Welcome Back Stanford Families! We hope you enjoyed the Winter Break and are looking forward to getting in gear for the 2012 Winter/Spring cycle.
Please join us Monday, January 9th at 6:00 pm for our monthly PTO meeting. We will start our meeting by hearing a short though well informed presentation by D.J. Cordes, financial advisor from Edward Jones Investment company. Mr. Cordes will be providing information and answering questions about saving for your child’s college education and available financial vehicles to reach your goals.
This meeting will be a great time to gather and discuss upcoming Winter and Spring Events including our Festival of Nations 2012! If you would like to be involved for this we would invite you to come and show your support, what a great way to earn volunteer hours.
As a PTO, we have been working to build a cookbook with your delicious parent/teacher lunch, holiday, and bake sale recipes. We are coming right along, but we need your recipes! As the holidays approach and you are cooking one of your family favorites, don’t forget to email the recipe to Amy Cole at Stanfordmontessoripto@yahoo.com. Please remember to include your name. You can log in 1 volunteer hour for each recipe. Easy as Apple Pie!
Join Stanford Parents and Teachers building an Outdoor Classroom Garden Space!
When: Saturday, Oct. 29th
Time: 9am – 3pm. starbucks is providing coffee for the morning helpers! Though you may come and go as you are available, any and all help is appreciated.
What to bring: work gloves, apron, water bottles, any of the following that you have: hammer, tape measure, garden/cement rake, shovels, cordless drill, or other small gardening tools
Further details: This space is the result of many teachers desire to have an easy to maintain, educational, student-centered garden space. Home Depot has partnered with us and has provided not only the $2,600 grant to fund construction but also a volunteer crew of 20-30 people to come out and function as team leaders on construction day! Garden features include: 18 raised beds to host a variety of plant life, 4 dwarf fruit bearing trees, 6 small benches, a work table for teachers and students to utilize, a double compost bin, a rock garden to host desert climate plants for regional study, and a central shallow water plant feature. Highlights of the garden also include wheelchair accessibility, markers for plant life which provide quick and easy teaching notes for our teachers, plant life which provide a broad range of skill level activities for students, and the use of entirely organic gardening methods. We are very excited about this, our first project with our Home Depot partners, and hope that many of you will come out to participate in this wonderful new beginning!
Please stop by anytime this Saturday, Oct 8th from 10a-3p!! We look forward to seeing our community there!
There are still many volunteer opportunities to be had. If you are going to be at the school for the day, contact your Classroom Parent Contact and see how you can get involved!
