We are gearing up for our STEM Night for this year. Please put your name and email address in Ms. Odukoya's box if you can volunteer. If you can't get by the office, you can email her at [email protected]. or you can email Ms.. Morrison at [email protected]. We'd really like for the PTA to be represented well :)

******************************************************

Good Morning to our wonderful PTA!

We have been working hard in planning our STEM Night for this year. It will take place on May 29, 2013 from 5:00pm-7:00pm. I wanted to reach out and share a couple of ways that the PTA can get involved this year!

1. Volunteer- If there are any parents that are willing to assist with clean up or setting up/ breaking down of the tables and chairs for the event please let me know!

2. Refreshments- We welcome the idea of the PTA selling/donating refreshments for the event. We'd like to keep it simple so that clean up will be easy!

3. Sign In- If there are any parents that are willing to assist with signing all students, parents, community members, and STEM partners in that night, we could definitely use your help!

4. Parents- We would like our parent turn out to be even greater than before, so please spread the word about STEM Night. WE NEED YOUR HELP TO GET MORE PARENTS TO COME!

5. Teacher Assistance- All of our teachers will be facilitating activities that the students will learn from.. Feel free to ask your child's teacher if you can assist them in any way.

* We are also searching for one of those canopy/tents for an outside activity involving the robots the middle school students have been building.

The goal is to make each STEM Night better than the last one! Thank you for all of your support!
