The Grainwood PTC recently had its first meeting of the year.
Plans were discussed for this year in terms of fundraisers and contributions to
the school. Our three big fundraisers will again include The Chip Shoppe
this fall (Kick-off is this Thursday, September 19), Butter Braid sales in the
spring and the second year of the Walk-a-thon in late May.
We will continue to promote volunteering in our school in both the classroom and through fundraising to support the school in providing many wonderful educational programs and opportunities here at Grainwood. If you have not filled out a volunteer form yet, please ask for one from your child’s teacher or the Grainwood office. There are many opportunities available throughout the year! With PTC distributing its leadership over 24 coordinator positions, volunteer commitments are specific, often time-bound and require a respectful and limited time commitment. This model has worked well and allows parents to be involved without intruding on other family commitments. Please feel free to contact Kim Frantz, PTC President, at frantzkim@hotmail.com for more information.
Our next meeting will be held Tuesday, October 1st from 6:30-8pm in the Grainwood Conference Room. We invite you to join us and thank the new parents who have already taken time to participate. As always, parents are invited to attend and hear about what is happening at Grainwood from the principal, the teachers and the parents, as we all strive to meet the needs of Grainwood's students.
