THANK YOU PTO

UNIQUE ASSEMBLY

We are so lucky to have such wonderful, supportive and generous members of the Elizabeth Ide PTO. They spend so many hours helping the staff and students enrich our educational and social programs. Last Friday, the PTO treated the students to a "Unique Assembly". At this assembly students were put into teams and asked questions from our very own curriculum, that's what makes it unique :), questions about current events and pop culture, as well as having to perform some physical challenges. It was very exciting and the students absolutely enjoyed themselves.


TEACHER APPRECIATION

This week the PTO has supplied wonderful lunches for the staff of our school for teacher appreciation. A BIG Thank You goes out to everyone who sent in the delectable goodies. We have truly enjoyed each and every lunch and have gained at least 5 pounds apiece!

APRIL POSITIVE PAWS

Friday, May 7th the PTO has scheduled an Author Assembly for the students. This author writes books in a series called USA Dogs. He has written about racing greyhounds, therapy dogs and search and rescue dogs. He will be bringing his Greyhound, Honey, with for the assembly. As a special treat he has offered to eat lunch with the students to discuss his books. To choose the students, we picked 16 PAWS instead of 6 for the month of April and those students will get to eat lunch with the author.

The lucky winners are: Abbie S., James R., Jacob S., AJ F., Sadie M., Jake D., Tony T., Kathan A., Jacob P., Claire V., Kate S., Lucas G., Lily V., Dana K., Sydney R. and Brett K.

Congratulations :) I'll post a picture on Friday!
