Fundraiser

As a parent, with three children in our elementary school, the word, "fundraiser" causes my eyebrows to quirk, my mouth to twist, and my attitude to grow just a shade cynical ... I work to keep an open mind, and it does take some effort ...

The PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) was asked for support in a number of ways this year ... there were requests about replacing playground equipment ... more technology in classrooms ... replacing worn out rugs ... author's visits ... funding rewards (Roller Skating for our Reading Rodeo) ... and so much more.

They need funds to be able to meet these many needs. They will be hosting the annual carnival ... a 5K run on May 17 ... and doing a formal fundraiser through the Chippe Shoppe.

Today, the Chippe Shoppe visited Milaca Schools to introduce the event. Grades 4, 5, and 6 met in the small gym (lunchroom) to hear more.

 How many of you want to add to the playground? (I snapped the picture at the end of the question).

Walk up the playground ramp on a rainy day, and hold on to the sides carefully. It is a slippery ramp! We have over 600 students on our playground every day. It is used by the community throughout the year.

Even if this isn't the fundraiser doesn't fit your family, please consider joining in and supporting with your time and talents one of the other opportunities! Our kids are a GREAT reason to be involved!
