Dear New Searles Families,

 

Welcome to the 2019/2020 school year! For those of you unfamiliar with PTO, we are a group of parents, teachers, and administrative staff who are dedicated to enriching the children's experience at school.  We work hard to make our students time here memorable and exciting. 

The goals of PTO this year are continuing to financially support education, playground funding, enrichment programs, and extracurricular activities. 

New Searles PTO is very active in the school community.  We provide an annual stipend to teachers for classroom supplies, as well as funding for teacher request and field trip assistance.  In order to support these programs, we hold various fundraisers throughout the year.  We understand that not all fundraisers are for everybody, but we hope that you find fundraising events that are meaningful to your family.  As always, flat donations are accepted and appreciated as well. 

 The Husky Hustle is our major fundraiser for the year.  It will be held October 17.  We hope your children enjoyed last year's tee shirts.  If you are interested in being part of this year’s shirt advertisement, please see the attached form for family and company sponsorship.  The form must be completed with payment no later than Sept 13.  The following is a list of our fundraisers that we have planned for the year.

Husky Hustle – October

Election Day Bake Sale – November

Holiday Fair – November

Spirit Week – January

Little Caesars Pizza – February

Smencils – February

Square 1 Art – May

Our First PTO meeting is scheduled for September 11, at 7pm in the New Searles Library.  All are encouraged to attend.  We are looking forward to another great year with this amazing community.  If you have not already, please like us on Facebook (New Searles PTO) and check back frequently for updates.

 

Sincerely,

Jolene Knisell Co President
