The September Newsletter has hit the "emailstands".  That doesn't really work anymore, does it?  Anyway, be sure to check out the newsletter for all the PTA news.

The most important headlines are:

Fall Fundraiser - Spirit Cups will run from September 4 - 21st.  We have gone to just two fundraisers this year so we need to make that as successful as we can.  If we all work together...no problem!

Sidewalk Chalk & Chili Cook Cook off  Chairs are still needed.  These events are fairly easy to coordinate and we would like to have one person coordinating each event so two Chairs are needed.  The events are October 5th so we needed people in place within the next week or two.  Contact Jill Molina at sonic1us@yahoo.com.

Check back every other day or so for more updates.

Welcome back, East Antioch families!  PTA is looking forward to another great school year.  This year we are bringing back some favorite events like the Chili Cook off/Sidewalk Chalk Fair, skating parties and the Carnival & Fun Run (just to name a few).  We are also bringing in two new Fundraising opportunities to help raise money for field trips and school events.

We hope to see you Sneak Peek & Ice Cream Social.  Class lists are posted outside the cafeteria.  After you find the name of this year's teacher, stop by the classroom to say hi and drop off supplies.  Then, please join us in the cafeteria for ice cream and to see old friends and meet new faces.

We will also have a table set up for you to join PTA this year.  The more parents that become involved in PTA, the more successful we can be.

See you tonight!

Donations needed for Fun Run/Carnival Silent Auction

This year we are asking each class to collect items for raffle baskets for auction at the fun run carnival. We hope this will be fun for the kids and a great way to support our school!
Grade Assignments: 6th grade: gift card basket, 5th grade: family game night/ chocolate,
4th grade: movie night, 3rd grade: summer fun, 2nd grade: garden, 1st grade: bath/body,
kindergarten: crafts

If any parents or family members have a business that could provide a silent auction item as well that would be great!

If you have any questions about donations for the silent auction please contact Liz Werner at lizwerner1@gmail.com
