Flynn PTO Update 3/17/13

Hey There Flynn Families - It's a busy week, no time for chit chat.  Hope to see families K-5 at Frankenstein!!!!  If you haven't experienced a Flynn show, you are in for a treat!

Bottle Drive Update  Thank you to the families who brought their bottles and cans to Merola's Market this past Saturday. We raised $125. For both the Fall and Spring we raised a total of $235 for the PTO. We thank Merola's Market for contributing 10% in addition to what was donated. Look for the bottle drops next school year in the Fall and Spring on the Saturdays of Day Light Saving Weekend.  Thanks!  Mary
