Good Morning Parents,
I hope that everyone had a fabulous first week of school. Although it is sad to see the end of summer, it is good to get back into the swing of the school year. It is such a wonderful feeling to be part of Parkway School again. We have the best faculty and staff in Watauga County!! I wanted to remind everyone of some events that are coming up:
Don't forget to go to our webpage to find out more information about PTO and what we do. www.parkwayschoolpto.weebly.com Thank you for everything that you do, Shelley Wainscott Wallin Parkway Families,
I want to take a minute to extend a warm welcome to our returning Parkway families and our new Parkway families. I'm excited to see what this year holds for us and how we can all work together to support our students and teachers. This past year, the Parkway PTO raised over $35,000. The PTO uses a majority of this money to fulfill classroom and curriculum support requests, as well as pay tutors, provide breakfast for students during End-of-Grade testing, welcome new kindergarten families, support our school's Positive Behavior initiatives, support school trips like Sound to Sea and the gth grade trip, and show,our teachers how much we appreciate them. We spend just as much as we raise, and last year was no different. Every penny counts. Some ways that we raise funds throughout the year include Patriot Pennies, Fall Festival (Sept. 30), Valle Fair parking (Oct. 15), selling t-shirts, sign advertising, collecting Box Tops and a spring Fun Run. This year we have even more ways that you can keep up with what Parkway's PTO is doing. Haley Childers has developed a new website for our PTO. The web address is: www.parkwayschoolpto.weebly.com. This is wonderful site with lots of information about PTO and how you can get involved. Ways you can help include joining/leading a committee, signing up to volunteer on the day of our big events, bringing in a dish or supplies-or teacher appreciation meals, decorating our bulletin board, and making copies, just to name a few. No contribution is too small. Be on the lookout for a volunteer sign up from Deanne Smith, our Volunteer Coordinator ([email protected]). We also have a Facebook page where you can follow us. www.facebook.com/parkwayschoolpto We hope you will find our newsletters and emails helpful throughout the year. Anytime you have a comment or question, please don't hesitate to contact me or any board member at [email protected]. Thank you!
