Our Stuff'd Pals fundraiser wraps up on Friday! Please help your student(s) enter 10 or more valid email addresses and return the GOLDEN TICKET to school tomorrow in your child's blue take-home folder for 6 awesome prizes!  

CLICK HERE TO ENTER YOUR EMAIL ADDRESSES AND HELP OUR SCHOOL.

Submit your GOLDEN TICKET ANYTIME during the fundraiser, and your student will receive their prizes.  Lost your Golden Ticket?  No worries!  Download, print, and return THIS ONE tomorrow.

Our school-wide goal is $25,000, which we can easily hit if every student raises $50!  All students who raise $50 or more will be invited to the Stuff'd Pals party, where they will select a Stuff'd Pal Reading Buddy to stuff and take home.

As of 4:30 PM on Wednesday, October 9th, we have raised $14,295!!  We can do this!!  2nd Grade is currently in the lead with $3395, but Kindergarten is close behind at $2920!  Remember that the winning grade level wins a Nightingale Ice Cream Party!!

We need your help with the Stuff'd Pals Party on Wednesday, November 6th, from 8:15-10:15 AM.  You would help students select a stuffed animal and fill it with stuffing. It's a really easy and fun job!  If you can help, please SIGN UP HERE.

We also need your help with the Nightingale Ice Cream Party.  We will pass out ice cream sandwiches to the winning grade level during their recess on Friday, November 8th.  Time is TBD, but likely mid to late morning.  If you can help, please SIGN UP HERE.

Silver level membership includes 5 free tickets to the Fall Festival on 10/18, and Gold includes 10, so be sure to join the PTA ASAP!  We are more than halfway to our goal of 1 membership per student household! It is only $7/person or $12/2 people to show your support of our school.
