PTO Meeting Tomorrow!!
Please join us tomorrow, Tuesday, 10/1, at 6:30 pm in the Media Center for our monthly PTO meeting. This meeting brings us a special guest speaker -- Lt. Patrick Strausbaugh from the Deerfield Fire Department. He will be discussing fire safety and provide a special demonstration on how to use a fire extinguisher. We hope to see you there!Box Top Collection -- Through October 28th
It's time for our first of three Box Top Collection Drives!! The PTO is sponsoring a contest to see which class can collect the most Box Tops from now until October 28. The class with the most Box Tops collected will receive a mini-carnival (complete with bounce houses!) and that class's teacher will receive a $25 gift card.It is so easy to help! Just clip out the Box Top label off of participating products and either glue to the sheet sent home in the Friday folders or you can just collect them in zip loc bags. Please be sure that the bags or the sheet contain your child's name and their teacher's name. Last year, we raised $2299 with this program -- let's beat that goal this year!!
Mileage Club
Time to get some exercise during recess! Our fall session of the Mileage Club is starting on Wednesday, October 2nd. Children will have the opportunity to walk or run around the "official" path during recess -- for each lap they complete, they will receive chances to earn tokens and perhaps win a bike!Mileage Club is always looking for adult volunteers. If you are interested, please contact Kim Renzenbrink at skrenz@msn.com.
Many Thanks!
- Our annual Walk-A-Thon was completed last Friday afternoon. All had a wonderful time and it was such a lovely day to be out getting fresh air while raising money for the PTO! A special thanks to Jennifer Adams, Erin Deutsch and all of the parent volunteers who worked to make this event a success. As a reminder, there will be a KME Skate Night at Skatetown USA on October 9 from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm -- the admission is free for all KME students!!
- This week, all Kings Mills Elementary students participated in the Crystal Clear Science Program “The Science of Everyday Life”. With the help of Kings high school volunteers and the program facilitators, the children got to observe experiments using everyday household materials – from kitchen ingredients to car parts! Thanks to Jenny Circello and our PTO Program Committee for planning these fun and educational events.
Reminders
