PTA News

Thanksgiving Lunch -Thursday, November 21. Come to help serve the students and their families during Camelot’s annual Thanksgiving lunch. Sign up before or after your student’s lunch to help serve turkey, mashed potatoes and the works! Sign up here!

Fun Run Update. We have raised over $15,000 so far! Please continue turning in pledge envelopes until December 6th to be eligible for raffle prizes, the hoverboard grand prize, and to help us reach our $20,000 goal! We have achieved our first 3 school-wide milestones. See the milestones here. Pajama Day was 11/1 and Music at lunch will be celebrated Wed 11/13.

PTA Meeting and Be SMART Presentation -- December 3, 7:15pm. The Be SMART program was created as a response to helplessness that accompanies the rising gun violence in America. This expressly non-political presentation starts a conversation about this public health crisis and safe gun storage as something we can all do to keep our children, families, and communities safe. 

Book Fair Volunteers. Our school book fair is coming up the first week of December (12/2-12/6). Ms. Vickers needs volunteers to help set up the book far and then work the store during the fair. Sign up here to help out.

Donuts with Grownups - December 5th, 8:30 am. Parents/guardians of K-2 students, mark your calendars and come enjoy a doughnut with your student.  Also, don’t forget to pop into the Book Fair and pick up your student’s favorite books at the book fair in the library! (Parents of 3-6 students, we will have another Donuts with Grownups in January for you and your students!)
