Welcome To a New School Year & New PTO!

Wow! Can you believe it is already August? It has it been a great summer and the USS/SS PTO has been busy preparing to make it a very special school year. We have tons planned for the upcoming school year and want all parents/guardians/relatives to be a part of PTO! Look for us at school events, stop by to say hello, and please sign up to receive emails from our PTO to keep abreast of all the happenings at Union Sanborn and Southwick.
The USS/SS PTO is still looking to fill the following positions for the 09-10 school year:

• Volunteer Coordinator for USS
• Box Top Coordinator for Southwick
• We are also looking for parent(s) who are interested in updating the PTO bulletin boards at each school on a monthly basis. This would consist of promoting whatever is going on for the month and may be themed throughout the year. The more creative, the better! If you can help with 1 month or all 10 months, we appreciate the help!

The USS/SS PTO is pleased to announce that Union Sanborn School has been selected by BJ's for the "Adopt-a-School" program. Watch for special events sponsored by BJ's. We are possibly looking at a gift wrapping event this coming holiday season just for starters. Last year, Southwick enjoyed being the adopted school and we look forward to another rewarding year with BJ's and USS. Thank you BJ's!
