Thanks to everyone who attended our first meeting of the year last night. Here are some highlights of what we discussed:
+ Megan Stevens was elected as our President for this year. Congratulations Megan!
+ In the Box Top Challenge, the University of Iowa won. The Box Tops collected will earn the PTO around $250 when submitted. There will be another challenge this fall between the classrooms, so save up your Box Tops.
+Samuelson PTO also collects: Labels for Education (Campbells Soup, Goldfish Crackers, etc), Tyson Project A+ Labels and used printer cartridges & old cellphones. Simply send these items into the school office. Thanks!
+A blue note was sent home on Tuesday with information on our participation in the Beaverdale Fall Parade. More details will come home Thursday once our place in the line-up is known.
