Build Days:
We are looking for volunteers.
We will be working: May 17 & 18 as well as May 31 & June 1. Even
stopping by for a few hours will be a big help.
In addition, we are hoping someone has a wet saw (that can cut pavers) that
we could borrow for either/both weekend(s).
We could still use a some more food donations. In particular we could use
pizza, grinders, bagels, fruit, Box of Joe or cash donations to pay for
breakfast/lunch items.

We
are rapidly approaching the end of the school year, and the PTO needs to
begin planning for next year! As happens every spring, we realize how many
dedicated PTO parents we have who are moving on as their 5th grade children
go on to middle school, and we must work to fill in the gaps they leave
behind. We have vacancies on both the board and several important committees.
Agenda for the May
13 PTO meeting.
Elections for the 2008-09 PTO Board will be held during the PTO meeting
on May 13th.

The
banking program is about to start up for the school year. The students open
their own passbook savings account at Rockville Bank, and they can then
drop off their deposits at the school. The deposits are picked up every
Monday and the PTO's banking committee will deliver them to the bank and
return the passbooks later in the week. The first pick up day, for students
who already have an account, will be September 24th. Rockville Bank will
have representatives on hand at the November Book Fair so new students can
sign up. For more information, please email Jennifer Werner at: Jennifer_Werner@sbcglobal.net
