Our October PTO meeting is planned for this Monday, Oct. 8 at 7 p.m., and we have lots of exciting things to talk about. We promise to keep our discussion to less than an hour, and we would encourage you to please go ahead and sign up for childcare by emailing Ellen in the office: ellen@clemsonmontessori.com
A few things you can look forward to Monday night:
- Information about the Pumpkin Delivery and mass unloading, scheduled for 8 a.m., Saturday, Oct. 13
- Sign ups for ongoing Pumpkin Sales, from 10/13-10/31
- Information and Volunteer Sign ups for the Fall Festival on Friday, Oct. 26, 3-7 p.m.
- Answering any questions you may have about For Small Hands ordering. Catalogs are going out in Friday Folders, Oct. 5. Extra catalogs will be available at the PTO meeting.
Here's a little primer on For Small Hands, for those of you who were not here or did not participate last year ...
There is a wonderful Montessori tradition that makes the holidays really easy to handle. The only tricky part is that we ask you to plan ahead and do it in October. The best part is, you'll find loads of educational gifts for all the children in your life, and there are teacher gifts for our Montessori classrooms, as well! Shopping now will get your holiday errands completed early, and it will benefit a great cause: CMS PTO.
WHAT IS IT?
‘For Small Hands” is a catalog that sells Montessori-approved materials, books, toys, and games. Your purchases will earn 15% credit for our school.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
It's a lot like a Scholastic Book Order. (We just need an order total of $500 or more for free shipping, which is why we ask you to place an order through the catalog, and not online.)
HOW DO I PARTICIPATE?
1) An order form will be made available in your child's Friday folder this week!
Fill it out, and include check made out to CMS PTO by Wednesday, OCT. 17th (if you have questions about products, teachers have recommendations)
2) You are welcome to purchase an item off a "teacher wish list" as a classroom gift/donation for the holidays. Teacher wish lists should be posted in classrooms by Monday. To avoid duplicate classroom gift orders, please check these lists and let the teachers know you would like to purchase an item for the classroom. Your classroom parent liaison may also email this list out, and you can "split" larger gifts with another parent or two.)
QUESTIONS/CONCERNS?
Please ask or email PTO co-president Heidi Williams at heidicwilliams@gmail.com or call (864) 247-0097. Turn forms and checks into the office.
