Hello Stanford Families and Friends!
There are two BIG things I would like to share with you.
1. All the voting efforts paid off, because Stanford won $5000 from Kleenex for field trips! How awesome is that? Our children are so fortunate to go to a school that has so many adults in their lives that work to make things happen. Thank you to all of you who voted on the Facebook page and asked their friends and family to vote as well. It really did pay off in a BIG way!
2. Do you know what October 8th is? The First Annual Stanford Fall Festival–woo hoo! Because we want our parents to have the first advantages, I have attached the pre-sale flyer for advanced purchases. There are BIG discounts inpurchasing your tickets BEFORE the event, so take a look at the attachment and place your orders. Also, if anyone has any items (or knows someone) that would donate items to the silent auction please let us know. And, did you know all of this counts towards your 35 volunteer hours–easy, easy!?
Thank you for all you do to make Stanford such a FANTASTIC school!
Amy Cole
PTO President

As you go through your children’s closet and drawers this year sorting their outgrown uniforms, let me remind you: Stanford has a wonderful Uniform Swap program that would love your gently used donations.
Uniform Swap is a way to get and give gently used uniforms. It hapens the first Friday of each month in the gym between 7:45am – 8:15am. You don’t have to donate to take and you are welcome to donate anytime – come check it out! We have lots of uniforms to give and you can donate at the swap or deposit your gently used uniforms anytime in the office bin under the volunteer sign in book in the office.
Our first uniform swap will be September 2nd.

Hello Stanford Family and Friends!
I can’t beleive we are almost at the beginning of school! There are a couple of events coming up that I would like to share with you.
This Saturday, August 6th from 9-11 a.m. is Stanford Grounds Clean Up Day
If you have a little time that morning, we would really appreciate your help getting our lawn and sign ready for the first day of school. Just 30 minutes pulling weeds would be a tremendous help. And, remember, if we all do a little, no one has to do a lot!
Tuesday, August 9th is Welcome Night
6:00 for Primary Students and 6:30 p.m. for Elementary Students
Please take a moment to come by the school that evening to briefly greet teachers, drop off supplies, visit the tables in the gym, purchase “spirit” wear, etc, etc.
August 11th is Boo Hoo/Yahoo
This is the first moring of school! After you drop your child off, stop in the gym for some light breakfast fare and either “wipe a tear away” or shout “yahoo” as we begin our fresh start to a new year! PTO committee members will be available to answer questions you might have.
I look forward to this new year, the exciting PTO events we have planned and serving has your PTO President!
Cordially,
Amy Cole
