Eagle Night Out

          • ENO is this Friday, March 26th!  We need parent volunteers and snack donations. The committee will have a DJ, snacks, food, games, a magician and photo booth at the event.    Parent volunteers in the gym will be asked to spread out and actually “monitor” what the kids are doing.  Gina will ask committee to provide beach balls instead of volleyballs.

 

Parent Social

          • The social will be on Thursday, April 27th at a comedy club.  The Board has some concerns about it being on a Thursday night.  The comedy club will donated 20% from each ticket sold to the PTO.  The Board suggests that next year the social be done at the beginning of the school year to promote “community.”
