PTO HIGHLIGHTS
Picture Day is THIS THURSDAY, September 11th!
Some things to think about before picture day as they are the most common reasons we see kids get retakes:
Do you want them to remove/keep glasses on?
If they're wearing a cardigan or fleece do you want them to take it off?
Hair up/down/behind their ears?
Remind them to SMILE!
Speaking of retakes.....they will be Tuesday, October 28th in case your child has to miss or you are not happy with their picture.
Any questions? Contact Gina Budde at ginavbudde@gmail.com.

Our Purpose
All parents of children enrolled at Spring Avenue Elementary School are members of the Parent-Teacher Organization. The organization is led by an executive board of parents volunteering their time.
This group’s mission is to support the mission and vision of Spring Avenue School by working in cooperation with parents, administration, faculty, and the community.
The purpose of the SPTO is to:
Build a strong school community by engaging in communication which brings the home, school, and the larger district community into a closer relationship.
Enrich each student’s educational experience by providing supplemental services, goods, equipment and/or funding that will enhance the student’s academic, social, behavioral, and/or emotional development.
Sponsor school community activities that will foster family and community outreach and growth.
Facilitate various fundraising activities to support our mission and objective.
