The food was great, the games were fun, and the prizes were awesome! Check your candy box for a certificate good at the Book Fair - good through Friday!
LAUREL PTA FUNDRAISING UPDATE:
Laurel PTA's on-line auction will begin on March 15th! If you or your company would like to donate please find the family and corporate donation forms below. Due to the amazing turnout of our community's donations for Move-A-Thon, classrooms do not have to donate to the auction! The funds collected can instead be used on end of year teacher gifts. This year we will also be holding a Parent’s Night Out to kick off the on-line auction! More information will be coming in next week's e-Blast!
If you have any questions please contact Jenny McPherson laurel.fundraising@gmail.com

Thank you for all your Halloween Candy Donations for our Troops this year. They really appreciated it! We were able to donate 160 pounds of candy for our Military.
WOW! Don't you hate how the PTA does ______________?
EXCELLENT!
Please consider serving on the PTA board starting in the Fall of 2019!
We need volunteers full of ideas and energy!
We have multiple positions open, many that do not require previous experience, just willingness! You will be trained!
Remember, Teachers and Staff don't have the time to fundraise or to run additional activities - they don't even get enough money from the district for paper! We need the PTA for fundraising, events, assemblies, Art in Action, Art & Science Day, and much more. This is where you come in - we need 12 volunteers a year step up to serve our school and families by serving on the PTA board!
Won't you consider stepping up and guiding the course of Laurel PTA's future?
Please email the Parliamentarian at laurelPTA.parliamentarian@gmail.com if you would like to help with this important task!
