January has gone by so fast, but I for one am looking forward to spring. Here are some reminders for February as well as some upcoming spring events.
1. Popcorn Friday is this Friday, Feb. 1. If you are available, we would love to have you join us at 8:45 a.m. to bag popcorn in the cafeteria. It's a fun time to socialize with other Discovery parents.
2. The next PTA meeting will be at 4:10 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 5. We will be discussing staff appreciation week in May, if you have ideas to share. We also will be reviewing any staff grant applications submitted at this meeting.
3. Valentine's Day is a great opportunity to show our appreciation for our teachers and staff members. The PTA will be putting together a snack bar, with build-your-own trail mix ingredients, healthy snacks, and some decadent treats. Here's the link to the donations we are seeking. Please drop off by 9 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 14. We appreciate any donations you can provide! Discovery Valentine Staff Snacks

4. The next Box Tops competition is underway. The classroom that brings in the most Box Tops by Feb. 25 will win a smoothie party in March.
5. We have scheduled our next restaurant night at Sockeye Brewery, 12542 W. Fairview Ave., from 6 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, March 20. Discovery staff members will help serve for tips, and we'll also receive a 10% donation of total sales from the restaurant that evening.
6. Save the date for the Decades Dance. Since last year's sock hop was such a success, the PTA will be hosting a Decades Dance on Friday, April 12. There will be music by Officer York, food for purchase, and a silent auction. Please let us know if you have any services or items to donate for the silent auction or would like to be involved in the planning of the event.
We also are always looking for new ideas for events and activities. If you can't attend the PTA meeting to share your suggestions, please reach out via the blog, Facebook page, or emailing discoverypta@gmail.com.
