PTO NOTES & NEWS FOR APRIL 2013
There was much discussion about the TRAFFIC ISSUE
IN THE CIRCLE. One issue being that
nobody is allowed to stop in the fire lane the other is how to effectively and
safely manage traffic in the circle during drop-off and pick-up. Lots of ideas were discussed and the
principals will be considering them and looking for a viable solution.
The DYNAMIC DATES fundraiser made $1494! Thanks to everyone who participated and
congratulations to the winners of the fabulous dates!
The HANNAFORD HELPS SCHOOLS program brought in
$666.
The FLOWER POWER FUNDRAISER is happening now. You should have received a brochure from your
youngest child. If not and would like
one please contact Randy Sweeney (sweeneyrs@gmail.com). Orders are due by April 15.
