The Windham PTA is offering an Essay Contest to all graduating 8th grade students from Windham Middle School. Students will be asked to write and submit a 300-word essay on the topic, “Community: How could you impact your community through your services, ideas, efforts, and actions?”

All entries will be read and reviewed by a selection committee of Windham PTA board members, and evaluated on structure, grammar, content, creativity, and adherence to theme. The committee chairperson will average the scores of the selection committee and determine the winner. In the event of a tie, the entire committee will meet to choose the winning essay.

The winner will be presented with an award in the amount of $150 at the PTA's Academic Recognition Night.

Entries must be submitted to essay.contest@windhampta.org by May 18, 2008.  Please submit all entries as an email attachment (.txt, .doc or .pdf format).
 

GOLDEN BROOK SCHOOL ANNUAL ICE CREAM SOCIAL
Thursday, May 22, 2008
6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

All Golden Brook School students and their families along with all incoming first grade students for the fall 2008 and their families are invited to attend this annual event.

Make your own sundae with the help of our “Super Scoopers”, the amazing Golden Brook School teachers! The event is free and open to the public, though we will be accepting donations to purchase a new, 35-foot parachute for use in Golden Brook School PE Classes.

The Ice Cream Social is a great way for incoming first grade students to spend time at Golden Brook School and a terrific way to see friends, old and new! Hope to see you there!

 

Center School's Book Fair was very successful, taking in $14,587!

The Center School Volunteer Coordinators would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the volunteers--both PTA volunteers and general school volunteers--who have helped out at center school this year. Your efforts are truly appreciated!  For more volunteer opportunities, contact volunteer.cs@windhampta.org.

Many volunteers will be needed for Field Days:
     May  29, 2008 - 3rd Grade Field Day
     June 03, 2008 - 4th Grade Field Day
     June 05, 2008 - 5th Grade Field Day

As the volunteer coordinator for the Box Tops for Education program, I’d like to thank everyone for their support this year. Thanks to the contributions from many dedicated Box Tops clippers, the program raised over $1900 this school year.

Even though the school year is coming to an end, you can continue to make a difference for our schools all summer long. Keep on collecting Box Tops from hundreds of participating products--each Box Top is worth 10¢ for your school. The pink collection bins will remain in the foyers through the last day of school.  After then, please hold on to your Box Tops until school resumes in the Fall.

You can also help the program get a head start for the 2008-09 school year by simply shopping your favorite online stores. Go to www.boxtops4education.com, designate which school you wish to support and then find your online store through the Marketplace link. Up to 8% of each qualifying purchase is donated to our schools at no extra cost to you.

Thank you for choosing to make a difference for our schools with Box Tops!
