The book fair is coming! The book fair will take place December 10-12th. Volunteers are needed to help with the planning, set-up/clean-up and running the fair. The Safe Routes to School Initiative (SRTS) is a new initiative that East Prairie is adopting to enhance our children's health and well-being, ease traffic congestion near our school, and improve air quality.
To kick off this new initiative we are incorporating "Walking Wednesdays." Students and their families are encouraged to walk to school every Wednesday beginning November 5th until the end of the school year. Students who walk to school will receive a stamp on their hand to show that they have chosen a healthy way to start the day. Our hope is that 'Walking Wednesdays" will start a new and healthy trend at East Prairie. Want to learn more about SRTS? Click here to access the SRTS website. Want to know what is going on in your PTA? The minutes from the October 7th meeting and Treasurer's Report can be accessed through the links below. The next meeting is set for Tuesday, November 4th at 7 pm in the East Prairie library.
PTA Fall Fundraiser:
The deadline for printed order forms for the PTA Fall Fundraiser is tomorrow, Wednesday, October 15th. All order forms and payments should be turned into the PTA mailbox or given to your student’s homeroom teacher. Payments may be made by cash or checks payable to EAST PRAIRIE PTA. Online sales will continue until December 14th at epifunds.com (Group ID: EAS211). Remember that PTA receives 50% profit on all items sold, and for every $100 in sales, families will earn a chance to win an iPad mini. For more information, visit the PTA Quick Link on the East Prairie School Website: http://eastprairiepta.weebly.com/updates-and-minutes Spirit Wear – Please read if you placed an order: The Spirit Wear has arrived, and your child should be bringing your order home from school today or tomorrow. Two quick notes to keep in mind when you receive your items: 1) The manufacturer suggested we go up a size on the youth hoodies, so if you ordered one, it will be one size bigger than you indicated on your form; and 2) the logo on the pants was printed higher than it appeared on the order form. If you'd like yours replaced, or if you have any other questions, please contact Niki Antonakos (847-372-2432 or[email protected]). Thank you for supporting the East Prairie PTA! ANNOUNCING FALL FUNDRAISER PRIZE INCENTIVE iPad Mini Our PTA Fall Fundraiser is in progress! (You should have received your EPI catalog at the end of September.) All families who sell $100 in merchandise will be entered into a drawing for an iPad Mini. Families will earn extra chances to win for every $100 they raise (i.e. $100 = 1 chance, $200 = 2 chances, etc.). Sales by students in the same family will be combined. The drawing for the iPad Mini will take place after the online sales deadline of December 14th. (Visit epifunds.com for online orders. Group ID is EAS211) Reminder: Printed order forms and money are due by Wednesday, October 15th. For more information, see attached flyer or contact Cindy Payne at [email protected]. Our goal is to raise $5,000 in sales ($2,500 in profits) to fund PTA programs for our students. Monetary donations rather than sales are also welcome. Thank you for your support! *iPad Mini has been made possible by an EPS donor
