PICTURE RETAKES
Pictures should arrive this week. Picture retake day is scheduled for Wednesday, October 22. If you were absent and have already paid, you do not need to bring in another form. If you were absent and have NOT paid, please bring your form and check in on the retake day (extra forms can be found in the PTO box in the office).
ROOM PARENTS
We are still in need of room parents in Ms. Hodgson’s Kindergarten. We also need additional room parents in Brown, Cronin, Dee and Lessard. Please consider helping out! The role of the room parent is to help organize class events, recruit other volunteers to help in the classroom and to help organize one teacher appreciation event with other grade-level room parents. Please feel free to come to the orientation even if you have not signed up! Room Parent Orientation: Thursday, October 9 from 6:00 - 7:00 pm in the Learning Center. Thank you to Shanta Eastman who has volunteered to serve as Room Parent Coordinator! If you have any questions- email flynnschoolpto@gmail.com
PLAY: Marvelous Land of Oz

FUNDRAISING
Correction: While the Meadowfarm fundraiser brought in over $3,000 total-this is not what Flynn school earned. We will know our percentage soon! Thank you Happy Vail and Missy Hellyer for organizing! Didn’t buy wrapping paper? Don’t worry...there is still an opportunity to support Flynn with the Pay It Forward fundraiser. Write a check (to Flynn School PTO) and send it in to the office! We are almost to $800! Help us reach our goal of over a $1000!LOST AND FOUND
