Saturday Live Recap

9/27/2017

0 Comments

 
The Bitterroot PTA braved the cold on September 23rd and joined other schools in SD2 at Pioneer Park to enjoy a fun day of games and community!

This event wouldn't be possible for Bitterroot to participate in without the help of the many volunteers that assisted with candy donations, bagging candy, distributing candy, and counting tickets (not to mention set up/tear down!). A very big thank you to everyone who assisted in helping Bitterroot meet our fundraising goal!

Volunteers are such an important part of each of our events throughout the year. Please know that we have been very short-handed when it comes to parent volunteers over the last few years, and this "drought" has made it difficult for the PTA board to accommodate the student/teacher needs without taking time away from their own families to volunteer for every event. We want to make each year awesome for our kids and educators, while still having the chance to enjoy our homelife, and it truly takes a village to do it all. 

If you enjoy the events that the PTA offers we need your help to keep them going, and we would love the chance for you to get to know the PTA this year, so we can work together for the betterment of our children, in the environment they spend 9 months a year in. Our next meeting will be Thursday, 10/19/17, at 6:30pm in the Bitterroot Elementary Library. Please come with an open mind and a positive mindset! We look forward to seeing you!

  • The PTA is still in need of volunteers for Saturday Live, as well as candy and//or cash donations to stock our Saturday Live Candy Shack.  Click HERE to sign up for a 1-hour time slot.
  • The September PTA meeting is tomorrow.  Our PTA board this year is made up of a collection of parents with different backgrounds and strengths, and we look forward to meeting everyone tomorrow and working together for the benefit of the students and staff at Bitterroot Elementary.  We also have an amazing gift basket to give away to a lucky attendee!
  • The Coupon Book Fundraiser is now over, but coupon books are still available if you missed your chance or have a family member who would like one.  Please email the PTA (bitterrootpta@hotmail.com) and let us know how many books you will need, we will work with Mrs. Z to make sure you get them! 
  • Please return your sample coupon books to your children's teacher; these need to be turned in or the PTA is left to pay the cost for the unreturned book, which is technically the opposite of a fundraiser.

Candy requests went home in backpacks yesterday!  Please have your donations turned in to your teacher by next Thurdsay, the 21st, so that the candy can be prepped for Saturday Live!

If you aren't able to make it to the store to pick up candy please consider sending $5 - $10 with your student, these donations will be used to purchase additional candy.  We want as much candy as possible; the more candy we sell the more money we raise for Bitterroot Elementary!  We also will be offering "golden tickets" in bags again this year!

We look forward to seeing you all at Saturday Live on 9/23!

Fundraiser Clarification

9/11/2017

The Enjoy the City fundraiser is drawing to a close, and we wanted to make sure a price clarification was posted:

The coupon books are $20.00, rather than $25.00.  The collection envelopes were pre-printed with the $25 price, and we apologize for the confusion. 

Please remember to turn in your sample book and $$$ is due back on 9/15!  Thank you for all your assistance in helping us meet our fundraising goals!

September Updates

9/7/2017

0 Comments

 
Welcome from the Bitterroot PTA,


We want to welcome back our new and returning students!  Here are a few updates on the happenings in the PTA!


We will again be selling the “Enjoy the City” coupon books to family, friends, close neighbors, and co-workers. This fundraiser is not intended to be a door-to-door activity. The PTA receives half the cost of the books and will use those funds for our family activities, classroom needs, and to continue support of “Project Lead the Way”. Students will receive a sample booklet that you can review and purchase.  Advance orders and payments are taken for additional booklets which will be delivered Monday, September 18th.

  • For those families that do not wish to sell the coupon books and do not want to be responsible for a sample booklet, we have an opt-out form included with the sample book. Sample books and envelopes will be sent home on Friday, September 1st and are due back on Friday, September 15th.  The opt-out form needs to be returned by Friday, September 8th, along with the sample book.

We are also in the planning stages for Saturday Live, and would love to get our volunteer roster filled up before the PTA meeting.  Signing up to volunteer for this event is SUPER EASY!  This link will get you there!


We encourage parents to contact us at our e-mail address: bitterrootpta@hotmail.com or join our Remind.com list (see the Home page) to be kept informed about volunteer opportunities, baking opportunities, or PTA sponsored events.  We hope you take the opportunity to get involved with your child’s education this year, whether it is volunteering for an event, participating in a fundraiser, or volunteering in a classroom. You can make a positive difference in the life of your child and all our children at Bitterroot School.


The first meeting of the PTA will be Thursday, September 21st at 6:30 pm in the Bitterroot Library.  Please join us!  We’d love to help you get involved with the wonderful things we’re working on to benefit the students of Bitterroot Elementary. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us and we will help you to the best of our ability. Looking forward to an exciting school year with all of you!


Sincerely,
The Bitterroot PTA Board
