WELCOME BACK KESSLER EAGLES! AUGUST 2014
We are so excited for the upcoming school
year! The PTO has a lot of awesome plans for
the students here at Kessler Elementary, but
we need your help! The PTO is always
looking for volunteers to help coordinate our
activities. Without amazing parent
volunteers like you, we wouldn’t be able to
do the things that we do. Please contact any
of the board members via email to find out
what opportunities are available:

President: Linda Cotton
Vice President: Chelsea Nash
Fundraiser Coordinator: Mignon McClure
**If you have interest in being on the PTO
baord, we are in need of a Treasurer and
Secretary!
FALL BOOK FAIR
The fall book fair will be September 15-19.
This year we will have an online fair as well.
Parents can order books during September
10-30, and the proceeds will go to Kessler.
Anything that is ordered will be shipped to
the school and handed out to the student’s
teacher.

POPCORN FRIDAY
We will be doing Popcorn Friday’s
again this year! Our first scheduled
date will be August 22. A form will
be sent home with your student at
the beginning of the week, and
money will be due on a scheduled
date before popcorn is distributed.
The price will be 50 cents a bag,
and it will be given to the student
at the end of the day. No money
will be accepted on the day
popcorn is distributed.
PICTURE DAY
Fall pictures will take place on
Wednesday, October 1. Money will
be due in advance. More
information will be coming home in
the near future, so be on the
lookout!
BOX TOPS
We are in need of box tops! We will
be having a competition between
classes to see who can collect the
most box tops each grading period.
Box tops are a main source of
income for the PTO, so we ask that
everyone participates. Please turn
in any collected box tops to your
student’s teacher. Many companies
are offering double box tops for a
limited time, so start clipping!
POST YARD SALE
Kessler Elementary PTO will be
participating in the next post-wide
yard sale. The date will be on
October 4. If you have any new or
gently used items that you would
like to donate to be sold, please
contact the PTO. All proceeds will
go to the PTO to help fund events
for students. Setup will be at the
school, so make sure to stop by and
buy something! More information
will come at a later date.
FUN RUN
We will be having a fun run on
October 9. This will be a way to
raise money, as well as help get
kids moving! Students will solicit
pledges of financial support from
friends, family, neighbors, etc.
Then they will participate in a
monitored running event. After the
run, students will collect donations
based on their pledges and their
personal performance during the
run. More information will be
coming soon.
THE PTO
WISHES YOU A
COLORFUL
YEAR!
