Seeking Outstanding Parent Volunteer Nominations
Deadline to Nominate:  October 5, 2012
thank you

 

We know that our PTA and our Foundation are only as good as our volunteers.  And we have fabulous volunteers! 

Please take a moment to consider nominating someone that you feel has gone above and beyond to making Nickajack better for ALL of OUR kids! 
Your nominee will get a chance to be recognized for their efforts in front of their children at the next school character assembly.   

Please note, while we do appreciate all of our PTA and Foundation Board Members, we ask that you only nominate them for contributions to the school that fall outside their core duties and responsibilities as set forth by their positions.  Not sure?  Then nominate them and we will make sure they're appropriately recognized. 

Nomination forms can be found HERE or on the PTA Website. Please complete the form, scan, and email it to Molly Talanczuk,  or drop to the front office for the PTA Mail Box.

Playground Committee Needs Your Help
Volunteers for watering new landscape
Helping Hands
 
The playground committee needs volunteers to water the newly installed plants around the K-2 playground.  They need to be watered 3 out of 7 days for 20 minutes.  Hoses will be placed along the fence of the playground closest to the car rider line. Simply move the black dial where the water comes from the wall outside of the cafeteria to begin the water flow.  Water the plants along the fence at the base of each plant. And then close the black dial to shut off the water. 
Watering can be done any time of day and should be staggered throughout the 7 day week.  Ideally, we would like a family to commit to a whole 3 day watering block.  If it's a rainy week, watering can be done less than 2 days.
 
If you have additional question contact Tricia Grantham or
