Join us for a Spring Fling at Family Fun Night
Come to the Skillin Gym on Friday, April 28, 6:00-7:30 PM and welcome spring with other Skillin families at a night of fun at school!
Activities include a Bunny Hop cupcake walk, upcycled planting craft, bird kite making, outdoor games, and a book swap.
We need your help making the Spring Fling fun for everyone!
Book Swap: Please bring your unwanted books to the office by April 27th so that all students who attend TGIF Family Night will go home with a book!
Planting Craft: We need your cans! Turn in empty, clean soup size cans for our gardening craft project. Have your student drop the empty cans in the labeled bin at the front office.
Note that this is not a drop off event, all children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian
PTA Monthly Meeting is Wednesday
The next PTA monthly meeting is Wednesday, April 12 at 6:00pm in the Skillin Art Room and online. Join us to discuss events from the past month and align on upcoming activities. Here's some of the main topics to be discussed:
TGIF Spring Fling: We’re finalizing the details for this PTA sponsored FREE family-friendly evening of fun games and surprises for all to enjoy. See how you can help make this event a success!
Move-a-thon: Our last & final fundraiser of the year where we put the FUN in fundraising! This is a child participation fundraiser where students collect pledges for the number of laps they can do around the schoolyard. We are hoping to make this a new tradition at Skillin and would love for you to be a part of it. Money raised from the fundraiser will go directly to improvements on the playground!
Volunteer Training on Wednesday
The next volunteer training will be Wednesday April 12th at 5:30pm in the Skillin Library.
Anyone who wants to volunteer in the school or chaperone field trips must attend a Volunteer Training session. A member from the district will lead this brief 25 minute session that you only have to take once.
Don’t be left out! There’s lot of super fun opportunities & events coming up that will need volunteers to support—Field Trips, 4th Grade Celebration, May Move-a-Thon, and many more.
Any questions or to confirm that you’ve already attended the training, email skillinschoolpta@gmail.com
