Great News!  We finally were able to get Main Street Kitchen on board as a vendor in November!  This took a lot of coordination and work, thank you Cate Leonardis!  The Main Street Kitchen will be offering choices two days a week, so be on the look out.  Working on another food choice hopefully coming soon.  So stay tuned and keep reading the Sunday newsletters and following us on instagram to get all the recent updates.

BOX TOPS
Their back and they have gone digital.  This does not mean that you should stop clipping.  Please it is simple and easy.  If you see a box top on a food item you have purchased please clip it and bring into the school.   Clipping box tops is still acceptable as the program is just starting to transition to digital.  Here is the link for the Box Tops for Education Campaign  https://www.boxtops4education.com/en/About .  If you scroll down it will give instructions on how to download the app on your mobile device.  Once you put in the zip code the Sea Girt School will get credit.  you scroll down   Either way it is an easy way for the school to earn points.  So please take part in the Box Top Campaign either by clipping or scanning it is all for a great cause. 

BOOK FAIR

Always remember your Patriot Pride and go out into the world and be yourself and strive to meet your goals and expectations everyday.  You have made us PROUD!

Field Day

Thank you to all the volunteers, participants, teachers, parents, donations that made this day a success. The weather held out, the students loved it and as usual it all came together.

2019-2020 PTO COMMITTEE SIGN-UPS

The sign up list for the committees and class parents has been in the office in the PTO shelf since June 18th.  It is centrally located for all who are interested. If you are committed and interested in a committee or class parent position, this will be the first available opportunity to sign up. This year the descriptions for each committee will be provided on the sign up sheet so each person understands the duties that they are committing to.  As has always been the standard with the Sea Girt PTO, a class parent position should rotate each year. Meaning that the same parents should not be signing up for the class parent position if they performed that duty the year prior. This standard was established many years ago in order to give other parents the availability to have this position. If a position is not filled we will certainly reach out to all in order to make sure each class has the appropriate number of class parents. o.

2019-2020 Capital Expenditure Requests

The PTO is happy to announce that at our last meeting of the year in June we were able to fund all the capital expenditure requests that we received.  We are thrilled that we are able to fulfill the requests that serve to make the student experience a better one.  

SUMMER 2019

The PTO thanks all the families for their continued support in moving forward all the activities and fundraisers throughout the year. Without the support of the administration and families we could not meet our mission.  We wish you and your family a safe, happy and health summer and look forward to what 2020 will bring.  See you in September!

2018-2019

We are in the Home Stretch of the 2018-2019 PTO Season. 

Field Day

The Field Day preparations are in full swing.  We look forward to good weather and a great time.  The students really look forward to this during the last week of school.  It is planned for June 17th.  The PTO and it’s volunteers are working with Mr. Wnek and staff to make it a success.  Stay tuned for additional information and items needed for this day. 

Memorial Day Games

Thank you for all the volunteers and supporters of the Memorial Day events, starting with the band, the parade, and the games at Baltimore Park.  There are many people and organizations that make this possible.  It was a great day both weather wise and community wise where everyone came together to help, honor and make sure that the children and the community had an enjoyable time.

The Sea Girt PTO will continue to take donations for the military.  We will leave a donation bin at the school until the end of the week, June 7th.  The items can be dropped off at school in the donation bin.  We will than put everything together with the post cards that were written and send it off to the troops.  I am certain it will be greatly appreciated. 
Below is a flyer with a listing of items that can be dropped off at the school until June 7th.

Spring Social-Updates

Thank you for all who came out for the Spring Social and supported the school the students and their activities with their ticket purchases and silent auction.  The volunteers and vendors did a great job and we couldn’t be more thankful.  The monies raised will go to much needed programs for the students.

VOLUNTEERS

The PTO can never have enough volunteers so if you still are interested we have some open positions listed below.  We have a lot of great events coming up from now until the end of the year. These events are not possible without the help of all the parents and volunteers. Continue to reach out to anyone of us of come to a PTO meeting to see how you can help move forward the mission of the Sea Girt PTO with your involvement or volunteer effort. It can be time, a donation, work behind the scenes helping to get sponsors or anything else that you think may help. We are open to all types of involvement and it does not necessarily have to be a time commitment. In addition, the committee descriptions and volunteer sign up will be available soon on our Sea Girt PTO website.  Keep an eye out for a blast regarding same.
