RED OAK PTO 2018-2019
Thank you to all the parents who volunteered before school and during recess during our iRead weeks. It was great to see so many students taking advantage of these extra reading times! We hope they continue to develop their love of books and reading time!
Don't forget that our 5th graders will be hosting a Hershey Kiss sale - this Thursday - to raise money for the Chicagoland Labrador Rescue organization. Each Hershey Kiss is $0.25 - limit 4 per student!
Weekly Announcements
1. PTO Meeting - Thursday, February 21st 7pm in the Red Oak Library (Childcare Provided) - Our District Superintendent Dr. Lubelfeld and Lindsey Rose - Director of Languages will be our special guests. We have asked them to:
- Provide any new updates on the long range planning process - covering the planned construction at Northwood and the opening of Elm Place for the Northwood students.
- Overview the Student Growth Report based on the Fall/Winter data
- Describe the impact of the curriculum changes, the move to the 50/50 Dual Language Model and the continued work to connect the elementary, middle and high school program.
- Take questions you might have on the current DL program, the future of the DL program, etc.
This is a GREAT opportunity to hear from our leaders and to be able to engage directly with our questions, concerns and/or excitement for our Dual Language school and for the program as a whole.
Please RSVP (for seating and food) using the following link ( https://goo.gl/forms/XP2E2rYOaejlFjaQ2). You can also list questions that you would like to have answered. We will provide them a list of these questions prior to the meeting. Our normal PTO agenda will follow the Q&A (we will try and keep it short)!
2. SAVE THE DATE - Red Oak Parent Night Out Fundraiser - Saturday, April 13th - 7pm. We hope you will join us at the Highwood Bocce Club for a fun night of food, drinks, raffles, silent auctions and more! VOLUNTEERS are NEEDED! Please contact Christine Arreola (cmpiller@hotmail.com) if you are interested in helping!
3. All Box Tops must be turned in by Friday, February 22nd!
This is our chance to reach our goal of raising $500 or more for Red Oak! How amazing that we can trade in pieces of cardboard and we will get money in exchange! We can make this happen if we all clip our Box Tops correctly and hand them in on time.
4. Rescheduled Panera Fundraiser - 2/28 - Due to the snow/cold day, the all day fundraiser at Panera in Highland Park for Red Oak has been rescheduled. The fundraiser will now take place on Thursday, February 28. We need to have at least $75 in sales in order to receive 20% back to the school. More information will come home in student backpacks in the next few weeks.
Thanks,
Jenn and Rosa
