PTA News - February 7, 2019

FAMILY DANCE
This Bear Family Dance is this Friday night from 6-8 p.m. If you haven’t bought a ticket yet, no worries! You can buy tickets at the door. The Family Dance is always SO much fun, and the PTA has taken several steps this year to make it even more fun and Family-Friendly – including better lighting, more room on the dance floor and more dance-along tunes. You can bring in mini water bottles or bite-sized snacks on Friday. Don’t forget money for Nancy’s and popcorn. Can’t wait to see your kids CAMPed out on the dance floor!

BEAR WEAR
We are going to do one last Bear Wear order for the year. Orders are due on Friday, February 13 by 3 pm. You can print the February Bear Wear order form and send in a check. OR you can pay with a credit card and order online here.

PAPER DRIVE
Thank you to everyone who sent in reams of paper for our annual Paper Drive. More than 580 reams of paper were donated to our school. Mrs. Barton and Mr. Brown’s classes each won a doughnut party for collecting the most paper.
