DEAR TWIN GROVES FAMILIES,

Welcome back to school!  It was great seeing so many friendly faces at Locker Set Up Day. We really appreciate the help from all our volunteers!   

Thank you to Wendy Friedman and Dana Friedman for organizing the School Kitz, Tracey Wright and Wendy Wunsch for running our school store, Sandy McArthy, Kim Dempsey, and Susie Sokol for handling gym uniforms, Elisa Nusinow for starting off our checkbook fundraiser, and our Special Lunch (Linda Kull, Ellen DeLay, Janet Ventrella, and Maria Papageorgiou) and Dessert Day (Karyn Gitler, Jane Oh, Wendy Wunsch, and Julie Bloom) chairpersons for planning a year of treats for our students.

Thanks also to the Hospitality Committee, Michelle Mottlowitz and Tracey Wright, for preparing a wonderful breakfast for the Twin Groves Staff on Tuesday. 

If you didn’t have a chance to order Special Lunch and Dessert Day, it’s not too late!  Select the links here or you can find the order forms on the Twin Groves PTO Website - just send your order to school with your child. The first Dessert Day and Special Lunch is soon. Those order forms are due next week (Special Lunch on 8/29/13 and Dessert Day on 8/30/13).

Our Checkbook Fundraiser is back this year with lots of great coupons from local vendors!  If you didn’t get one at Locker Set-up, we still have some left.  Simply send in a check for $35 made out to Twin Groves PTO in an envelope marked “Checkbook”  with your student’s name, and it will be sent home with your child.

Magazine Sales will be kicking off this fundraising event on September 12^th, but it is not too early to start ordering magazines to support Twin Groves!  Just click on the link below and order through the account number provided (# 2537538).  There will be extra incentives this year for people who order subscriptions on-line.  For more information Click here.

You can also still sign up to help the various PTO committees by clicking on this link to the Volunteer Sign-up.  

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

We are looking forward to a great year!
