PTSA Fundraising Feedback Needed!!

 

The PTSA is looking at options for upcoming fundraising events, and we would greatly appreciate your opinion. We are contemplating an auction and have a few questions related to it as well as methods of fundraising in general. It will only take a couple minutes of your time, but the feedback will be invaluable! The survey can be found here:http://sdrv.ms/11NX5xa

 

The Horace Mann PTSA thanks you for your time!

Volunteers Needed: Health Room

 

The Health Room needs a few more volunteers to help from 12:00-1:00. Can you help once a week?

 

Did you know that Horace Mann's school nurse divides her time between a few elementary schools and is not able to be available daily?

 

We rely on our wonderful parent volunteers to help out at the lunch time recess.

 

Contact: Diana Janetzki for scheduling details. dojanetzki@frontier.com

Save the Date for Science Fair!

All students are welcome and encouraged to submit an entry to this year's science fair. More details about location, time, registration and deadlines will be provided in upcoming newsletters.

Save the Date for Art Night!
Friday, June 7th is the 13th annual Horace Mann Family Art Night Festival. Plan to make it a family fun night!

 

Art Is Everywhere - Looking Beyond The Canvas

This year, we're hoping that our theme will inspire the students to see that art IS everywhere. Architecture, graffiti, advertising, cinema, photography, nature, guerrilla art, food and even in the trash (recycle!). There is art everywhere if you just take a look beyond the canvas.

 

We are continuing the tradition of kids proudly showing you their artwork, make'n take art, art themed games and the Mann Art Gallery as well as adding new activities and food.

 

Art Night may seem far away, but we're already gathering ideas and making plans. You are welcome to join us in a meeting! Your input and talents are valuable. Send Annie or Lara an email if you're interested in helping make Art Night fantastic.

 

Look for more information and new announcements as we approach Friday, June 7th!
