Staff Appreciation
For the first Early Release Day Staff Meeting on Sept. 25, we're putting together a "Build your own trail mix" bar. Please help us show the teachers and staff how much they're appreciated by signing up to send in items in our SignUpGenius. NOTE: All items must be NUT FREE!
If you sign up to bring in an item, please make sure it is dropped off by Monday, Sept. 23. Please leave donations in the front office. If you have any questions, please email Karen Barnash: KLBarnash@yahoo.com.
If you'd prefer to donate money towards these items instead, please feel free to do that here: Donate (paypal.com) Thank you! |

Hawthorne’s Spirit Night
Last week, we accidentally sent out the wrong date for Hawthorne's Spirit Night -- it is actually THIS Thursday, Sept. 19, from 4-8pm. All sales at the Old Post Road location will earn money for the East Meck PTSO. Don’t forget to mention EAST MECK!

Direct Giving
The annual Direct Giving campaign is East Meck PTSO’s primary fundraiser. It allows you to make an easy, direct donation straight to the PTSO general fund—nothing to sell, nothing to buy. The funds raised for Direct Giving provide extra resources for our children and teachers at East Meck for many things that the school would not otherwise receive. Here is a sampling of what Direct Giving supports:
-
Teacher grant program to support their unmet needs
-
Staff appreciation events
-
Supplies, health room necessities, and room decor
-
Grounds upkeep and beautification
-
Various student run activities
Consider making a tax-deductible donation to the PTSO Direct Giving campaign and check with your company to see if they will match your gift. For more information and to donate online, visit: https://emptso.org/donate |
