CALLING ALL CHEFS! 

 

We need you for the Strandwood Auction! The Culinary Delights auction item has long been a popular item at our auction. How it works is the winner will be brought a meal that feeds 6-8 people. The meal will include an appetizer, main dish and dessert. This is where you come in. Pick a month that works best for you April-November. Then pick a theme: vegetarian, BBQ, or whatever you like to cook best. You can team up with a friend to produce an exciting meal and here's the best part. If the winner likes your dinner the best you will win a gift card to a local restaurant. Please contact Ashley Adams right away if you are interested in participating. Specific days are worked out between you and the item winner. Thanks so much!

Got books you no longer want? Want to get some new books to take their place? Bring gently used books to your classroom from March 3 - March 6 and receive "tickets" for the book swap. The swap will be during school on March 7.

 

Volunteers are needed to help collect and organize the books throughout the week and to work at the swap. Please email amanda.szakats@gmail.com if you have 30 minutes to one hour to volunteer your time! You can also sign up to volunteer here: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D4FABAB29A5FA7-parent.

 

Rules:

 

1.    Everyone gets at least one ticket, so that everyone can participate in the swap.

2.    If you bring more than 2 books, you will get a swap ticket for each book over that amount. For example, two books gets you one extra ticket, three books gets you two extra tickets, etc.

3.    All books should be third through seventh grade level. No little kid books or grown-up books. No activity books.

4.    You can earn a maximum of 12 tickets (for thirteen books).

5.    If you have more than 13 books you want to donate, please do! Extra books are used for teacher classrooms and charities.

 

Attention 5th grade parents! Are you facing the prospect of middle school next year and wondering about the future? Looking to get involved and meet new parents, teachers and administrators? We need your help! There are several open positions on the Pleasant Hill Middle School PTSA Board. It's not too early to jump in. Remember past Strandwood PTA President Sue Noack? She's our PTSA President and her child is only in 6th grade! Please me directly at pcturner@sbcglobal.net. I would love to discuss the open volunteer positions, levels of commitment/time, etc. Thanks so much!

Cindy Turner, PHMS PTSA Parliamentarian
