The PTO function is a support organization
for the students and staff of the intermediate schools. Last year,
through fund raising, they provided recess equipment, supplies for
classrooms, and AR rewards. They also raised funds for an outdoor
classroom area for classes to use during the school year. PTO also
provides room parents who organize all of the holiday activities.
Their support is deeply appreciated by the Challenger and Discovery
Intermediate Schools.

This is my last newsletter as a parent on the Challenger/Discovery
PTO. I wish I could put into words how much fun it
has been to work with other parents and with our great teachers
on activities for our children. If you would be interested
in working on the newsletter and would like more information, please
give me a call at 721-1584. Thanks … Deb
Jamieson
ALERT!
Most
of the officers this year are parents of 6th grade students and they
will not be here next year. The PTO makes decisions and coordinates
volunteers for school skating parties, class parties, lunches for
teachers during Parent/Teacher Conferences, school pictures, Field
Day, Kid’s
Appreciation Day, 6th Grade Promotion, book fairs, and MORE. The
PTO also organizes school fundraisers like our school basketball
game this year. This money is used for items like interactive
clicker systems for the classrooms.
Without volunteers, the PTO will cease to exist, so
PLEASE consider volunteering. Our final meeting for this school
year will be on May 9th. We need to have volunteers in place
for the board for the beginning of the school year. If you
would like more information, please either attend the meeting on
the 9th or call any board member. Thank
You!
Volunteers Needed
PTO Officers
We are still looking for parents to volunteer
to be PTO officers. If
you would be willing to participate, please call any board member
for information.
Field Day Volunteers
Needed
Field Day will be held for our 5th graders on May 16 and for
our 6th graders on May 17.
We need 30 volunteers each morning from 8:30 to 10:30 and 14 volunteers
from 12:30 to 2:30 in the afternoon.
If you would be willing to help,
please contact either Susan DeLap at 721-1521 or Norma Jean Vap at
794-2825.
This is a fun day for the students and for the volunteers. If
you can work just 2 hours, we need you!!!
We Need You!!
If you would like to help with next year’s basketball game,
work with volunteers, take minutes of the meetings, or do the monthly
newsletter, now’s the time to volunteer. We need you,
and it’s also a lot of fun!!
Thank You!
Book ‘em!!!
Thank you to all of our great volunteers who staffed the book fair,
and to all the parents and students who came out and supported the
book fair. It was a great success raising over $4,000 for our
school libraries.
