PTO Thank Yous

Thank you to all the parents who donated cookies for the Christmas Concert last night!  Such a great variety of sweet treats:) 

PTO is still searching for the parent who has been donating gluten free bars/cookies as we have many request for the recipe.  If you are this parent or know this parent, please have them call Jaimie at 309-212-6257.

Thank you to the many parents that supported the October SIP lunch with your donations!  The lunch has become a staff favorite and very much appreciated!

A BIG thank you to every student, parent, family, neighbor and staff who supported our 2012 Fall Magazine Fundraiser.  The effort given by many students to just sell 1 order helped raise our participation from 43% last year to 51% this year!!  We were able to raise over $9,000 more than last year's total and exceed our goal again!  Every student that sold 1 magazine was eligible to attend a movie (principal's choice) and were treated to popcorn and water. What a blessing to be a part of such a wonderfully supportive community.  Thank you

Some of the funds raised have been approved for adding concrete to the existing tether ball areas on the playground.  As well as, the addition of 2 new complete tether ball areas!  

PTO also approved the reimbursement to EMS of the cost of the summer make over of the new teacher's lounge.  The make over itself was handled by Mrs. Bardwell who did a fabulous job!
