The Book Fair!
Mood:  lucky

What a nice week!  We had lots of people come by the Book Fair, so I know there are lots of kids with new books!  The Breakfast Tuesday morning was very nice--Elaine Gadd did a great job!  The Open House Wednesday night was fun too--lots of pictures of Superman and Supergirl!  The Jamba Juice was appreciated too!

Wish most folks had come Wednesday, though!  There was a lot of work that went into the Superman/Supergirl pictures, but only a few got their pictures on Facebook!  I hope a lot of folks check out that facebook page!  They are cute!

Scholastic Book Fair
Mood:  bright

Our Scholastic Book Fair is coming!  The theme this year is "Heroes!  Reading to the Rescue!"  It should be a fun week full of all kinds of books, fun, crafts and surprises!  The classes have been asked to decorate their doors with a special hero.  We will have a Best Decorated Door contest, votes collected at a Wednesday evening Open House, and Mr. Steve will dress as the winning hero for a whole day! :) 

Facebook Friends!

The Kachina Country Day School PTO Facebook is up and running!  How exciting!  Some folks have found it already, so I hope the word gets around fast!  I especially look forward to being able to post pictures right after an event so everyone can remember how much fun we had!

The Scholastic Book Fair is coming fast!  There are so many hours yet to be staffed...I'm sure folks will step up pretty soon!  It should be a fun year--the theme is "Here's to our heroes!  Reading saves the Day!"  What a fun theme for the kids to focus on--so many comic book heroes, and so many more "everyday heroes" will have the chance to shine that week! 

Meet the Teacher Night
Mood:  accident prone
Meet the teacher night was fun!  I enjoy hearing how the kids are doing and what they're doing in their classes.  I wish I'd thought to take some pictures!  There were so many people there!  I hope you made it...if not, remember the teachers are very open to your calls and notes.

What a Great Start!

Wow!  We were almost full to bursting at the PTO meeting tonight!  I was so glad to see so many people!  We accomplished quite a bit, and learned a lot too.  Sonja, Secretary, has already almost finished the minutes from the meeting--she's great!--I should be able to post those in a couple of days!

We are really excited about the Book Fair--coming Sept 13th already!  I hope we have the same great turn out we had last year.  I am especially excited to learn we will be able to take pre-orders for the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid book!  The book isn't released until November, but we get to start selling it early!  What a great chance for our students to get the book as soon as possible (and benefit the school at the same time!).

Meet the Teacher night is coming Tuesday.  I look forward to meeting more parents that night as well!

The Copy Club, volunteers who will copy, laminate, cut/paste and generally help with classroom paperwork through the office.  Many people signed up at the meeting tonight--hope we get lots of participation!  What a great way for the parents to be present and see what happens "behind the scenes" :)

The web page is updated, and I am excited to start work on a Facebook page too!  I hope lots of folks are checking us out!
