May 2022

Hi Little School Families,

Hope everyone is having a great month so far. It’s all hyper speed from now through the end of the school year, with many things happening with the Little School PTO! Some opportunities to help out, have some fun and help us raise funds for the upcoming year are all in our future! 

But first, we must give a giant Thank you thank you THANK YOU to everyone that helped make Teacher and Staff Appreciation week such a success (May2-6)! Jenny Sawyer and the whole hospitality team (Steph Norwood, Chantal McCarron, Alison Rosabianca, Kara Harron, Lena Giordano, Jenn Callahan, and many others!!) made this a week to remember for our whole staff. Once again, our school community filled our list of needs within a few days; the monetary and item donations are so appreciated and helped so much! We'll have a more comprehensive recap at this week's PTO meeting, but please know, everyone who had their child write a note, dress up or send $$, we are thankful for YOU!

Other notable items this month:

  • PTO Board nominations: We're looking for volunteers to serve on the board and on committees next year. Fill out the nomination form for yourself or a friend who you think would be great! We welcome all parents and guardians to make the PTO the best it can be for our students and school!

  • 2021-2022 Yearbook: Orders are due May 12, and they cost $20. Orders yours today! 

  • Little Flights at Hopothecary Ales: Parents' night out on Thursday May 19th at Hopothecary Ales! Enjoy live music, good company, and a sampling of the house beverages! Purchase tickets here.

  • Flamingo flocking: Flocking is well underway, and we could use some volunteers to help move them from one home to the next! Sign up here; many hands make this go fast, it usually takes 20 minutes between 8-11am, and you'll get your route in advance! 

  • Save the date: Field Day is Tuesday, June 7 and we'll need volunteers to run the game stations and also help out with Little Laps! 

Phew! Stay tuned for more information about an amazing return to Field Day, and the new and improved Little Laps, our fun run fundraiser happening that same day!

With appreciation,
