Thank You Discovery Families, Staff for Another Great School Year

It's hard to believe we're down to the last few days of school before summer break. Discovery PTA would like to thank all of our families and staff for another successful school year.

Through the support of our wonderful families and staff over the past several years, we are proud to announce that we are in the process of purchasing new equipment for the intermediate playground for third, fourth, and fifth grades. Through various fundraising efforts, we have raised over $16,000 to make this happen. The new playground equipment will be installed over the summer, and we will plan a special ribbon-cutting ceremony once we're back in school in August. We really couldn't have made this happen without your support!

It's been a fun school year, and we tried some new things like the spring sock hop, which was a huge success, and the pie-eating contest at The Farmstead. These events, along with Spirit Wear sales, Popcorn Fridays, Box Tops, and a couple of restaurant nights, helped bring in funds for additional school activities.

Just in the past couple of weeks, the PTA has helped to fund year-end activities. We provided popsicles for Field Day; supplies for first grade's Camp Learns A Lot, for second grade's year-end Hawaiian celebration, and third grade's multiplication sundae parties; t-shirts for fourth-graders to wear to Rendezvous; and pizza for the fifth grade celebration.

We love the Discovery staff and have had fun supporting them this school year. In addition to classroom help, such as providing the Scholastic magazine for some grade levels, we provided a coffee cart at the beginning of the school year, snack carts for parent-teacher conferences and Valentine's Day, and holiday and staff appreciation lunches. Thank you to all who donated food and supplies for these events.

Thank you to all of the PTA members who helped with events this school year, and a big shout out to Michelle Hall for heading up Popcorn Fridays, Sharese Hall for her hard work on Reflections, Ashley Hillyard for spearheading Box Tops this school year, and Nicole Geibel for being our Facebook guru.

We are looking forward to working with new Principal Rhonda McDonough this upcoming school year. Please reach out to any of the board members or email discoverypta@gmail.com if you have feedback or ideas for the next school year. Stay tuned to the blog and Discovery PTA Facebook page in August for the latest updates. Also, our first meeting of the school year will be at 4:10 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 4.

Have a great summer!
