Who Should Kiss a PIg?

In preparation for Discovery Night at The Farmstead on Monday, Sept. 28, the PTA is holding a "Kiss a Pig" contest. Students will have the chance to vote with their pennies next week on the teacher or staff member that they want to see get a swine smooch!

Flyers will be coming home at the end of this week, and students can return the baggies with their pennies (or other denominations) to cast their vote any day next week.

Thank you to all the parents who got the voting started at last week's Back to School Night. Here's where our lucky contenders stand so far:

• John Thie, 3rd Grade: $13.32
• Mike Dudley, Principal: $7
• Ashley Kalinski, 5th Grade: $6.25
• Corinne Hoppe, 2nd Grade: $4.25
• Kim Davison, 1st Grade: $2.71
• Christine Jayne, Kindergarten: $1.40
• Laura Geis, 4th Grade: $1.16
• Julie Drews, Counselor: $1
• Cory Johnson, PE/Health: $1

Check the blog each day next week for the latest totals. The winner will be announced during the afternoon of Sept. 28. The kiss will take place during the racing pigs show at 6:30 p.m. that evening at The Farmstead.

Discovery Night at The Farmstead is the PTA's biggest fall fundraiser. The event will take place from 4 to 9 p.m. on Sept. 28, and the discounted admission is $5.25 per person. The Farmstead will donate $1 for every person attending from Discovery so please be sure to invite your friends and family.

The proceeds from the Kiss a Pig contest and the evening at The Farmstead will help raise funds for playground improvements and other classroom initiatives.
