EESPTO Leaders

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1st, 5:00-7:00 PM 

The Edmunds Elementary PTO is sponsoring the 15th Annual Family Math Night in the school gym!  Explore the wonders of math with your children and let them show you what they are learning. A variety of activities and math centers will be available for children of all ages, such as legos, card games, chess, games with dice, and many more! 

There will be pizza and prizes, too! 

Please bring a finger food snack, appetizer, or dessert to share. 

Sign up to volunteer here. We need A LOT of volunteers to make Math Night run!

Schedule:

• 5:00 – 5:30 pm: Pizza will be served in the cafeteria 
• 5:30 – 7:00 pm: Math Night in the gym 

Questions? Please email PTO volunteer Peggy Price at [email protected] 

As the temperatures begin to drop and we sort through our kids’ winter gear to see what fits and what needs to be replaced, please remember to set aside any items you might be able to donate to this year’s coat and gear swap.  

November 11: The PTO will begin collecting new or gently used (still in good condition) items: coats, snow pants, gently used boots, and accessories (no hats, please). 

Donations can be dropped off at the school’s main entrance.

Remember, you don’t have to give to get.

Room Parents are needed for most classrooms: If you are interested in becoming a room parent for your child’s grade, please consider volunteering for this fun job! As a room parent, you communicate and coordinate classroom assistance to promote parent/family involvement in class and schoolwide activities such as classroom celebrations and field trips.

If you are interested in volunteering or have questions about this role, please email Gretchen Platt at [email protected] or talk with your child’s classroom teacher.

Thank you!
