SPTC News

Join a great group of parents, teachers, and community members who are working together to enrich the lives of our students and encourage a sense of community at our school. SPTC has raised funds that have been used for: special assemblies like OMSI, classroom curriculum materials, Art Literacy and Artist in Residence Programs, PE and playground equipment, sensor faucets in all bathrooms, library furniture and refurbishments, AV equipment, and a sound system. We also coordinate fun events like Family Dance Night and Family Barbeque.
Our next meeting is on Tues. Oct. 14, at 8:15 am in the Commons. We welcome all levels of involvement and there are no membership dues.
You don’t have to attend meetings to participate. We have many roles for volunteers around the school and at home.

Exercise for Education Walkathon, Fri. Oct. 3, 2008, 1:45-2:30 pm
Instead of our traditional fall product sale, SPTC is sponsoring a walkathon to encourage healthy habits and raise money to support funding for classroom materials, special assemblies, and technology needs. We’re asking kids and families to try and raise $35 in sponsorships. A letter and sponsorship form was sent home with your child.
Come walk with your child or volunteer at water and lap stations. Mr. Lamont will be counting laps toward the school’s Run Across America initiative. The class that brings in the most sponsorship money will earn a pizza party and the student that brings in the most sponsorship money will get to be principal for a day.
Contact Melanie Petterson at 549-4499 for more information or to volunteer.
