Lots of great programs!

 

Thank you to all of the families who helped with International Night. Everyone enjoyed tasting food from around the world, learning about other countries from activities and displays, and watching the cultural fashion show and performances. We had a great turn out and everyone had a wonderful time. This great community event could not have happened without your help. Thank you also to the Horace Mann PTSA who helped sponsor the event. Thank you everyone! - Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Davies, Mrs. Ernst, Mrs. Trotter, and Mrs. Weber.

Horace Mann Calendar

Moms and Dads of Horace Mann students - if your child is returning to Horace Mann next fall, please consider taking an active role in the Horace Mann PTSA. All of the wonderful programs and events at Horace Mann would not be possible without our wonderful parent volunteers.

 

Some positions we need volunteers for include:

 

Co-Treasurer (still need 1 volunteer)

These officers are responsible for the financial operations of the PTSA. Receive and disperse PTSA funds, bank deposits and reconciliations. Prepare monthly treasurer reports, maintain cash box at PTSA events, prepare and file annual tax returns, pay membership dues on time, file all other required forms and prepare budget for new fiscal year.

 

Co-VP School Services & Volunteers(still need 1 volunteer)

These officers are responsible for services and programs that assist the school in achieving some of its fundamental goals not directly related to the educational curriculum (i.e. Special Services, Safe Arrival, Health Room, Health Screening, School Pictures, School Supplies, Awards, Emergency Prep, Parking Lot Patrol, Graduation, Kindergarten Registration, Transitions and more). These VPs manage the PTSA volunteer list and identify key volunteers to coordinate each school service program and support them as needed.

 

Co-VP Fundraising (still need 1 volunteer)

Responsible for driving efforts that generate funds for PTSA programs. Identify key coordinators to support ongoing programs (i.e. Box Tops & Amazon affiliate) as well as event coordinators for special events that occur at various times throughout the year (i.e. Bingo Night, Pass the Hat, Carnival, Movie Night) and support them as needed.

 

Plus there are a handful of programs that need a leader - Hospitality, Knights of the Multiplication, Safe Arrival, After School Programs, Assemblies and Yearbook.

 

If you would like to nominate someone, or nominate yourself, please email Satin Brennan at satin_san@hotmail.com or Jean Chenevert at jeanmhamlin@yahoo.com

 

Seeking an After School Enrichment Coordinator!

Do your kids enjoy the after school enrichment classes like Art, Chess and Dodgeball?

 

To keep this program going, we need a parent volunteer to help plan and schedule these classes. You would work with our current coordinator, Gretchen, to run the program, starting in September 2014.

 

If you're interested please contact Gretchen Connors or Sara Buckley 

Dear 3rd and 4th grade parents,

Service Club is a group of 4th and 5th grade students whose goal is to reach out and touch other people's lives in a positive way. Our projects are fun and worthwhile, benefitting both Horace Mann and the community around us. Some examples of Service Club activities:  Decorations for local Senior Centers Banners & signs for Horace Mann events, Staff Appreciation, Coat and Food Drives, Valentines Post Office.  We meet most Friday mornings in the Art and Science Room (during first recess 10:45-11:15) and the students look forward to it each week. We invite you to join us any Friday that works for you, to see what we are all about and how things run. There is no obligation to run meetings or be the head of the club. We are just in need of parent help for the rest of this year and next year.

We hope to see you there!

Art Night is soon approaching!

Horace Mann Elementary Little Library

Horace Mann is getting a new library - a little one.  The new Little Library will be located outside the front of the school and is to benefit the entire community and the students of Horace Mann Elementary.

 

What is a Little Free Library?

It's a "take a book, return a book" gathering place where students / neighbors share their favorite literature and stories. In its most basic form, a Little Free Library is a box full of books where anyone may stop by and pick up a book (or two) and bring back another book to share. 

The library will be initially stocked with donated books from the School and the PTSA.

Check it out next week.
