JFK PTO Update – January 4, 2017
Please Help JFK PTO Honor our Teachers and Staff
This Thursday a flyer should be going home with your child about our annual JFK Staff Appreciation luncheon, which will be on Friday, January 27th. We are asking for donations of homemade food (salads and main dishes), monetary donations, notes of appreciation (let your child's favorite teacher know how much you appreciate all their hard work) and parents to volunteer to help that day at the luncheon (from11am-1pm). Next Friday, January 13th we will have an online Signup Genius where you can sign up with what you would like to make for the luncheon. We will be sending out a link to that site or you can email Darla Gormley at joedargorm@gmail.com and just let her know what you would like to make for the luncheon. Thank you! And be on the lookout for that flyer this Thursday!!
JFK School Store – the kids are waiting! We Need You!
The JFK School Store sells things kids love for school – cool pencils, erasers, pens, paper, bookmarks, sharpeners, folders, rulers, stickers, little toys, magnets, and more. This year, we do not have a coordinator so the store has not been running – and the kids are anxious for it to start up. Can you help by coordinating volunteers or by working a regular or occasional shift during lunch 10:30-11:45 any day of the week? It is fun, easy, and you may even get to say hello to your kid as they go to lunch or come by to shop. Please email jfkmspto@gmail.com.
From Principal Wilson:
A big thank you to the PTO and our families for the delicious desserts for our faculty and staff holiday celebration. It was a wonderful day of treats and spending time together. We very much appreciate your generosity and all you do for us here at JFK.
