Need Volunteers for Carnival!

2011-05-25T14:30:00.001-05:00

The Last Day of School Carnival is June 2. I am looking for a few parents to help out at the games and inflatables. If you can volunteer, please let me know.
We have 2 shifts...
8:45am (kids come out at 9:30 but we need to get set up) to 11am for the 3rd 4th and 5th graders

1:15pm to 3:15pm (kids are done at 2:45 but we need to clean up before buses come) for K, 1st and 2nd grade

The sno cone station is all taken care of for the entire day. But we will need help at the other stations.
This year we have 3 inflatables and lots of games. New this year, potato sack races!

Please let me know if you can help and what shift you want to work. I will respond back with your station.
The inflatables need 2 workers each, so if you and a friend want it, please be sure to let me know!

Have a great day!
Stephanie Deterding
PTO President

Please check your Crock Pot! hahahha

2011-04-13T11:45:00.001-05:00

So we had that lunch for the staff on St. Patrick's Day of Corned Beef and Cabbage, pastas, roasts, deserts, etc. And it was a huge hit! The staff loved it and we had a ton of food...thank you to those of you that helped out.
But, we seem to be missing a Crock Pot,. we are thinking that someone may have grabbed the wrong one. If you have a stainless steel (or silver) Crock Pot with the digital thingy on the front, and you picked it up from the teachers lounge, please make sure it is yours, because there were 2 there that looked alike, but were different and we need to get these switched back.
Please let me know if you may have the wrong one...its not a huge deal, but the owner of the missing Crock Pot was hoping to get it back, it was a new one!
Thank you so much for looking, please let me know if you might be the one that took it by mistake!

Elections for the board will be held at the April Meeting, which leaves the May meeting as a review of the year and we will talk about the Last day of School Carnival AND we will vote on what to do with any money that is remaining on our statement.

Don't forget to order your Market Day tonight! There is a special on the cookie dough and it just so happens that PTO is working on the ANNUAL COOKIE EXCHANGE for the staff at PVE.
Wouldn't it be convenient to order a box of cookie dough from Market Day (remember that the PTO gets extra profit this month from all cookie dough sales) then bake those cookies and bring them to school on the 17th for the cookie exchange?
A flier should come home this week with all of the details on the cookie exchange. (I made copies and gave them to the teachers yesterday to send home)
To place a order online, just go to www.marketday.com our school ID # is 21961 You can order and pay online...IT SO EASY!

PVE Christmas Assistance

2010-12-06T10:18:00.001-06:00

PVE Families,

There is an old saying...One mans junk is another mans treasure. There are many families at PVE that are in need of items that you may have lying around at your home not knowing what to do with them. If you have any of the following items that you would like to donate to a PVE family please let me know ASAP. We are trying our best to help every needy PVE family have a brighter Christmas.....this is your way to help!

Steam Cleaner
Refrigerator
stove/oven
bunk beds
2 twin beds (for teenage boys)
computer
Air purifier (needed for a babies room)
backyard swing set/playground
vacuum
microwave
large book case (5 shelves or so)

In addition, many of these families are in need of food donations for their holiday meal. We like to provide them with a grocery store gift card so they can buy what their family likes for Christmas dinner. These families do not have the luxury of taking a break from the house and eating out or going on a "date". If you would like to donate a gift card to a grocery store or a restaurant please send it to school in an envelope marked "Stuff the Stocking".

Thank you in advance for helping out our own PVE families.

Missie Deters

Just some PTO News that I wanted to share....

2010-10-12T12:58:00.001-05:00

At our meeting last week we voted on what to do with money that we earn from some of the committees that make a profit. Here is what was voted on for the year!

Market Day regular monthly sales profits, profits from Pie Push and Cookie Dough push will go to level reading books for the teachers to use in the classroom. Mr. Schulte will order what they need and have them available in the book room (which is in the library) for the teachers to check out as needed.

Sk8Night and Breakfast with Santa profits will be used for Cafe Painting. We are saving up some money and will work on what to paint and when after Christmas. Any ideas? We are looking for a theme for some murals..examples are The United States, popular murals from children's books, healthy eating, etc. Please let me know!

Box Top profits will be used to purchase a mounted projection screen that will go in the gym. The electricity is all there! We might just have enough after we get the 1st check from Box Tops!

And Basket Auction money will be used for painting the walls of the water fountains (to warm up the school walls) with the remaining going to technology fund for later use.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
Our next meeting is Nov. 4th 7pm in the school library.

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL CARNIVAL!

