I just wanted to say thank you for putting on/sponsoring Math Night - My son … is in Kindergarten and came home all excited about the new math games. First thing he did this morning was start playing the bean game - he may have slept with it under his pillow. :)

Just wanted to pass along my appreciation for the events that you have the school. We really enjoy them.

Thank you to the PTA parents and the other volunteers who made Math Night a success this year.

Here are the details on what we need:

• On next Friday the 16th right after school, we need people to help load the food into our cars and drive it over to Kellogg Middle School. If we work fast, this is done within an hour to 1.5 hrs max. If you have a dolly (sp?) to load boxes, please bring it.

• On Saturday the 17th, we need a group of people to arrive at Kellogg at 9am to help with the big district effort to get the food sorted into boxes. This is a great experience for the whole family and is a very tangible way for our kids to experience service. If you can make it, bring a wagon, wheelbarrow, or some sort of cart so you don’t have to carry all the heavy food around! They ask for a 2 hr commitment, but you can just come and do what you can do. :)

Please contact president@parkwoodpta.org if you are interested!

Ms. Ploudre and the 6th grade teachers are looking for a volunteer to come once per week for 30-60 minutes to work with a sixth grade boy on his math and reading skills. Any time except Friday mornings will work.

If you are interested, please contact Ms. Ploudre at laura.ploudre@shorelineschools.org

Thank you so much!
