PTO Meeting
2023-11-08 08:15 - 09:15
Interested in volunteering? Here are a few ways to help:
a) We are still looking for one more morning drop off volunteer (Friday 7:50-8:10 am). If you have any questions, reply to this email or to Irene Cervantes at ikcervantes@yahoo.com.
b) We are looking for people to help organize PTO events throughout the year. Please let us know if you would be interested in working with us to ensure the success of our upcoming programs.
c) And on that note, the current PTO team has been leading the PTO for 3+ years now and it is time for us to step aside (and, in one case, graduate from EES!) and find our replacements. Please consider stepping forward to be a PTO leader next year. If we can not find people to fill these roles, the function that the PTO plays at Edmunds will have to be greatly diminished. If you are considering it, but do not think you are qualified/have enough time/you are the “PTO type”/or whatever the thinking may be, please know that everyone has the same kind of concerns. It makes a huge difference in our community and you can do it!

EES Drama Program Fundraiser - Benefit Bake
2023-11-07
The Edmunds Elementary Drama Program is excited to announce our annual Benefit Bake in conjunction with American Flatbread – a true Win-Win-Win fundraiser! For over 20 years, EES Drama has partnered with Very Merry Theatre to produce a theatrical performance that involves over 50 of our young actors, singers and stagehands. Fundraising is the primary means of covering our production, scholarships, costumes, scripts and so much more. Our production rehearsals begin in January with performances happening in March.

For each flatbread pizza that is ordered for take-out or dine-in on November 7th, EES Drama will receive a portion of the proceeds. This previously successful fundraiser is a wonderful way to support EES Drama, help a local restaurant that means so much to our community and answer the age-old question, “What’s for dinner?” We hope you will be able to join us in supporting our student actors!
