How is September more than half over?

Happy Thursday

Fall Flower pick up is today from 3:00 - 7:00.  If you are unable to make it please email jaschoolpto@gmail.com as soon as possible.

Thank you to everyone who came out to Open House last night and an extra special thanks to those who stopped by to visit the PTO in the Cafe.  We have an exciting year of Making Memories ahead of us and we can't wait to make them with you. 

Direct Donation Campaign!  

You heard it right.  We are trying a new approach to fundraising based on the feedback we have heard from JA families throughout the year.   If this is successful it will replace magazine, catalog and other direct sale fundraisers which have made up 38% of the PTO budget.  Donations are tax-deductible and 100% goes straight to our kids.  In addition, if your employer offers a company match this donation is eligible.  We will still provide services like fall and winter plants but if all goes as planned there is no selling needed on your part.  More information will be presented at our first PTO meeting October 2nd and via information that will be sent home.  Donations can be made via check made payable to the JA PTO or via our paypal link here.

Classroom Directory/ Volunteer Form

Now is the time to get your classroom directory forms in.  Paper versions will be going home this week but you can fill it out online by clicking here.  This information shared voluntarily will be shared with the others in your child's class to assist with playdates, homework assignments or just keeping in touch.  We hope you find this service helpful.  We expect directories to go home via backpacks to those who filled them out mid-October. 

JA Night at Roll On America is back and the first one is this Friday night!!  We hope to see you there!!!
