A Message from your PTSA Presidents
Hello Stillwater Hawks! We have had a very busy fall and are well on our way to winter and our 2 week break. Our first fundraiser, the Hawk Hop-a-thon, was a huge success! A big shout out to Sarah McKenzie for all the work she put into our Hop-a-thon! Thank you everyone for being so supportive. We are so happy to announce that this 100% profit fundraiser met our goal! We raised $8,158! For all you lovely SWE PTSA members, the 2014-2015 directory went out in midNovember. I hope you all got a copy and are loving it like we are! It’s a great way for your children to get in touch with friends, new and old! Thank you Dawn Spencer and Jessica Coon for all of your work on this huge project! Reflections went off without a hitch once again thanks to our wonderful chairs Alison Hawkins and Brandi Painter. We have some very talented children, who we acknowledged with our Reflections Gala. We have many children moving on to the next level of the competition.
Family Fun Night was a Bingo Night this year. For the first time ever, the prizes were all amazing desserts! Thank you to everyone who helped make these beautiful desserts to share, to everyone who played and all those wonderful volunteers who helped us set up and breakdown the bingo night. We cannot do these Family Fun Nights without our volunteers and you are very much appreciated. Family Fun Night is a great way to help support Stillwater Elementary’s Book Fair and bring families together! It was such a success that we are thinking of doing one in the spring. We are looking forward to our next events.
The Elf Workshop is this Friday! We have changed it up a little bit this year. We are very excited and cannot wait to show you our fun, new ideas. We have the gym and 6 classrooms this year! The crafts will be spread out, so it won’t be so crazy in the gym and there will be plenty of tables for dining in the gym. The first 100 families will receive a Stillwater PTSA tote bag with several holiday crafts to make at home. So don’t be late!
When we get back from the holiday break we will start recruiting for the talent show! Auditions will be January 8 & 9, so get your friends together over the holiday and work out your talents. We hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday break. Best wishes for a happy, healthy, positive 2015!
