PTO hosts the school skating parties for our school. However, PTO, Carousel Skate Center, nor the school is responsible for supervising your child at Carousel Skate Center. Your child is your responsibility if your child attends the FAMILY Skating Parties. If you are not able to attend, your child must be with another family willing to accept responsibility for your child.
NO CHILD IS TO BE DROPPED OFF AND LEFT
AT THE SKATE CENTER WITHOUT ADULT SUPERVISION
PTO and their families are there to have fun and enjoy their family time together. Please plan on joining the fun. Bring your children . . . STAY . . . Visit . . . Skate . . . Laugh . . . . It is Carousel Skate Center’s right, and it is their practice, to call the police if a child is left unsupervised at the end of a skating party. Thank you for your cooperation and for helping to keep our children safe.

Our next contest ends on December 16th so keep sending in your Boxtops & Tyson Project A+ labels, every little bit helps! Each boxtop is worth 10 cents & Tyson labels are 24 cents. Last year we collected almost $2000!!! So donít throw free money in the trash - send them to school Our contest dates are:
Please make sure you leave dates on box tops when cutting or tearing them off. They must be intact & not expired for them to count. The Tyson A+ labels are the entire tear off strip for bags & end flap from box items (only ones that say Project A+). You may also send in Campbell soup labels (the UPC & Logo on back). These do not count in your class totals because our school does not save these at this time, but other Goddard schools do, so we share with them. Please check out the websites for these companies for lots of other saving & contest opportunities. Contact me if you have any questions. Thank you for supporting Box Tops for Education, it's free money that otherwise ends up in the trashcan!!! |
