Welcome Back Stars! I hope you all have had a great start to the school year. The PTO has been blown away by the support of our families. We kicked off school with record setting participation in Chalk the Walk, smiling faces at Crumbl spirit night, and over 150 dads joined together at All Pro Dads! Our first volunteers this year helped with the 1st, 3rd and 5th grade Hearing & Vision screening. It has been great to see everyone come together as our SBE Community! 

Annually, the PTO raises funds to bridge the gap between what the country provides and what our SBE teachers would like to have for educational enrichment as well as funding the PTO programs and events. We raise these funds through our annual Membership Donation campaign. Thank you to those families that have already joined. Due to your generous donations, we are at about 65% of our $23,000 financial goal. The campaign ends September 2nd. Donations start at $5. Your membership donation contributes to the classroom participation prizes. Will you help your child's class win a popcorn party or time in the Fall Festival bounce houses? 

August 31st is the last day to order spirit wear. Every Friday is Spirit Wear Friday! We love seeing all our Stars shining bright and showing their school spirit.

We will hold our in-person general meeting at curriculum night on both August 29 and 30. We will share our plans for this school year along with our annual budget and a virtual vote on the budget to follow.

We have several events coming up in September: We hope you join us!

• Sept 1: New Families Breakfast - brand new families to SBE will receive an invitation from Mrs. Von Esh to join us for a coffee talk to ask any questions you may have.
• Sept 9: All Pro Dads - light breakfast and character building
• Sept 16: Fall Festival - bounce houses, rock wall, cake walk
• Sept 22: Spirit Night - details TBD
• Sept 23: Community Rewards enrollment contest - drawing for a $50 gift card

To ensure you get details on all our upcoming events, make sure you are following us on social media and have created an account on our website.

Sincerely,

Looking for any easy way volunteer and get involved at school? We would love for you to join us once a month to give the teachers a break at the morning car rider line. We take their place opening car doors and greeting the children as they get dropped off for school. 

You will need to arrive by 7 am and sign in with Gina at the front desk (your kids may come with you and then at 7:10 am when we go outside to start the car pool line, they can head to their classroom). Car rider line ends when the bell rings at 7:40 am. 

The first volunteer opportunity is Friday, September 2.

IMPORTANT:  Please RSVP with the first and last name on your state issued Driver's License or Identification Card.
