PTCO Fundraiser!!
Our "Get Out of Fundraising" donation drive is underway! Instead of selling "stuff" door-to-door as many elementary schools do, we hold a monetary donation drive every year. The recommended amount of $50 per student goes toward funding different programs and technology for the school.  Look for more detailed information coming home in Friday folders.

We will also be having our Friday Fun Days again this year! For a donation of $1 (or more!), your child can participate in fun events every Friday.  Here is what is planned for this year:

Sept 6 - Hat Day / Crazy Hair Day

Sept 13 - Pajama Day or Team Jersey Day
Sept 20 - Backwards Day (wear your clothes backwards)
Sept 27 - No Matching Day (wear anything mismatched)
Oct 4 - Popcorn Day (purchase popcorn and eat in the classroom)
Oct 11 - Mustache Day

The class that donates the most will win the first Coyote Cup!
