pie in your face

The PTO likes to reward hard work....not only do students earn rewards from our fundraising company but they also earn rewards from the PTO. The students selling at least 30 items went to Pizza Hut in Wapak in a limo! They each enjoyed lunch and a ride in a limousine, too.

When we returned to school, a prize assembly was held in the gym. Students selling at least 20 items participated in a hacky sack game. But the icing on the cake, oh, eh hum, PIE, was when the top seller from each grade creamed a staff member in the face with a pie.


Holiday Sports Spectacular!

Three years ago, the PTO was a bit short on funds. We had always brought in a special assembly for the kids to enjoy right before the holiday break. We still wanted to do something for the kids but we just did not have the money to do it. After some brainstorming, we asked our Physical Education teacher, Mrs. Black, to help us with something for the kids during their phys ed time. Holiday Sports Spectacular was born! Mrs. Black transformed our gym into a winter wonderland. She created a snowbank fit for snowball fights, a hockey game, toboggan riding and cross country skiing. With the help of yarn balls, a six sided hockey rink, scooters and buddy walkers, our wonderland arrived. Students enjoy it each year the last week of school before holiday break. Here are some of photos....
