Volunteer Opportunity: Do you have an hour (or more) to spare on September 7, beginning at 1PM?8/28/2018
Dear Parkway Families,
Have a few days passed without an opportunity to do a random act of kindness? Are you craving a chance to support your community? Have no fear, Parkway School PTO is here to help! We need a few more volunteers to slap on a neon vest on Friday, September 7 and be part of an amazing community event, the Blue Ridge Relay. There are 8-hours-worth-of shifts available through PTO (donate 1 hour or give us all 8!). We especially need help from 1:00-2:15pm. Sign up now to help monitor the runners at a local transition point with a few close pals, and complete your good deed! We will feel your kindness profoundly, and you'll be (almost single handedly) responsible for helping raise hundreds of dollars for our teachers and their classrooms. What a way to start the school year! Thanks for considering this opportunity; we have our fingers crossed that your volunteer form will be rolling in momentarily! Dear Parkway Families,
I hope that everyone is having a great first week of school and is excited to be (back) at Parkway! My name is Haley Childers, and it's my pleasure to serve as PTO co-President this year. Our PTO leadership team (HIGH FIVE THEM IF YOU KNOW THEM: co-President Heidi Hodges; VP Kristine Martin; Secretary Melinda Reeves; Treasurer Clayton Christian; Volunteer Coordinator Athalia Whitworth; Rewards Program Coordinator Shannon Burroughs; Teacher Appreciation Chair Jenny McCourry; and Committee Chairs Keli Gajewski, Tony Grant, Lynn Griffeth, Rebecca Liljestrand, Ken Murray, Travis Critcher and Andrew Miller) is full of diverse talent and energy and well wishes for your student's best Parkway year yet! To maintain this highly productive organization (all PTO funds, nearly $30,000 each year, go right back into our children's classrooms), PTO needs YOU! Here's what you can do now:
But wait, there's more! BOO-HOO / YA-HOO Breakfast KINDERGARTEN MOMS, DADS + GUARDIANS: In case no one told you, babies don't keep. Tomorrow (Friday, Aug. 24), from 8:00-8:30 a.m., meet your fellow kindergarten community in the cafeteria for a light breakfast of Local Lion donuts, fruit and juice, and celebrate of our newest Parkway "big boys and big girls." Spoiler alert: kindergarten students won't attend the breakfast, but we'll be thinking about them, anyway! Wrapping this up... In the coming weeks you'll hear more from the PTO about the above mentioned opportunities. Thanks for taking us up on whatever your interests, talents, and schedules allow for! Forward this message to your friends and ask them to sign up for these emails on our website. And, of course, our obligatory "Check us out on Facebook" signature follows. I hope to see you soon; here's to your student's best year yet! -- Parkway School PTO https://www.facebook.com/ParkwaySchoolPTO http://parkwayschoolpto.weebly.com/ |
