Tonight kicked off a new season of planning for the Bluffton-Harrison Elementary PTO. We had lots to discuss--including an exciting new fundraiser called Market Day. Watch your child's backpack mail for more information coming soon!
The Scholastic Book Fair will begin on August 22nd and last all week. During that week, Donuts with Dad will is Tuesday, August 23rd from 7-8 am and A "Back to School Night" Ice Cream Social will be held on Thursday, August 25th from 5-7 pm.

I think I am more anxious for Friday than my kids--I'm sending one to middle school and my youngest, Jonah, off to Kindergarten. I keep asking myself, is he ready? Are they ready for him? We shall see! Enjoy these last few days of summer!

Volunteer to help your Child's Teacher
Ask your child's teacher if they need help. School budget cuts have eliminated teacher aides and our teachers need help. Visit the school occasionally and help copy papers, decorate bulletin boards, or work with a small group of children. Your child's teacher will appreciate it and the kids will learn even more. Your child will like seeing you at school too!
