Spring is hear and so is the beautiful weather. There is nothing better than a Sunday in Spring in Sea Girt!
Looking forward to a lot of great activities for the PTO coming up in April, May and June. We have been busy behind the scenes making sure these great events happen! It is important for the children and the Sea Girt Elementary School that we continue the Patriot Pride Spirit and engage the children while giving back to the school. Thank you for your continued support!

Spring Social
Planning is underway for the Annual PTO Spring Social. Date, place, and time to be announced once all details are finalized! This is always a fabulous event and we anticipate a great local venue! The plans currently are for a local event in June. More information to come. Stay tuned!
Memorial Day Games
Save the DATE! May 27 10am-12pm at Baltimore Park. Plans have moved forward and games and activities are already scheduled and committed. This will also be combined with the Grand Reopening of the Park. Very exciting. There will be pony rides, face painting, balloons, rock wall and much more! We will also being having a donation booth for the soldiers again this year. There will be information sent home regarding appropriate donation items as it gets closer. We are so excited to have this event back and engage as much of our local community as we can.
What we are looking for now is volunteers. There will shortly be a sign-up sheet through the website. We will also distribute information through the class parents. In the meantime if you have any questions, want to donate or have time to spare please contact us through the PTO email. We will need volunteers for both set up (prior to the event) and breakdown (after the event) and anywhere in between to help with games and booths etc.
Upcoming: Dance-A-Thon
The Dance-A-Thon is BACK! The date is May 17th, the DJ is booked! Thanks to the help of our volunteers we are committed to making this event happen again. The kids absolutely love it and the feedback from the kids when we tell them we will be having a Dance-A-Thon is pure excitement. There will be a letter to the teachers and also to the parents coming home early in April. This is a fundraiser for the PTO to give back to the school. More details to follow. We are excited for ALL classes to participate and enjoy. This is an event for both kids and parents and others. It is so much fund to attend and watch after the long stretch of testing the kids will be more than ready for the Dance A Thon. Stay tuned and watch the emails and website for more updates.
