Hello,

Just a reminder that PTO nominations will be held this Wed. Morning. If you are interested, or know a parent that might be, please consider running for a PTO board position. The PTO board positions are President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. Each of these positions has been held as a co-position in the past and can be again.

The time commitment is not huge. Meetings take place once a month and duties are divided amongst members. The goal of the PTO is to support the Drummond community. There are already yearly events planned and implemented with reports and outlines avail. Some of these include: Rock the Block, Drummond Cooks, Teacher Appreciation, T-shirt sales, Family Reading Night, End of the Year Picnic and Buddy Families. However, there is room for change too. It is a great way to meet the larger Drummond community, make friends, support the school staff and kids, and create memories!

9:00 am room to be announced

The afterschool committee wants your feedback!   The annual afterschool committee survey will be available during Report Card Pick Up. Your feedback is an essential part in the solution to provide quality, meaningful and affordable after school activities. Labtops will be available on each floor for parents to complete an electronic version of the survey. Hard copies will be available as well.   You may also click http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/FD5GTY7 to take the survey.

Thanks!

School’s out registration 2012 April

YMCA School’s Out_April

School’s out? No worries! The Y’s Open on Wed 4/18.

Drop off as early at 7 am and pick up no later than 6pm.

Ms. Steiger is looking for some help on TUE- for a little shelving intervention….

So I’m reaching out to ask some parents to think about coming in!! The mid grade non fiction shelves need some major work and Ms. Steiger won’t have kids in the library all morning.

Small people welcome. Coffee and something to munch will be there too.

We would be re-shelving the non fiction shelves together.  I’d match you with a delightful partner and give each team one little pleasant lovely manageable section of shelf to demo out and replace!

Let me know if you might have some time. It would be from drop-off to about 11 or just how long you might be able to stay! > >

Smaller siblings welcome. Stay or go as long as you might have time. >  Feel free to bring a friend . > > Thanks for even considering it….. > >

We are still looking for items- health and wellness, beauty and kids entertainment are most needed.
