Hello Stanford Family & Friends!

I wanted to send out a brief update on a few PTO happenings.

• April PTO Meeting has been canceled due to the new parent orientation that will be occurring on this night.  The Executive Board will meet at 5:00 and the Committee Chairs and Co-Chairs are asked to meet as well on as needed basis.  Especially if you need to do any planning for the end of the year events.
• Coke Rewards are now being collected by the PTO as a part of Painless Fund-raising.Coke rewards are found on the lids of 16oz, 20oz and 2L bottles of coke products (coke, sprite, all zero and diet). They can also be found on the inside of the tear off end of 12 and 24 packs. If you would begin to collect and send these in, it is a great way for the school to earn some of the things that are needed.  We know that as the warm weather approaches more of these items will be consumed, especially over the summer months.  So, start building your donations and collecting volunteer hours for next year!
• A Stanford Cookbook will begin to be compiled over the summer months, which means that we need all you fabulous Stanford Cooks to begin to send in your recipes.  It never fails that after a teacher’s appreciation luncheon someone is asking for a recipe.  So here is your chance to brag!! Start sending me your recipes now, any variety, any category–email is the most preferred way to receive these.  We will need about 200 hundred of your BEST and most talked about recipes!
• Final Touches will be added to our water feature Saturday April 2, at 9:00 a.m.  Please come out for a an hour or so to spread mulch and plant a few flowers around our water feature.   The work will not be hard, but it will be rewarding for the children at our school.  Plus, you can earn your end of the year volunteer hours for this much needed help!
• Be on the watch, the Monthly Newsletter will be coming shortly to a backpack near you.
• Don’t forget to record your Volunteer Hours in the volunteer book that is in the front of the office.  Mrs. Stricklin calculates and turns these hours in at the end of each school year so they are important for our “show of support.”

As always, I appreciate all you do to make Stanford the wonderful environment our children have to learn in!

Many Thanks!
