Say it with a GRAM!

 

PTO will be selling "GRAMS" throughout the school year! A GRAM is an inexpensive way to send a personal note and small treat to your student or teacher! For this school year we will be offering Back to school grams, BOO Grams, Turkey Grams, Winter and Holiday Grams, Valentine Grams, Luck Grams, Spring Grams, Happy Grams, Summer Fun/Graduation/End of school Grams. We also do a special "Teacher Appreciaton Week" Gram for our wonderful QCE Teachers and staff! Look for information coming home with students, information emailed via Snap Grades and information right here on the PTO Website for ordering!
 
Spirit Nights!
 
Spirit nights are held once a month at a local restaurant or eatery. The business hosting our Spirit Night has graciously offered to donate a % of the profits for that day (or time period specified by them) to our school. We try to change around our Spirit Night hosts as much as possible. In the past we have had Papa John's Pizza, Chick-fil-a, McDonalds, El Rico's, Yogurt Jungle, Domino's pizza and much more!

 
PTO Meetings
 

PTO meetings for the 2011/2012 school year will be held the 3rd Wednesday of the month UNLESS that day is a half day. In that case the meeting will be the 2nd Wednesday of the month. We have moved meetings to 3:00 pm in the library in hopes of appealing to a wider family base. We all know that the idea of a meeting isn't always the most exciting but let us assure you, we keep things short and to the point at our meetings. We are typically done in less than an hour, we give a lot of information, we ask for a lot of input/feedback and sometimes we feed you! Our goal for 2011/2012 is to have more parent attendance at meetings. KIDS ARE WELCOME to come with you! We provide coloring pages, crayons, etc to help keep them occupied. 

Volunteering for PTO is easy and painless! If you are interested in participating in any way, please let one of the PTO Board Members know! We have signup sheets available or you can let the front office or PTO member know. You do not have to be a stay at home parent to volunteer! We need help in many ways, physically being AT the school or event is just one way to help. We need volunteers for phone calls, emails, donations of time or items for specific events, etc. If you are willing to volunteer for ONE event, it does not obligate you to ALL events!  

 PTO Announcements go to parents via fliers in your child's folder/backpack, via Snap Grades (email), morning announcements, monthly newsletter and on the marquee in front of the school. If you sign up to receive PTO emails directly, please remember to check your "SPAM" folder as often times our emails get shuffled into there!


We need parent involvement! We also have periodic door prizes, raffles, snacks, pizza, desserts and refreshments. Whenever possible, we also have child care for those who bring their families with them!

Cafeteria Catering:
If your child's birthday is upcoming, you can contact the lunchroom and have a delicious, healthier alternative delivered to their classroom for the entire class.  Prices start at .50 per student and go up to $1.00 per student.  The contacts for the lunchroom are (480)987-5983 or cweekly@qcusd.org.
