Flynn Family PTO Update 10/3/11

Hey There Flynn Families - Hope your week has started off smooth.  The information on this week's blog should keep you busy and engaged at school.  Looking forward to catching up with folks at some of the upcoming events.  Have a great day.  Kate B.

Tuesday: GO LOCAL WEEK comes to Flynn School - Did you register to come have a FREE meal highlighting local foods?   Come try out what the Burlington School Food Project is serving your kiddoes for lunch.  "Lunch for Dinner" is served in the cafeteria from 5:30-7pm. 
If you plan on attending please register at: http://www.citymarket.coop/news/calendar/2011/10/4/local-lunch-dinner-burlington-school-district   Thank you to the Flynn parents who volunteered to help staff this event!!!

Wednesday: Walk to School Day!  Walk, run, bike, blade, skateboard, carpool - we don't care how you get there, just get there carbon free or carbon reduced!  When you do get there, look for a welcome table and friendly volunteers handing out participation stickers.  We will also celebrate your efforts at a schoolwide assembly on Friday.  Go green!

Wednesday is a half day... kids will be liberated at 11:30am.

Thursday: October PTO meeting (10/6) from 6:30-7:30 in the library.  Childcare provided.  If you attended the first PTO meeting in September - Fabulous!  If you can attend in October, you're an old-timer. Come, come often and this time, bring a buddy!  Our strength is in both our numbers and enthusiasm.  The meeting agenda can be found at the bottom of this post.  If you cannot make the meeting and have something to say, by all mean, say it!  We welcome you comments and suggestion at flynnschoolpto@gmail.com
