Fall Fund Raiser Starts Today!!!

The Holiday Collection fund raiser starts today!  Packets will come home in your students back pack, please remember to check their bag.  There are a variety of items to choose from, great gift ideas for the holidays (and you don't even have to go to the store!), and yummy treats!  Prize brochures are included in the packets for the kids.  In order for the kiddos to qualify for a prize they only have to sell 1 item, but the more you sell  the more prizes they qualify for.  The fund raiser will go from Sept. 15th until Sept 30th.  Please make all checks out to East Antioch Elementary PTA.  Please check your order forms to make sure they are correct and complete and return all orders no later than Sept 30th.  Any orders received after Sept. 30th will not be accepted.

Room Parents Needed

We still need Room Parents for Mrs. Terlouw's 6th grade class and Mrs. Gural's 5th grade class. It is really important that we fill these spots prior to the Sept 27th Room Parent Meeting. We don't want these classes to miss out on their classroom parties! If you are able to help out please contact Juhree Swofford phone # 913-789-8312 or Email – Juhree.swofford@meadowbrook.com