2010-05-17T09:22:00.001-05:00

The last day of school is Wednesday, May 26th. The PVE PTO will be holding the Carnival once again and will need some help from our wonderful parents!
There are 2 shifts....9:30am to 10:45am At this time, Kindergarten (AM) 3rd 4th and 5th graders will be out
Then 1:15pm to 2:45pm with Kindergarten (PM) 1st 2nd graders will be out.
Here are the stations where we will need help...
sno cones 3ppl
football toss 2ppl
sucker pull 1person
duck pond 1 person
ring toss 2 ppl
cake walk 2ppl
tattoo station 4 people at this one would be great...there is always a long line here
jump rope contest 1 person
we will have 3 inflatables and will need 2 ppl at each one at all times
2 other games that we are borrowing from the Lammert family that will need 1 per person as well

The students have 1 1/2 hours out there and just run around and do whatever they want. We are out there to be sure they are safe and have fun!

We can not give out prizes from the games since the students can not take anything on the bus with them so we pass out small pieces of candy. I have that taken care of. All of these games we own so there is nothing to buy.
I will be out there in the morning at 8:30am to set up and will need some help there.

Please let me know if you can help and if you want to work a certain station. If not I will just give you a station and will let you know what that is once we get out there. It is always a lot of fun!
Just email or call me and let me know....THANK YOU!!

PVE Family...House Fire...Needs help!

2010-05-04T16:48:00.000-05:00

Dear Prairie View Families:

As many of you know, last Saturday, the Vohsen Family, lost their home and belongings, due to fire. As they are struggling to rebuild, let's show them we care!

Due to space limitations, donations would be best in the form of a gift card. Such asâ?¦restaurants, gas stations, Target, Wal-Mart, Costco, etc. There has also been an account set up in their name at a local bank. Cash donations can be accepted, but a check is preferred. It can be made to Tom or Jen Vohsen. Please send donations in an envelope, to the school office marked "Donations - Vohsen ". If you would like a receipt of your donation, please include your name and address. If you have any questions, contact Wendy Reichle @ 636-561-7708.

Thank you PVE families for your generosity!

box top and labels

2010-04-05T19:56:00.001-05:00

Parents,
The box top contest has been extended to the end of the week. I picked everything up on Thurs. night and when I returned this morning I found just as many. So I made a decision to extened the date, April 9,2010. Also, on a different note, Campbell's is running a contest as well. Whatever I have by May 21,2010 Campbells will double our points up to 2,000.
Keep sending in the tops and labels and I will have a final count on everything in June.
All your help is not going unnoticed, you're helping tour school. Keep up the GREAT work.

Theresa Donelson
Box Top and Label Chairman.

PVE and DRE- dates, meetings, and info

2010-03-29T12:29:00.000-06:00

Greetings PVE and DRE Families,
Hopefully, everyone had a nice Spring Break. April is upon us and there are so many important things happening with both PVE and DRE PTO's so we wanted to be sure you are kept up to date on each.
First of for PVE:
April 1-Skate Night...this is our final Skate Night of the year. It would be a fantastic way to get all of our kids together one last time and raise money for PVE!!!
April 5-Executive PVE PTO Meeting at 6:30 in the library. Committee Chairs please be present to present summaries of your committees or email a board member with details.
April 8- General Meeting...We will be voting for the new PVE PTO Board for 2010-2011. We will also be listening to presentations from Fundraising Companies so we can decide which company will suit our needs best and help us raise a large sum of money for PVE. (Those going to DRE should come and listen for future fundraising opportunities)
Committee Chairs are still needed for many PVE PTO Committees. It's a great way to get involved and show your support!!

For DRE PTO:
April 8- General Meeting at 7:15 in the library following PVE PTO Meeting. We will be introducing those candidates who are up for nomination for the DRE PTO Board. Many names have been submitted, but all positions are still accepting candidates for the board. If you are interested in a position on the board, please contact Ellen Eikel (561-2533) so your name will be included as a candidate for the nominations at this April 8 meeting. If you aren't interested in a board position there are many chances to be a huge part of the team by signing up as a Committee Chair for one of the many wonderful committees we will be hosting.

We hope to see everyone attend these important PTO Meetings and events as we try to work together to create the best learning environment for our students!
Thank you for your continued support!

Market Day Pick-up Date Change

2010-03-03T17:35:00.000-06:00

****Market Day pick-up has been moved to March 30th. at 4:30 p.m.*****

You can now do internet orders through March 22nd. When placing an online order it will read that the pick up date is the 27th - but it WILL be on the 30th. The reason for the wrong date is because Market Day would then have to list it as an April sale instead of March sale.

Thank you in advance for your orders and don't worry about having to try to pick it up while on Spring Break.
Thank you!

Now I know that you see this TRIVIA NIGHT DONATIONS NEEDED and kind of freak out, sigh or panic...but don't! IT IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK!!!

Our Annual Trivia Night is March 13. At this event we give out door prizes and have raffles and auctions.

We are asking you..DO YOU HAVE ANY CONTACTS OR ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO DONATE? I am not asking anyone to go out and buy anything! Do you work somewhere that might be able to donate something that we can auction off, give away as a door prize or raffle off??? Some ideas....tickets to shows or games, gift certificates to restaurants or shoppes or for services, oil changes, ETC. Do you make jewelry, or sell something like candles or Pampered Chef? Do you work at a salon or auto shop? We will take anything! Sometimes you can put a few items together that will make a really nice prize!

