PTO updates

We need more help getting books into the classrooms and library!  Please volunteer for the Scholastic Book fair.  We still have a few cashier slots left to fill.  All profits go back into books for the library and classrooms. Hours will be Tues – Friday Dec 1-4 7:30-3:30, and Thursday night 6-8. You need a current CORI, please contact VINS  or JFK front office to get your certification, which is good for 3 years.  We will also have an online store starting Nov 23.  Thank you!

Directories went home on Thursday, extras should be available in the office if needed. Also included was the PTO annual appeal for donations. These donations go directly to teachers who enrich our students learning every day, and generous donations mean fewer fundraisers. Please return the forms with a check to the school. You can also return the FSB ballots to school,we'd love to get a grant for our teachers this year again.  Thank you. 

We hope you are shopping locally, but if you do need something from Amazon, you can benefit JFK at no cost to you though the Amazon smile program. When you shop at AmazonSmile, Amazon donates 0.5% of the purchase price to Parent-Teacher Organization Of John F Kennedy Middle School Inc.
