PTO Newsflash:

The PTO is meeting on February 12 at HDES at 6:30 p.m.  Please come and see the beautiful artwork that local illustrator Annie Sibley O’Brien has done with the grade 2-3 students this week.  The kids are writing and publishing their own books under the guidance of Ms. O’Brien and author Margy Burns Knight.  This in-school enrichment has been made possible by the planning and funding of the PTO.  

You will also see the Star of the Week posters that our SOTW committee has worked so hard on for yet another week. Thank you to all PTO members who have helped by interviewing our stars, coloring posters, laminating posters, developing photos, and providing support.   We have created excitement among our students and boosted self-esteem by your continued efforts.   

We’ll also see a short YouTube video on learning in this age of technology.  We’ll discuss a Spring fundraiser and would love to hear your ideas.  We’ll start making exciting and fun plans for Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week, which is May 5-9, 2008.  And don’t forget to mark your calendar for Hall-Dale Family Night with the Sea Dogs on May 9, 2008!

There are so many exciting things happening at school thanks to the efforts of PTO volunteers.  Just walk into the school and you will instantly see the positive impact that our PTO has at HDES.   

Please join us!
