Dear Stenwood Staff, Students, and Parents,
Did you attend our PTA sponsored Ice Cream Social? What a great time we had that night! That is one example of the wonderful events that our PTA plans for us. If you’ve never attended another school, you wouldn’t know that attending such an event and not having to pay for the ice cream is actually quite rare; most schools charge as a means of fundraising for the school. At Stenwood, our PTA uses the funds raised to host these fun gatherings. I share this to ask that you consider donating to our PTA if you have not done so already this school year. 55% of our school community has currently participated in our Help the Hive campaign. Wouldn’t it be great if we achieved 100% participation? No donation amount is too small.
Today, you are receiving a paper copy of the information below pertaining to Dreambox, a math software program that our PTA purchased for our school this year. This is yet another example of how your donations benefit our school. Thank you so very much. A portion of our PTA meeting on Wednesday, October 12th from 7:00-8:00 will be dedicated to an overview of the Dreambox program. We hope you can join us.
Sincerely,
Peggy Dammeyer
Principal
