NEW INFORMATION
Gifts and goods – The annual PD PTA gifts and goods sale from Charleston Wrap begins next week on Monday, September 14th. The Charleston Wrap virtual catalog has high-quality items that make great gifts. The holidays will be coming soon…get a headstart on your shopping! Please ask your friends and family if they would be interested in purchasing something. Every purchase will help and make a difference. This is an important way for our school to raise funds for the PTA. This year, we will be going completely virtual, and your purchases will be delivered directly to your homes prior to our thanksgiving break. Please look out for more information and links to view the virtual catalog in next week’s newsletter.
Room Representatives Needed – We are looking for Room Representatives for each Teacher for the 2020-21 school year! Normally, duties include recruiting volunteers for classroom parties and Art Awareness. Obviously, these duties will not be utilized until school is in person. Additionally, Room Representatives work directly with Teachers on any special need for volunteers and/or classroom communication. This is a wonderful opportunity to volunteer for the school from home! If interested, please contact Jennifer Klemz at jaklemz@gmail.com. We do our best to accommodate requests from Room Reps for specific Teachers (your child will always be a student of the specific Teacher if you are selected as Room Rep).
REMINDERS
First PTA Meeting – The first PTA meeting and New Family Welcome is scheduled for Monday, September 21st at 7:00pm and will be held outside of Pierce Downer under the tents. More details to come!
