KME PTO Blog Blast 10/14/2013

Check here to see the latest in PTO happenings!!

Movie Knight


Our first Movie Knight is coming up on Friday, October 25 starting at 6:15 pm! We will be screening "Hotel Transylvania" in the cafeteria. There is a charge of $5 per student and this includes a piece of pizza, popcorn and a drink. Each child is required to have an adult chaperon -- there is not an additional charge for family members to attend the movie but you can pay $10 to receive a piece of pizza, popcorn and a drink for a family of 4. Also, there will be a bake sale and additional concessions for sale.

To keep with our Halloween theme, your child may wear their Halloween costume (this is not required). The registration form (due by Wednesday 10/23) has been sent home plus you can locate this form on our blog under "Events/Fundraisers".

Box Top Collections -- Through October 28


Keep sending in those Box Tops!! Our number keeps growing and check out the PTO bulletin board this week to see who's class is in the lead! Please send in your Box Tops through October 28 so that your child's classroom can be the potential winner of a mini-carnival and your teacher can win a $25 gift card!!

More information about this can be found in the "Events/Fundraisers" tab on our blog.

Mileage Club


Our fall Mileage Club session continues to "move" during recess on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. All students can participate and have the chance to earn fun tokens and perhaps win a bike! Please remember to have your children wear appropriate shoes on these days. If you are interested in helping with Mileage Club, please contact Kim Renzenbrink at skrenz@msn.com.


Fall Parties


Our annual fall classroom parties will be held on Friday, October 25 from 2:30 pm to 3:15 pm. You will be contacted by your child's classroom parent with more information regarding the parties, including ways that you can assist. Please keep in mind that many of our KME students have food allergies so please work with the teacher to ensure that any treats are healthy and safe for all.

Pink on Wednesday 


Wear "pink" on Wednesday, October 16 to support Mrs. Strosnider, a KME teacher who will be participating in a three-day, sixty mile walk that will raise funds to find a cure for breast cancer. Let's show our support!!
