Family Literacy Night and Spring Book Fair

Hello everyone!

I hope you have been enjoying the warmer weather :)

We have some upcoming events I want to share with you.  The discount card fundraiser will end on April 15.  All orders need to be turned into the office by then.  Beginning April 25, PTA will be selling field box tickets to the May 7, Springfield Cardinals game for Bingham Spirit Night.  Tickets are $9.00 each, and will be available until May 3rd.

On May 3rd we will have our Families are Wild about Literacy Night from 5:30 to 7:00pm.  Presenters will be reading stories about various animals--and some animals will be there too-- in the classrooms and Dickerson Park Zoo will also be on hand with animals.  There is no cost to attend, but PTA will be selling concessions in the gym such as pizza, cupcakes, chips and soda.  We will also be raffling off 50 free books and doing a raffle for any remaining Cardinals tickets ($1.00 raffle ticket per chance).  PTA could use about 5 volunteers to help with serving food, assisting teachers and raffle sales.

During the week of May 2-6, PTA will host our Spring Buy one Get one Free Book Fair.  The fair will be open before and after school and during Literacy Night.  I am looking for some volunteers to work after school hours.  Any times between 3:15 and 5:30 M,W,Th,F would be great and Tues 3:15-7:30 times are also available.  Additionally, we need some stuffed animals to decorate the book fair in our Wild About Animals theme.

Email PTA or call Shannon if you can help!
