Note from Mrs. Dodd
We have enjoyed the month of November and are looking forward to December with your kids. Thank you for sharing your wonderful children with us. Our 1st Annual “Grand” Tea Party was wonderful! Our kids were so excited to share this day with all of you that came to share cookies and beverages. A huge thanks to the volunteer grandparents that supported the kids that needed a family member that day! We look forward to another opportunity for families to engage with their children during our December music concert. Happy December!

PTO Meeting 12/6 @ 4:15 Intermediate Library
Staff Christmas Goodies! To say thank you to our staff for Christmas, PTO will provide yummy snacks on December 12th. There will be an email sent for a Sign Up Genius to sign up for snacks and goodies to bring, so be watching! If you did not receive an email and would like to bring something, please call the office and provide your email so we can send you the sign up.
Spangle’s Night!- Wednesday, December 15th from 5-8 pm we will have our first Spangle’s Night of this school year! Join us for a fun night of eating out and let them know you are with Circle Towanda Elementary. A flyer will be sent out closer to time, and your child will wear a sticker home after school that day.
Gambino’s Night- Thank you for all that participated at Gambino’s Night!
Amazon Teacher Wish Lists: Want to help provide things for the classrooms but don’t know what teachers need? We have set up a wish list for each of our teachers to fill out as they have needs through Amazon. If you are interested, please see our PTO Facebook page.
BOXTOPS!! Since the Boxtop company has switched from clipping BoxTops to scanning your receipt through their app, we have seen a drastic decrease in participation. PLEASE consider downloading the APP and taking the time to scan your receipt when you shop! It’s super simple and helps our schools a lot!
Thank you for all your support! It really does MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
