This is where you can find a copy of the weekly email sent from the PTO to all room parents. The email should be forwarded to you by your room parent, but we’ll house a copy here just in case.

For the week of September 2nd
PTO Info:
Volunteer Approval Process – If you plan to volunteer on campus this year, be sure you’ve completed the volunteer application, volunteer commitment form and have a current TB test on file. The volunteer application and commitment forms are available in the office, or on the parent portal at Volunteer Application Forms. TB test form is also in the office or available at TB Test Form.
MailChimp Monthly Newsletters – The PTO’s primary way of communicating is via our MailChimp e-blast system. If you’re not currently receiving these messages, please contact Claire at claireborsheim@yahoo.com; if you’re a returning parent, be sure to check your spam folders and if they’re going there just mark one as “not spam” so you’ll receive them going forward.
Y.E.S. Month – Teachers’ class wish letters will come home soon, along with pledge cards. We’ll send weekly e-blasts with class standings until the competition ends on 9/30, and a banner will be in the main quad for the kids to see. Each Monday in September the banner will be updated, and “Y.E.S.: We Support Calabash” bracelets will be sent home with every student whose family donates > $150. Hoping for another record-breaking year! Our first raffle for a free Parker Anderson class for all who have donated so far will be held on 9/3.
Calabash Family Night – Join us for our first big social event of the year on Friday, 9/6. We’ll have our beloved DJ Peter keeping everyone entertained, and Sharkey’s will be selling food. Join us from 6:00-7:30PM, catching up with Calabash friends and making new ones! PTO will be selling spirit wear and taking YES pledges.
Teacher Supplies Fund – All Room Parents will be asking their class families for a donation of $10 to help cover your teacher’s out-of-pocket classroom expenses. The money will be divided into grade-level pools and managed by our PTO Treasurer. Teachers will submit expense reports and be reimbursed up to their grade allowance. This is a voluntary donation but the teachers are so very grateful for it!
Enrichment Classes – Parker Anderson classes begin on 9/9. Orchestra classes will begin on 9/24. To view class schedules and register, check out the flyers posted on our website: PTO Enrichment Programs.
Kinderwalk – We’re in need of a few volunteers to walk our TK and Kinder students from the Kinder yard to their various enrichment classes (held in the auditorium, computer lab or science lab) after school. It takes just 5 minutes but is a huge help to parents. To sign up for one or more days a week please contact Helene at helenegrilliot@hotmail.com.
Box Tops – Be sure to clip any Box Tops found on your grocery purchases; each one is worth $.10 to our school. We’ll do two collections a year, in October and February. This is an easy and FREE way to help support Calabash!
Yearbook – Order your 2019/20 yearbook by 9/30 and pay the lowest price all year! You can purchase directly at www.treering.com using passcode 1013451407851762, or complete the form found at Yearbook Form and turn in by 9/25, which is a few days before the price increase so we have time to manually process the order.
