Now that we have all emerged from the "Spring Break is over" blues, it is time to look ahead to the final 9 weeks of the school year. The calendar is filled with PFO events and opportunities in the next month.
The April PFO Meeting is this Tuesday, April 13th at 7:00pm. Our guest speaker is Erik Kass, MMSD Assistant Superintendent for Business Services. He will review with us the 2010-11 budget issues, along with where we are in the process and what will be happening over the next 2 months. Topics covered may include the tax impacts, loss in funding from the State of Wisconsin, and programs on the list for reductions. You can read more about the proposed 2010-11 District budget at http://drupal.madison.k12.wi.us/node/6001
In case your kids haven't reminded you, Fun Fest is this Saturday, April 17th from 12:00 noon – 3:00 pm. If you have not yet volunteered to help, please contact Lisa (Shebesta@charter.net). Thank you to those who said "YES" when called by your child's class rep parent volunteer. A reminder will come home later this week so you know where to go and when. Have you purchased food/game and raffle tickets yet? You can still send your order and payment (cash or check payable to "Leopold PFO") to school very early this week. Tickets will come home via backpack by April 15th so don't delay. You can also purchase tickets at the door on Saturday. Good food, fun for kids and great raffle prizes – once again it's shaping up to be a great event. See you there!
I can feel it in the air – garage sale season is almost here! Leopold will hold its annual garage sale on Saturday, May 1st from 8:00 am – 12:00 noon in the cafeteria. As you sort through all the winter gear, clean out closets and uncover toys that no one wants anymore, bag them up and bring them to school on Friday, April 30th. If you can help with set up on Friday or during the sale on Saturday, please contact me (miltonmoose@charter.net). If your neighborhood is having a sale the weekend of May 1st, consider posting a sign at the end of your driveway directing people to our sale. All proceeds benefit Leopold kids so stop by and shop. You never know what treasures you might find.
Saturday, May 1st is a busy day at Leopold. There will be a Bike Rodeo (rain or shine!) from 12:00 noon – 2:00 pm. Bike and helmet inspections, lunch, prizes…more information will come home soon. Save the date and plan to bike to school on Saturday, May 1st!
Staff appreciation week is May 3 – 7 and planning is underway. In the next couple of weeks you will have the opportunity to help make this a special event for the great staff at Leopold. Watch your kids' backpacks for more details.
Leopold Noodles night is Tuesday, May 4 (2981 Triverton Pike Drive, Fitchburg) – mention Leopold when placing your order and 25% of the proceeds will be donated to Leopold PFO
Whew…spring is a busy time at Leopold. Thank you to everyone for helping make these events a success. Remember…everything we do is for our kids and our school.
