President's Message
By Sue Manley 
Wow!  I knew our auction was getting some amazing donations, but after reading the Silent Auction program, I am in awe of the job that Angela Roupe, Mary Sue McClintock, the room parents and the entire silent auction committee have done to get ready for this event.  I look forward to seeing you all there this Thursday night.  Look for me, I'll be the one selling 50/50 drawing tickets, and please, come up and let me know any questions or suggestions you have about the PTA.  As we wind down this school year it is a good time to look back and consider what we are doing well and where we can improve.
 
When the excitement of the bidding is over, we will hold a quick general membership meeting to vote in our new PTA executive committee officers:
Treasurer: Jim Brooksbank
1st VP/Finance - Renee Kreiser
2nd VP/Programs - Leslie VanHimbergen
4th VP/Publicity - Sara Fender

Happy Bidding!

Sue Manley
SGES PTA President
Destination Imagination
Chick-fil-A Spirit Night for SGES Destination Imagination is May 15th!
Please come out to Chick-fil-A @ Short Pump Crossing on Wednesday, May 15th between 5-8PM.  Tell the cashier you are supporting Shady Grove Destination Imagination and we will receive a % of the proceeds.  Spin the wheel for prizes - 100% of donations go toward the teams' trip to Global Finals!

The DI Teams will also be selling lemonade, water and treats at the Silent Auction/End of Year Picnic.
Silent Auction/End of Year Picnic
Join us Thursday, May 16 from 5:00-8:00pm to celebrate the end to a fabulous school year!  Pack a picnic dinner or pick up your pre-ordered dinner from the Silver Diner tent and enjoy a great night!   Head straight to the registration table when you get there to get your family bid number for the auction and your ticket for the iPad Mini door prize.  You MUST get your ticket to be entered in the drawing!  Cash, check and charge will be available for silent auction bidding.  However, don't forget your cash for the dunk tank ($2.00 for 3 throws) and 50/50 drawing ($5.00 for 10 tickets).   

Pre-bidding for the auction concludes Tuesday so be sure to get in all bid forms on time.  We won't be able to accept bid forms after Tuesday.  If you can't join us at the auction but still want to contribute to the Book Room, we are taking donations to "Buy a Shelf" of books.  See the program sent home last week for details.   Everyone benefits from this Book Room so be sure to have a role in its' creation!

See you all on Thursday for the Auction!  Keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates!  Also check out our Program so you know exactly what you want ahead of time.  It's going to be a great night!

SGES Supports Ms. Turner

Hospitality
During Teacher Appreciation Week, the PTA and Chipotle sponsored a Cinco de Mayo luncheon for our amazing SGES teachers and staff!  Our wonderful Hospitality volunteers also treated them to lots of yummy desserts!  During the luncheon, the PTA gifted each teacher with a cardinal Tervis Tumbler.  The teachers were thrilled!  Thank you to all our parents that give their time, talent and treasure to the SGES PTA.  We could not have provided this gift without everyone's generosity.  Thank you also to Sue Manley (PTA Pres) for coordinating and decorating the tumblers!  AND - thank you to Chipotle for donating the burritos for the luncheon!
               
In April, we hosted a Spring Luncheon.  The chocolate fountain and tulip raffle prizes were the big hits of the day!
(attached are a couple of pictures from the April luncheon)

Again, thank you to all of our fantastic and talented Hospitality volunteers!!