PLEASE REMEMBER, WE ARE NOT ASKING OR EXPECT ANYONE TO GO OUT AND BUY ANYTHING!
We will promote everyone that donates to us on our website and at the event. We can pass out business cards or menus, etc. to help anyone out that helps us out! I can email a donation letter if needed.

If you have any questions or can make a donations, pls call me or email stephanie deterding at 294-2800 or stephaniedeterding@gmail.com

ALL PROFITS FROM THIS EVENT AND THE SILENT AUCTION ARE GOING TO SUPPORT OUR PTO BUDGET...THE PTO IS GIVING THE NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL A DONATION TO GET THAT PTO/PTA UP AND RUNNING AND THESE FUNDS WILL PAY FOR THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL CARNIVAL AND OTHER ITEMS THAT THE PTO HAS COMMITTED TO FUNDING AT PRAIRIE VIEW.

Updating PTO Manager for Prairie View Elementary

2009-08-19T07:36:00.001-05:00

Welcome Back to School! We are in the process of updating PTO Manager for Prairie View Elementary. If you signed up to receive Prairie View PTO messages last year, you know how valuable that information can be for busy parents and staff members. We would like to keep you up-to-date and informed. In order to continue to receive these important updates, you will need to join the PTO or fill out a request for PTO emails. There is form that will be coming home with your student entitled, "PTO Membership Form". This is the form you need to fill out to get PTO emails and access to the PTO Manager database. Last year's form will expire today. If you are no longer interested in receiving PV PTO messages, you don't need to do a thing. Your information will expire at the end of today. PTO Officers and Committee Chairs for the 2009-2010 school year will remain in "active" status pending the receipt of your PTO Membership Form. Please be sure to join for the new school year !
right away.

We hope you will consider joining the PTO. We help fund many important events and activities for our students and staff. Your membership dues enable us to continue these programs and gives you a voice in how funds raised are spent. Joining the PTO does not require tons of volunteer time and committment. You don't have to attend meetings (although we'd love to see you there), you don't have to volunteer (although we'd love your help), we just want you to be a part of the organization that works to bring school and home together in a fun and friendly way.

If you have questions, please contact Lori Carballo at 978.2915 or email at lcarballo@charter.net . Remember, if you do not want to received these emails in the future, you don't have to do a thing. Your name will fall off the distribution list at the end of the day as "expired".

Thank you!

Hope everyone had a really nice Spring Break!!
I just wanted to send out a few reminders from the PTO.
*We have a General PTO Meeting on Thursday April 9th, 6:30pm in the school library, everyone is welcome to attend! I have attached our agenda for you.

*Also wanted to remind you that tickets for the River City Rascals game on June 10th are available to purchase for our 2nd Annual Prairie View Night at the Ballpark! Our very own PVE choir will be performing at the game and it is a really fun, inexpensive family evening. If you need another form, they are available in the office.

*We are now taking reservations for Trivia Night! It is April 18th at ICD. This is an adult only event with raffles, door prizes and silent auction items. Cost is $20 per person which includes water, soda and adult beverages. Reservation forms can be found on the PTO website at www.prairieviewpto.org or in the school office. All profits from this event will be used to purchase more books for our school library as voted on at our meeting.

*And...we need a little help! We are in need of donations for the silent auction and door prizes. If your place of work could make a donation or if maybe you know someone that could help us out with a donation like gift cards, autographed items, jewelry, tickets to events, hotel room nightsâ?¦ANYTHING.. please contact Tammy Grzeskowiak at 448-0444. PLEASE NOTE WE ARE NOT ASKING PARENTS TO GO OUT AND BUY ANYTHING WE ARE LOOKING FOR FREE STUFF!!!

Don't Forget!

All Market Day orders need to be placed by Monday, March 23rd at 11 pm. Since we moved our sale due to Spring Break, the system will say pickup is on Saturday, March 28th so that it still qualifies as a March sale. This is incorrect! The actual pickup date is Tuesday, March 31st between 5:30 and 6:30 pm. If you have any questions, please let me know!

To the parents of first graders

2009-03-12T12:05:00.001-06:00

Next week (Monday, Mar. 16th) is our staff appreciation luncheon for our awesome staff at Prairie View. This month the first grade families are helping the staff appreciation committee do a St. Patty's Day themed lunch of brats and chips and pasta salads.

So far I've gotten a great response from a lot of the families, and I thank you so much for your help. We're still in need of brats and salads, so if you could donate those please let me know.

The brats need to be brought up to the school by tomorrow (Friday) so we can prep them in the am on Monday. If you can donate those bring them up to the staff lounge and put them in the refrigerator there. Please mark them "Staff Appreciation". If you can donate a salad please bring it up to the school by 10:30am on Monday morning. Disposable containers are the best.

Thanks so much for all of your help. We couldn't do this without you!
