PTA Coming Events in March

Spring had been in the air, and now I'm not so sure. But regardless of the weather, Discovery PTA has some great events planned for March and April!

1. Popcorn Friday is this Friday, March 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, March 5. We are starting to look for officers and committee chairs for the 2019-2020 school year. Please let us know if you're interested in learning more!

3. The Spring Book Fair and Art Walk will be Monday-Thursday, March 11-14. Mrs. Campbell is looking for some volunteers to assist students and their families. If you are interested in volunteering, please sign up at 2019 Spring Book Fair Volunteers.





4. The front office is seeking a volunteer to assist with class pictures on Wednesday, March 13, from about 9:10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Please let the front office know if you're interested in helping out.

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 (we've received so many great items so far, like American Girl dolls, a family photography package, white water rafting, and restaurant gift cards). 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.
