PTO October Highlights

Genevieve's Fall Fundraiser

WOW! I can’t even begin to
express the excitement the
PTO Board shares with all of
you parents!
As the Fall Fundraiser run by
Lynn Long came to a close on
September 30, we were hesitant
to guess the outcome. I
am glad we didn’t because…
your dedication, commitment
and drive to sell for the benefit
of our schools shined high this
year.
With the economy down and
the courage to ask friends and
family to make fundraiser
purchases is intimidating at
best , BUT your work prevailed.
Thank you Students and Parents
of the 2009 PTO Fall
Fundraiser, you raised more
than $7500!
THANK YOU ALL!
A special thanks to Lynn Long,
as she was the lead coordinator
of the 2009 Fall Fundraiser.
The coordination for this effort
began last Spring before
school was even dismissed!
THANK YOU LYNN we could
not have done it with out you!

1st Annual Family Fun Fall Festival

The crowds came in droves, it
would be a guess to say that
more than 400 people came
out this beautiful sunny fall
afternoon.
The Hay Rides were full and
plentiful, the bouncy house
was stuffed to the brim and the
Bake Sale (thank you to 15
different moms that baked!)
came close to selling out.
Many children enjoyed face
painting while munching on
popcorn, while others smiled
as they took their freshly
painted pumpkins over to
show off to their parents.
It was our goal to keep this
event free to families offering
all activities at no charge. Successfully
with the help of over
15 local businesses we were
able to do just that. For many
did buy baked yummies, and
a lucky father took home $65 from the
50/50 raffle. The PTO is proud to announce
that with no intention, we raised close to
$300 at this event.
Thank you all for coming, baking, playing
and smiling at this years event. We plan to
take these wonderful proceeds and invest
it into the 2nd Annual Family Fun Fall Festival
for 2010!
