Thank You!

Every school year, the PTO sets goals that we would like to achieve by the end of the year. This year, we set two goals. Our first goal is to replace the old banquet tables that have been used by staff and organizations in the gym as well as throughout the building. They are very heavy and have certainly gotten their use. As of today, we have purchased 12 new tables and hope to replace the remaining ones before the end of the school year.

Our second goal was to replace the old and heavy podium. We were fortunate to have the Grandfather of a first grader make one for us. We would like to extend a huge Thank You to Mr. Atha for a wonderful podium that will be used for many years.

Homeroom Valentine Parties

Homerooms celebrated Valentine's Day today by having parties. Students made their own boxes to collect their valentines. Here are just a few.



Shelby made a Cridersville School box.



Ashton made a covered wagon to take his valentines home in.



Corey collected his cards in a toilet!



Asia created a robot.



Mrs. Anderson's class got together for a photo before playing a game using balloons.

Thank you to all the parents, grandparents and other family members that donated to or came to the classroom parties. Happy Valentine's Day!

Recycle Day

On Saturday, February 3, the PTO worked the Cridersville area recycle. The recycle center is located in Tower Park. It just so happened that a cold front pushed through about the same time which made for a very cold morning. I believe the temperature was about 5*. PTO members, their families and Mr. Tester braved the cold and we got through the morning.



Some of us were able to escape the bitter winds by working inside the recycled paper truck. Others, however, weren't so lucky.



A big thanks to everyone who helped out at Recycle Day.

welcome to our page

This year the PTO is going outside of the box and trying new things. With the advancements in technology, there are so many ways for us to communicate with not only the staff, but with parents, too. We invite and encourage you to visit our page often to check out what we are doing, see photos and more.

Thanks!
