money to go.  One of their big fundraisers is a run this Saturday (June 4th!) through Greendale.

If you're into fitness, or just into enjoying our town or helping our High School band, there's still time to register.  You can go online here:  http://www.zapevent.com/ListActivities.aspx?eventid=8347 or register at the Greendale Hose Tower between downtown Greendale and the Middle School on June 3rd between 4:00-7:00 PM.

Second:  Save the Date!  October 23rd comes sooner than you think!  That's the date for the Step Up To Better Health Fun Run and Walk.  This event benefits Highland View, and the proceeds go straight to programs, projects, and equipment right at our school.  More information will be available as the date gets closer, but for now, just lock in that day for some Fun and some Run!  (And who knows, kids whose families register might get to dunk Mrs. Flater again!)

Third:  Get green!  (And muddy!)  The Highland View Garden is up and growing.  As usual, we'll need families to help keep it watered and tended over summer so our kids can come back in September to a lush green garden full of great things to eat.  Remember--it's little red hen rules; if you work on the veggies, you get to eat the veggies!  If you're watering the garden and see some great looking veggies during the summertime, they're yours to eat and enjoy!  You can sign up to pick a week (or a few weeks!) to water and care for the garden here:  http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0a4fa5ad22a13-highland3

That was it for today!  Keep having fun and enjoying this awesome weather we're getting!
