NEW INFORMATION
 
PTA Meeting and Volunteer Luncheon – Please join us at RBK at 12:00pm THIS FRIDAY! 

This is open to ALL parents who have served in ANY volunteer capacity during the course of the year. The PTA can not provide the breadth of programs without the financial support and volunteer support from our community.
We will be approving the PTA board slate for next year and other year end business. We will also be looking to approve two important budget items for the upcoming school year:
  1. Funding of a portable PA/Speaker System at the request of Mrs. Collins.
  2. Funding of “Welcome to Pierce Downer” signs to include ALL new students to the school, instead of just new families.
Please plan on attending the PTA Luncheon if you wish to vote on these agenda items.

 All are welcome and the cost is $5.50 per person. Please sign up here if you are able to come!



Summer Math Club Volunteer Needed-  Lisa Ordway has graciously volunteered to chair this program at our school for one final summer.  Thank you, Lisa!  We would love to have someone new co-chair with her this summer- in order to make a smooth transition for next year.  Please see the attachment for the job description/responsibilities.  If you’re interested in helping out, please contact Lisa Ordway at lisaordway1@gmail.com.

 
Thank you to Vikki Jacknow for organizing Teacher Appreciation Week! And thank you to all of the families that participated! The PD teachers and staff really felt special and we appreciate all of you who generously donated your time, talents and gifts.
