Boxtops Contest for Kindergartners Only

posted Apr 27, 2010 9:27 AM by Irene Leong   [ updated May 4, 2010 1:43 PM ]

Hello and welcome to Pewaukee Schools!

 

As a parent of a child entering Pewaukee, I am sure you and your child are excited to become involved with the Pewaukee PTO Family. Our PTO has been supporting the General Mills Box Tops program for years. The Box Tops program allows the Pewaukee community to raise funds for school activities, events, supplies and more.  I am proud to say that our kids have outdone themselves each year! In 2009-2010, Pewaukee students made over $6000  just from turning in Box Tops! Compared to 08/09 School Year total of $3693.70 and 07/08 School Year total of $2463.50. We increased collections almost 40% over last year !!

 

Attached to this letter is a Box Tops Collection Sheet being distributed only to our incoming Kindergarten students. All you have to do is to adhere 10 Box Tops coupons to each Collection Sheet (an example of what one looks like is pictured inside each square). Make sure to enter your child’s name and the name of the teacher your child has been assigned to. Once school starts, have your child turn in the COMPLETED sheet to their teacher. All kindergartners submitting this collection sheet will be entered into a contest which will run until October 1, 2010. A special prize will be awarded to the Kindergarten classroom that turns in the most box tops and one student will win a PLE T-shirt!

 

If you have any questions, please contact Laurie Fernandez at  lfernandez4@wi.rr.com

 

Feel free to make extra copies of the collection sheet if you need more or download from  www.pewaukeepto.com.  Ask your friends and family to save for you as well!

Teacher Dinner Under the Sea

posted Dec 18, 2009 2:27 PM by Irene Leong   [ updated Dec 18, 2009 4:52 PM ]

PLE teachers were treated to “dinner at the beach” on Monday, November 16th during Teacher Conferences.  Since PLE’s theme is Dive Into Learning, the dinner theme was "Under the Sea".  Dinner for the teachers included seafood appetizers, sandwiches, soups, LOTS of desserts and—of course!—beach music playing in the background!  Thanks to Kathleen McNight for chairing this event and all our volunteers who help show the teachers how much we appreciate them!
