The Aldrin ES Annual Family Fun Dance/Raffle is quickly approaching – mark your calendar for March 9.
Every year at the event, we raffle off gift baskets contributed by each classroom or grade level. Baskets in the past have include items such as iPads, iPods, XBox/Wii, handheld electronics, bikes, Legos, and American Girl dolls. Room parents will purchase items for their baskets using monetary donations collected from the families in their class.
Our event is quickly approaching, so we want to give you a head’s up so you can act quickly! Please watch for a flyer/e-mail from your class room parent with details of what your class is contributing and who to send your monetary donation to. To ensure that your donation reaches the room parent, please enclose your check in a sealed envelope and clearly mark it with your room parent’s name and your class/grade. Participation is voluntary and not a requirement. The suggested donation is $10 – $15 per family, but any amount you feel comfortable with is appreciated in support of our school.
If you have any questions about what your class is donating or how to donate, please contact your class room parent. There is a complete listing of room parents in the school directory you received in November if you do not know the name of your room parent.
Please remember – this is a major fundraiser for our school and all proceeds help our PTA provide events and services for our children. Thank you for your support!
February 16, 2012 from 6:30-8:30 pm at Aldrin!

Registration is online at www.sportability.com/aldrin and will remain open until Jan. 14th. Over 50 students already registered in the first day so don’t delay as classes fill up quickly! This session also has class offerings for kindergarten students with two classes designed especially for them. Students requesting financial scholarships should contact their Aldrin student counselor or specialist for assistance with this or contact Cheryl Whitt, the After School Program Coordinator, directly at whitt.cheryl@gmail.com.
Remember, registration ends Saturday, January 14, so don’t delay!
NOTE: We Do Robotics only has 1 space left as of Sunday morning. If your child was interested in this class, please consider 3-D Lego Design or Mighty Builders as an alternative as there are still spots available in those classes!
The drop down menu for grades/teachers has been modified and now includes Kindergarten. Thank you to everyone who brought that to my attention.

Congratulations to the 12 girls who participated in the recent 5 K representing Aldrin Elementary! They all worked hard and did an awesome job!
Volunteers needed to run the program next season!
Practice is twice a week for 1-1 1/4 hrs either before or after school. Days / times TBD by the school administration & coaching team. Coaches need to be available from March – May. The GOTR Nova 5K race will be in May.
Girls on the Run is more than just a running program!
Girls on the Run inspires 3rd – 5th grade girls to stay true to themselves and live free from societal stereotypes. This 10 week before/after school curriculum innovatively weaves training for a 5K run with lessons that empower girls to celebrate their bodies, honor their voices and embrace their gifts.
Want to be a part of something life-changing? Please contact our school’s Girls on the Run Liaison, Jackie Gregory, atjackiegregory1@verizon.net.

The Aldrin Elementary PTA is excited to let you know about its Grandparents’ Club – just in time for this holiday season! We would like to honor grandparents who support their grandchildrens’ education! We invite grandparents everywhere to join the Aldrin PTA Grandparents’ Club and help fill the map. Our goal is to have Grandparents’ Club members from all 50 states!
Why?
Because grandparents are an important part of a child’s life. Aldrin Elementary has MANY wonderful grandparents that do a lot for the Aldrin community and its children.
What does being a member mean?
Being a member of the Aldrin PTA Grandparents’ Club is a simple way to show your support, not only to your grandchild, but to all the kids of Aldrin Elementary. Your donations help keep the PTA moving by providing funds for important projects both in and out of the classroom.
This is your way to know firsthand what your Grandchild/ren are doing in school and what activities are happening. Would you personally like to be more involved or informed? You’ll be among the first to know of opportunities to participate in activities with your Grandchild/ren or sign up to volunteer (it’s not just for parents you know!).
Click HERE for a signup form! For more information, please contact Deborah Tran at detran2@msn.com or Lisa Satterfield at ljsatterfield@gmail.com.

In our ongoing efforts to maintain the landscaping around the school, we are looking for volunteers to help us plant flowers and other gardening on Saturday, November 12th from 9-11. We are asking all volunteers to bring their labeled gardening tools (shovels) so we have enough supplies. If you are able to help, please contact Kim Douglas at kim.douglas1@verizon.net.
