Just a reminder of the events occurring in the next several weeks.
First, there will be a Dairy Queen Family Night on Wednesday, April 25th
from 5-8pm. Please come and join us for dinner and dessert and support
our school.
For those of you who ordered spring pictures, they
will be distributed by the end of the week. We apologize for the delay,
but we did receive picture orders after the deadline and opted to wait
until our order was complete to accept delivery of the pictures.
On
Sunday, April 29th we will be having a family event at Funtastic Cafe.
PTA offers educational scholarships to fifth graders for use towards
college. Money received from the event, plus any donations received,
will go towards the creation of new scholarships and the funding of the
current ones offered. Cost of entry into Funtastic Cafe is $9.99, to be
paid on Sunday, upon entrance into Funtastic Cafe and includes access to
bounce houses, obstacle courses, inflatable slides and a toddler area.
Funtastic Cafe also has a disco room, arcade games and Zippy Pet rides
at an additional charge. Parents will have access to TV's, computers and
free WIFI. For food menu and pricing please check out their website at
www.funtasticcafe.com.
The PTA will be extending its yearbook
sale until the 10th of May. Currently, we have 30 books left for
purchase. The cost of the 2011-2012 hardcover book is $40. They will be
available on a first come, first serve basis and must be purchased
directly from the PTA. Please note that the online option will not be
available after April 30th.
The last PTA meeting of the year
will be on Wednesday, May 2nd at 6pm in the cafeteria. The Recorder Club
will entertain us with their fabulous songs they have been diligently
learning and practicing. Also, there are many positions open for the
2012-2013 PTA Board. Jaime Romano will be the 2012-2013 President and
Jill Frederick is returning as Treasurer. We must have at least 3
parent, non-school board employee, board members for there to be a PTA,
so please consider giving of your time and volunteering for a position.
Nominations will be taken from the floor the night of the meeting. SAF
will also hold its monthly meeting jointly with PTA.
Our last
Family Show will be on Friday, May 4th, at 6pm in the cafeteria. We will
be treated to a performance by Didgeridoo Down Under
(http://www.didgrevolution.com/), a high-energy Australian-themed show
that combines music, character building, anti-bullying, education,
motivation and entertainment. The cost of entry will be $5 per person
and includes admission to the show, 2 slices of pizza, a drink, and a
bag of chips. We will also have some carnival games and cotton candy
available before the show. The doors will open at 5pm as access to the
carnival games and the cotton candy will be curtailed shortly before the
show begins. Flyers were sent home on Tuesday. If you did not receive
one, please email us at tamaracelementarypta@hotmail.com and we will get
one to you. Please note, the deadline to purchase tickets is May 2nd.
Tickets will also be sold at the door, but are on a first come, first
serve basis.
The very last PTA Family Night event will be May 22nd, at Dairy Queen, from 5-8pm. We hope you will join us.
