From the PTO
Join the PTO....now's the time!
It's the second week of school! If you haven't already joined the PTO...now's the time! There are a few good reasons for you to join the PTO if you have not:
Reason #1. With your $20 annual membership fee, you will be granted access to our on-line BuzzBook.
Reason #2. You are supporting our PTO mission to support our teachers and students and helping to fund our annual PTO programming- ie: Family Fun Night, rollerskating, Donuts for Dudes, etc - to name a few! We need your support!
A little house-keeping...
Item #1. Your Room Parents are working on putting together class email lists to keep parents connected and informed throughout the year. Please make sure you log in to your on-line BuzzBook account at myschoolanywhere.com and update your child's teacher information. This way, YOUR child is included in the class list and YOU are included on the Room Parent communication. The deadline to update all of your BuzzBook information is Monday, September 17th.
Item #2. Are you a new family at Richards - either a new K4/K5 family or have you recently moved here? If so, make sure you contact us so we know you exist and can enter your family information into the BuzzBook. If you didn't visit the PTO table at registration or have not given your family information to your Room Parent, you need to contact us. Email us at richardsptowfb@gmail.com.
Item #3. If you have not already, "Like" Richards PTO on Facebook to stay current on what is going on!
For more information, click on the flyer link below or see the paper flyer that will come home in your child's Thursday folder today. Or at anytime, email us with questions at richardsptowfb@gmail.com.
Parent Mixer!
The PTO is hosting a Parent Mixer for all Richards Parents on Tuesday, September 25th from 7-9pm at The Bay Restaurant. Please see the below flyer for more details!
Box Tops for Education
Welcome back! It's time to start turning in the box tops you collected over the summer months! Here is some basic information for new parents and friendly reminders for all: Please send your box tops in with your child, or place them in the collection bin located outside of the school office. You can use a ziploc bag, envelope, or any old or new collection sheet. Expired box tops will not be counted, the expiration date should be visible, and cleanly clipped box tops are much appreciated. Each box top is worth $0.10, and they really add up quickly! You can double the value of each box top by downloading the box tops bonus app, and scanning your grocery receipts containing participating products. A full participating product list can be found on the box tops for education website.
All of your hard work last year earned over $1,200 for Richards School! Thank you so much, we're looking forward to another successful year! Please turn in box tops by Monday, October 29th to be included in our first submission. Any questions can be directed to your coordinators Lindy Utley, lindy.utley@yahoo.com or Kristen Pavlik, lafond19@yahoo.com.
