Support Discovery PTA with Pizza and Other Coming Events

Discovery PTA has some great events coming up in the next couple of weeks.

We invite all Discovery families to come out to our fundraising night at Blaze Pizza at 2206 N. Eagle Road, Meridian, from 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 30. Bring in the flyer that your student brings home later this week or show them the flyer below on your phone, and Blaze will donate 20% of the proceeds back to the PTA. We will use these funds for various school activities. We hope to see you there!

Other upcoming events include:

• Friday, Jan. 27: This is the last date to turn in your Box Tops for the individual contest. The student who brings in the most Box Tops during this contest period will win four passes for the Bodies in Motion cosmic ropes course. For each 25 Box Tops submitted, students also will be entered into a drawing for other fun prizes.
• Friday, Feb. 3: It's Popcorn Friday. If you didn't prepay for the year, please send in 50 cents with your student for a tasty afternoon treat.
• Monday, Feb. 6-Friday, Feb. 10: The PTA will be celebrating White Ribbon Week, which helps to teach children to make smart choices online and when using other media. We will have daily announcements and lunchtime activities. Students also will be invited to dress up each day to correspond with the daily theme. Stay tuned to the blog for more details.
• Tuesday, Feb. 7: The February PTA meeting will be at 4:10 p.m. in the Health Room. We will be discussing our spring activities and reviewing staff grant applications.
• Thursday, Feb. 9: The PTA will be hosting its second annual Sweet Shoppe for the Discovery staff. We will be posting a SignUp Genius link within the next week for anyone who might want to share some sweet treats with our great school staff!

Box Tops Are 'Snowtastic'

Happy New Year! It certainly has been off to a snowy, icy start, and it's hard to believe we're already in the second half of January. And that means the deadline for the current individual Box Tops contest is coming up on Friday, Jan. 27. 

The student who brings in the most Box Tops by this date will win passes for four people for the Bodies in Motion cosmic ropes course. In addition, each student will get one ticket for every 25 Box Tops submitted, and the ticket will be entered into a drawing for other fun prizes: passes to Planet Kid, passes to JumpTime, and gift certificates to ToysRUs. 

We are almost halfway to our goal of collecting 25,000 Box Tops this school year, earning $2,500. Half goes directly back to the classrooms, while the remainder goes to the PTA for other school initiatives, such as field trips and assemblies.
