Don’t forget about your PTA this summer…there are small things you can do now that will help us in the fall!
1. Clean out your toy boxes and closets - We will once again host a teacher “yard sale” in the fall. How it works – donations from Aldrin families are collected and made available (free of charge) to our teachers. It’s setup like a yard sale in the cafeteria and teachers pick things they need for their classrooms. This was so popular last year – and much appreciated by the Aldrin staff!
Items needed include: toys, books, Legos, craft supplies, treasure box toys (like Happy Meal toys, party favors, etc.), board games for indoor recess, old magazines, empty baby food jars, plastic storage containers…if you think a teacher could use it, please save it for the fall yard sale. More details will be sent home after back-to-school.
2. Look into your company’s donation matching program so you’ll be ready with that information for our Direct Contribution Campaign in the fall.
3. Help your child start their 2010-11 Reflections Entry for the Reflections art contest. For more details and rules, click HERE.
4. Sign up for the PTA Newsletter. In 2010-11, the PTA will be going paperless - help us use less paper by signing up to receive e-mails instead.
5. Rest up…because we need you in 2010-11! While lounging at the pool, consider all of the wonderful opportunities available on the PTA. We still have one open board position and several open chairperson positions…one of those is waiting for your talents!
