The Sixth- grade leadership seminar is helping our nurse, Mrs. Richardson, raise awareness for food allergies.  For Food Allergy Awareness Week we will ask you to wear a specific color each day according to what day of the week it is. 

 

The colors are as follows:      

 

Monday: Wear WHITE for dairy

Tuesday:  No school/ Teacher In-service

Wednesday: Wear YELLOW to represent gluten

Thursday: Wear TAN or BROWN to represent nuts

Friday: Wear PINK or RED to represent seafood

           

You will receive a raffle ticket at lunch if you clearly wear the color for that day.  YOU MUST WEAR LOTS of that color, not just a little bit to qualify. Your ticket will be placed in a bin and ONE NAME will be drawn per grade per day.  At the end of each day, the 4 grade winners will be announced, and then you can pick up your prize.  You could a win a $5 gift card to Kiwi, Starbucks, Five Below, Panera, or Chipotle!

We also want you to learn some FACTS about FOOD ALLERGIES.  During Food Allergy Awareness week you should look all around school for colored papers with INFO about each type of food allergy.  Every day a TRIVIA question based on these facts will be read on morning announcements.  Your HOMEROOM will record group answers all week long, and on Friday all HOMEROOMS who get these 100% correct will be entered in a prize drawing.  The winning homeroom will receive gift bags for each member.

We hold monthly PTO meetings which it is useful to attend and we try to schedule these to accommodate as many board members as possible. An added advantage is that the meetings are typically attended by the Principal, Matt Gibson, so it is a great opportunity to get a feel for what is going on at the school.

Joining the board is a fantastic way to get involved in the life of Valley Forge Middle School and to help shape PTO events and activities for our children. If you would like to find out more, please contact Sarah Culbert at 610-608-8501.
