News from the Prez

Good Evening. Are you ready for some more snow shoveling? We may get
another chance to dig out in the next couple of days. I'm
curious…what if Jimmy the Ground Hog can't
even get out of his hole to look for a shadow? Does winter continue
or is spring around the corner? I suppose he has staff on call
waiting to clear a path for him…hmmm…will they come to my house and
dig out the driveway? I suppose not…guess I better plan ahead so I
don't miss any of the events happening this week.

A big thank you goes out to everyone who made last Friday's movie
night a success. We had a nice crowd and everyone seemed to have a
fun time. If you have any movie night suggestions, feel free to send
me an email
and I'll share with the planning group. Right now we do not have
another one on the calendar, but that could change if there is
interest.

Our Box Tops collection contest continues, with the first deadline
happening tomorrow, January 31. We will tally the clippings and award
a pizza party to 3 winning classrooms (one each in grades K-1, 2-3 and
4-5) for the most Box Tops collected through 1/31/2011. If you are
sending Box Tops to school with your child tomorrow, make sure the
collection sheets or container is clearly labeled with your child's
and teacher's name so the correct classroom is credited. The second
collection period runs from February 1 – April 30 so don't stop
clipping. Remember, every collection sheet is worth $2.50 to our
school. Thanks for clipping!

The Leopold Book Fair
begins Monday with the kids' preview during the school day. Families
are invited to shop the book fair in the Leopold LMC on Tuesday and
Wednesday, February 1-2, from 8am – 7pm and on Thursday morning,
February 3 until about 10am. See you at the fair!

Tuesday is also Leopold Chuck E Cheese night. The PFO has once again
teamed up with Chuck E Cheese at 438 Grand Canyon Drive in Madison to
bring a night of food, fun and fundraising to the Leopold community.
All purchases made from 3:00 – 9:00 pm will bring a 15% donation back
to Leopold. A sticker worth free tokens will come home with (or
on!) your child on Tuesday. You can also visit the Chuck E Cheese
website to find some great coupons

The weather sounds like it could get a bit messy so please take care
when planning your evening on Tuesday. If there are any changes to
this schedule we will do our best to get word out via email and on the
PFO Blog (www.leopoldPFO.blogspot.com
