Hey There Flynn Families - Welcome back! Just before break 2nd grade parents showered Flynn staff with a week full of kid written tributes, breakfast goodies, flowers and munchies. Thanks you to all the 2nd grade parents who prepared goodies and were able to help out - the staff certainly appreciated your thoughtfulness!PTO Meeting this Thursday at 6:30pm in the Library. As always, we provide free childcare! The meeting agenda is included at the end of this post. Never too late to try out a meeting - we rarely bite!
PTO (FREE) Skate Night is this Friday at Leddy Arena All Flynn families are invited to skate for free from 6-8pm. No skates? No problem, we will cover that too! (if you have your own skates, please bring them!!!) The snackbar will be open for goodies. Don't forget your gloves, hat and helmet if you have one! All children must have an adult in attendance - no children will be admitted without a parent or other adult in charge.
PTO PIZZA NIGHT - ANOTHER FABULOUS SUCCESS!!
Thanks so much to Ramuntos Pizza in Williston and to all the wonderful parent volunteers and pizza buyers!! We raised $176!!! All this money goes right back into enriching the lives of our students right here at Flynn! How awesome is that?!? The best part is that the PTO is doing a pizza night every month, so you can look forward to a non-cooking night and help your school at the same time!!!
The next PTO Pizza Pick Up Dates (say that fast!)are: MARCH 27, April 17 and May 29- this will be the last one for the year and we will start again in Sept.
***Order forms are always due on Tues.,one week before the pick up date.*****
*** Order Forms come home in the Flynn Flyer and there are always extras in the office.***
Narnia preparations are in full swing. Practice will resume on Wednesday and students are asked to bring in their costumes this week. A letter will be going home asking for some snack donations for production week. Our kiddoes will be working hard during and afterschool this week and we plan to keep their energy high! Clear your social calendars for the week of 3/19 - between the technical dress rehearsal and final preparations for the shows, it will be an exhausting (and exciting!) week.
Don't have a kid in the play??? Support your Flynn school family and come see the play Friday at 7pm or Saturday for the 4pm matinee!
Box Tops Thank you to families for collecting and sending in Box Tops. Denise Haggerty reports that the latest submission was for $152 - that is up $23 from the same time last year! Keep sending them in and don't forget to keep them over the summer months! Thanks Denise for your leadership and expansion of this program!
