No Koala of the Week Scheduled Due To The Short Week
Keenoy Koala News January 4th, 2017
Dear
Families,
I hope that everyone had a wonderful
Winter Break and enjoyed the extra time with your family. Students came back ready to work and we have
had a terrific week. Thank you for all
that you do to support your child’s learning and my teaching!
Since
it was such a short week, I will hold onto the Friday Folder Work Study Habit
marks today. These will be sent home
next Friday with teacher comments. I
will also keep the newsletter mostly informational and brief.
Fundraiser To Help With 5th
Grade Field Trip to BIZTOWN-in Chesterfield St. Louis!
Dear
PKE Families,
Who loves Shakespeare’s Pizza? We
have an exciting and easy fundraiser opportunity. We are selling their frozen
pizzas to help support our 5th grade students going to Biz Town in St. Louis
and other various PKE projects. This is a very unique, special, and memorable
opportunity for our 5th graders. The cost is $15/student, and PTA would like to
help offset some of those costs for the students. Our goal is to sell at least
200 pizzas, which would earn PKE $1000. I think we can easily surpass that goal
with a school of our size! Please consider asking family, friends, neighbors,
posting on social media, and co-workers! These pizzas are delicious and an easy
fix for dinner on those busy nights!
The fundraiser ends on Jan. 25th.
Please submit your order and MONEY on or before the due date. We will NOT place
any orders that haven’t been paid for. PTA cannot front the money in hopes
people will pay on delivery day. Checks need to be made out to PKE PTA! Please
consider submitting 1 check for your order, so it will be easier on our
treasurer to process all the checks.
Delivery will be on February 13th
from 3:00-3:40pm and 5:30pm-6:30pm. We will be asking the 5th grade students to
help with the delivery.
Again, thank you for your continued
support of PKE PTA!
Happy
Pizza Fundraising!

each instrument. At the end of the evening, students will be matched with an
instrument based upon interest, ability, and balanced instrumentation needs.
