Hello Highland View Families!
Just two big reminders and two updates for this week:
Reminder number one: Our first PTO meeting for the year is Monday! We'll be in the Highland View library at 6:00. Child care will be available if you need. We'll approve the year's budget, go over upcoming events, consider new projects, and also consider grant requests from several teachers.
Reminder number two: Step Up To Better Health Fun Run registration forms are due soon! (October 1st is the deadline.) Send those back to school ASAP. They should have gone home in Friday's take-home folder. If it didn't make it home (sometimes things get lost on the way) you can download or print a copy here: http://www.edlinesites.net/files/_4LLsE_/e69c77e2e2e503103745a49013852ec4/Walk-Run_registration_2014.pdf .
100% of your registration fee goes back to Highland View. Last year, funds raised from the Step Up To Better Health Fun Run Walk paid for: High Interest Day, the Florentine Opera's performance at our school, Trinity Irish Dancers' performance at our school, new games for the games club, AND brought award winning author Pat Zeitlow Miller to our school to spend the day teaching our students all about the writer's art. Registration is $30 for a family, and includes up to four t-shirts (extra t-shirts are $5 each.)
Update number one: Volunteer lists are assembled! Thanks so much to everyone who checked off a box (or a lot of boxes!) on their PTO membership form. (And if you didn't, that's OK too, don't worry!) almost 150 families marked an interest in helping out with something during the year--I think that's a record! If you want to help out, but didn't mark anything on your membership form--it's never too late! Come by the meeting on Monday, and we'll get you right in!
Update number two: If you signed up to coordinate an event or activity this year, I'll have packets for you at the meeting on Monday that will include contact information for people who signed up to help, all the PTO resources we have available, and other guidelines/helpful hints we have for you. I'll also answer any questions I can, and show you the PTO storage area and mailbox, if you don't know where they are already.
See you Monday (6:00 in the library!)

PTO: Last Call For Spiritwear (And 2 other reminders!)
Hello again!
I hope school is going great! This is just a three-fold reminder:
1) Spiritwear online orders are due by 5 am Monday morning. The link is: http://www.dunnssportinggoods.net/home.php?cat=302
2) The School Board's big Annual Meeting is Monday too, in the Greendale High School auditorium. The budget hearing begins at 6:30 pm, followed by the Annual Meeting at 7 pm. The School Board will also hold a special meeting at 8 pm to gather community input on the proposed Veterans' Memorial, but no action will be taken on this proposal at this meeting.
3) Finally, if your student is in 5K-5th grade, this Thursday (9/18) is Curriculum Night. It is a great opportunity to hear directly from teachers about how your student will spend their time at school, and how you can support them. (If I just relied on reports from my daughter, all I would know is that they do "stuff" at school and it's mostly "fine.")
As always, the best way to reach the PTO is through hv.ptorg@yahoo.com and not directly replying to this email.
And for those of you that signed up for volunteer opportunities through the PTO, that information is getting organized and will be in the hands of committee and event coordinators by the end of the week, so expect to be put to work soon!
Happy learning!

Highland View PTO: See you at breakfast on Tuesday!
Hello again!
Just a quick reminder that whether it's a "Woo-hoo!" or a "Boo-hoo," morning on Tuesday (the first day of 5K-5th grade) you're invited to join other parents for breakfast in the gym compliments of Highland View Parents and the PTO. Breakfast will be served from 8:45-10:00. Take some time to meet other parents, and talk about ideas and plans for the new year.
(4K parents--since you won't be at school Tuesday, you're invited to breakfast during the 4K "Meet Your Teacher Morning" this Friday September 5th.)
And as long as I have your attention for a minute: Thank You! Target sent us a check for $1,273.34 from all the folks who used their Red Card last year. Remember, not only do you save 5% when you use your Red Card at Target, but they send an extra 1% to the school if you selected us on your account. Next year we'd like to use this money to buy the CARE (Safe, Respectful, Responsible) shirts for all the Highland View students, so your help makes a definite difference! If you haven't yet, you can designate Highland View as your Target Red Card recipient here: http://www.target.com/tcoe . If you prefer, you can also choose by phone at 1-800-316-6142.
Thanks again, and see you in the morning!

Highland View PTO: Big things coming up!
Hello everyone!
There's a lot coming up the next few weeks. I look forward to meeting more of you in person, and getting this year started with style!
1) Meet Your Teacher Day, Thursday August 28th
When you're done meeting your teacher for 2014-2015, stop outside and join the PTO for the second annual Meet Your Teacher Ice Cream Social and BYO-Picnic. This year, several members of the Greendale School Board have volunteered to come out and be guest scoopers for us, so this is a great chance to meet them in person too. The PTO will provide the ice cream and toppings for the ice cream sundae bar, but please bring a picnic dinner and stick around a while to catch up with your fellow Highland View families.
The PTO will also have soccer balls available for pick-up soccer on the field, and kickballs out in the baseball diamond for a fun game of kickball. Everyone's invited to play, kids and parents. So come on out and pretend it's recess again!
2) Welcome Back Breakfast
5K-5th Grade September 2nd 8:45-10:00AM
4K September 5th 7:30-9:30AM
Whether it's a "Woo-hoo!" or a "Boo-hoo!" morning, don't forget to stick around after dropping your student off at school on September 2nd (if your student is in 5K through 5th grade,) or after meeting your 4k teacher on September 5th (if your student is entering 4K.) The PTO will be hosting breakfast in the gym, giving you a chance to relax and ring in the school year with other Highland View families.
If you'd like to bring a dish to share at the breakfast it would be super appreciated! Here are links to SignUp Genius Pages for what we need:

3) Register For The Step Up To Better Health Fun Run Walk
Pop quiz: What's the biggest fitness event in Greendale, with 100% of the proceeds devoted directly to Greendale schools and students?
Answer: The Step Up To Better Health Fun Run/Walk!
Every year the Greendale Step Up To Better Health Committee puts on a 5K run or 2 mile walk (your choice) through scenic Greendale, and sends all the proceeds to Greendale schools. Not only do nearly 1,000 Greendale residents walk or run, but the money Highland View raised last year alone was enough to pay for the costs of: High Interest Day, bringing the Florentine Opera to the school, bringing Trinity Irish Dancers to the school, new games for the games club, AND bringing award winning author Pat Zeitlow Miller to the school.
The school with the highest participation not only earns the most money, but also gets a HUGE trophy. Highland View has never won--let's make this our year.
A printable registration form with more information is available here: http://highlandviewptorg.blogspot.com/2014/08/register-for-fun-run.html
4) Spiritwear is still available!
Start the year in style with Highland View Spiritwear. Your student will love how they match both the Highland View take-home folder, and this year's Safe-Respectful-Responsible shirts.
Here's the link: http://www.dunnssportinggoods.net/home.php?cat=302
Remember, the best way to contact the PTO is through hv.ptorg@yahoo.com ! Have a great rest-of-summer and we'll see you at Meet Your Teacher Day!
