Good Evening! April is winding down and so is the 2009-10 school year. There are still many opportunities to have fun and support Leopold.
The annual Leopold Garage Sale is this Saturday, May 1st from 8:00 am – 12:00 noon in the cafeteria. Your generous donations are what make this sale a success year after year. Bring your items to school tomorrow, Friday, April 30th anytime between 1:00 and 7:00 pm. You do not need to price individual items nor do you need to unload your boxes and bags…but we won't stop you if you'd like to help us set up! No donation is too small – and all proceed are benefit our kids at Leopold. A tax receipt for your donation is available – just ask any one of the volunteers setting up for the sale. Return on Saturday, May 1st to search for hidden treasures.
After shopping at the garage sale, bring your kids and their bikes to the Bike Rodeo from 12:00 – 2:00 pm on May 1st. This fun event is sponsored by the PFO along with Budget Bicycle Center and the Madison Department of Transportation. Lunch will be served to participating kids and there will be plenty of good fun and cool prizes to win, including 2 bikes! Free bike inspections and helmet fittings will be available and volunteers will help kids navigate through a safety course. The bike rodeo will be held rain or shine – look for us in front of the building in the circle drive or in the gym if it is raining. See you there!
Next week is Staff Appreciation Week at Leopold. Parents will treat staff to good food, lively conversation and a well-deserved break from their routine during lunch on Tuesday, May 4th. Thank you to everyone who responded to the call for help. If you signed up to bring food, please bring it to school at or before 10:00 am on Tuesday to allow time to set up. Remember to either use disposable containers or mark your items with your child's name and room so volunteers can return items to your child on Tuesday. Unmarked items will be on a table in the lobby after school. Staff will also enjoy a continental breakfast on Friday morning. Moms don't have all the fun – the dads will serve goodies to staff on Friday. Thank you to all Leopold staff who do what you do every day for our children!
Next week also provides you with an opportunity for dinner out and dinner in, all the while supporting Leopold with your purchases.
- Tuesday, May 4th is Leopold Night at Noodles and Co, 2981 Triverton Pike Drive in Fitchburg. From 4 – 8 pm 25% of your purchase at Noodles is returned to Leopold PFO to help support our school. Check out their online menu (www.noodles.com) and make plans to eat out on Tuesday.
- On Thursday, May 6th, pick up dinner at MyMenu on McKee Road next to Super Target and have a night out in your own dining room. Browse through their entire product line on their website (www.mymenu.com). Mention Leopold at check out and 10% of your purchase is donated to Leopold PFO.
That's it for now. I need to dig through the toy box while the kids are sleeping…shhh…they'll never miss the cars from inside the Cheerios box. If they do I'll bring them to the garage sale, coins in hand, and they can buy them back on Saturday. Have a great weekend and Happy May Day!
