SUBJECT: Pearre Creek PTO Newsletter - November 2022

November 2022 Update
Thank You for Supporting Invest in the Best and the Annual Panther Party!

We want to thank all of our Pearre Creek families for your generosity and support during this year's Invest in the Best campaign which was held in September.  We raised a total of $74,512.53 to support our school.  The funds are being used to purchase document cameras for every classroom, update the gymnasium lighting and sound, support teacher classroom needs, provide new library furniture and monthly teacher lunches and more!  This year we had over 70% participation rate which is absolutely amazing.  Kindergarten won a class party with 87% participation and third grade class won the coin jug competition and will also get a party.   

We loved celebrating our success at this year's "Let's Glow Panthers" Panther Party which was held on September 30th.  The students glowed in their Panther Party t-shirts, enjoyed fun games, bounce houses, food trucks and danced!  We ended the night with sliming Mrs. Alexandrow as we met our goal.  

Special thanks to Meagan Smith who was the chair of this year's Invest in the Best campaign and Courtney Sanders who was the chair of the Panther Party!

We'd also like to thank all of our sponsors including Franklin Celebrations (Courtney Sanders) who did the balloons, VIPs Entertainment (Alistair Tober) who helped with lighting and Snaps with Sally (Sally Konarzewski) who took photos of the event and all other sponsors who had booths.  You can access the event photos here.  

Student Council Hosting Food Drive

Feed America First along with Pearre Creek's Student Council will be hosting a food drive from November 2nd through November 10th.

BOO Bingo Fun

We'd like to thank all the families that participated recently in our first ever BOO Bingo family fun event that was sponsored by the PTO and held on Friday, October 28th.  We loved seeing all the kids in their costumes and their excitement when they won a bingo and got a prize!  Special thanks to our chairs of the event, Claire Reeves and Hope Hendren, our Bingo caller, Denise Boggs Eisenhauer, and all the amazing volunteers who set up and cleaned up!  We plan to bring this fun event back next year!

Tier 3 Parent Lunch Volunteers Needed

Our school staff needs your help in the cafeteria this year.  Come join us and help open chocolate milk, fruit cups, ice cream...you name it!  It's the fun place to be!  You will be partnered with a PCES employee who will help guide you.  This is a great opportunity to volunteer and assist with students.  (You must be a Tier 3 volunteer to help).    Can't help the full time allotted?  Ask a friend to split a shift with you!  Thanks so much and please call the office if you have any questions. 615-472-5150
