We need help for the Holiday Shop!

We are in need of volunteers for the Holiday Gift Shop on Dec 1-5th. This event is sponsored by the PTA so the students have an opportunity to buy small holiday gifts for their family. Even if you can only volunteer for a few hours we would appreciate your help. Please email or call if you can give us some of your time.

No Time? We understand...

We all know it can be difficult to find the time to volunteer and help out the way you'd like to. And until we can figure out a way to add a few more hours to our days, here a few simple ways you can help the PTA without giving up your time:

Turn in your used ink cartridges to the PTA. Send them in to the office (in a plastic bag if they are leaking please!) and we will get them to recycle. The PTA gets money for turning them in so if you normally throw them out please send them our way! (And a big THANK YOU to the incredibly dedicated mom who takes care of turning these in for us! We appreciate it so much!)

Sign up at Box Tops for Education at http://www.boxtopsforeducation.com/ They almost always have a contest going on for schools to win extra boxtops. Right now Betty Crocker has a contest to win 10,000 extra boxtops! You can enter once a day, so if you are online anyhow, pop over to the website and enter for Thorp. (And of course keeping sending in your boxtops to school... this year we are doing awesome turning them in!)

thanks for helping!

Thank You!!

I have to say thank you to everyone who made today such an incredible success!! The teacher's luncheon was AMAZING!! Huge thank you's to everyone who donated something for the event. I heard so many wonderful comments from the staff...

And thank you to the parents who donated the gym wear that was sold today. The sale was such a success that we will be collecting clothes again to have another sale in the Spring! If you want to donate clothes at any time of the year just send them to the school office and the PTA will get them.

And I have to give a huge thank you to all the officers and chairpeople of the PTA this year... You all are so awesome to work with. I have loved getting to know all you better this year and I have a great time working with all of you... so thank you, thank you...

So back to school tomorrow : )

Market Day Orders Due Thursday

If you want to order from Market Day, forms are due at school on Thursday. If you want to order online you have until noon on November 3rd. If you aren't familiar with ordering online you can place your order and choose to pay at the sale instead of using your credit card online. (Our school number is 6360). This month they are featuring desserts for the upcoming holidays. Pick up for items is November 6th between 5:45pm and 6:30pm. And, of course, volunteers are always invited!
