Barnes & Noble Wrap Up

We had a blast at Barnes & Noble on Saturday coming together as a community and raising money for our PTA.  Between our gift wrapping tip jar and people buying B&N products to support our school, we raised over $1300!  Thanks so much to all of your generous purchases & tips. If you couldn't make it out, make sure you make any online purchases before 12/10 with voucher #11524493

Special thanks to the organizers for our grade level events - Mrs. Albin & Mrs. Miller's Gingerbread Gallery, Ms. Matuschak's First Grade Authors, Ms. Johnson's Book Reviews, Third Grade Team's Multiplication Facts, and 4th Grade's Poetry Slam!  Madison Healy & Ava Mashburn were awesome at leading up 5th Grade's "Cup Song" performance, too.  Here's a photo of them practicing in the library last week- lots of singing & fun!

We also had lots of club activities- thanks for the Art Gallery, Mrs. Bell!  We loved the Choir Performance, Mrs. Hermansen.  "Domo arigato" to Mr. Brewton & Mr. Martir for the awesome Robotics demonstration!  Thanks to Ms. LeSage for facepainting & PTA parents for running the Yearbook Cover art contest. Thanks to Mr. Hashbarger for running the cupstacking tournament, Mrs. Shetty & Mrs. Rideaux-Glasper for the beautiful monologue performances, Mrs. Stewart's TAG Project Presentations, and to Mrs. Hermansen, Mrs. Lavender, Ms. Jacobs, Mrs. Talley, Mrs. James, Ms. Velasquez & Ms. Moore for bringing family members for our "Meet the Family" Event!

I appreciate all of our skilled gift wrappers: Mrs. Hoover, Mrs. Jewert, Mrs. Keery, Mrs. Bordic, Mrs. Routt, Mrs. Vetter, Mrs. Peyton, Ms. Jacobs, Mrs. Talley, Mrs. Lavender, Ms. Decker, Ms. Johnson, Mrs. Christo, and a special thanks to Mrs. Pieper & Elizabeth Pieper for filling in as needed!

Thanks to Library Leaders for helping me stand at the front door and identify our supporters:  Lillian, Griffin, Abiha, Ceil, Lola, Belle, Cam, Gabriel, Uriah & Elizabeth!

Thanks to Barnes & Noble for hosting us so graciously and letting us crowd their store! We're so excited to count them as a community partner and love working with them.  Thanks for the generosity, B&N!
