Greetings Tobias Families!

 

BATTLE OF THE BOOKS
This Tuesday, from 8am-10:30am, is the exciting, family feud style Battle of the Books event!  We are still in need of a few Judges to help out during the Battle!  Contact Ginny Watson if you are available Tuesday morning: ginsterw@aol.com or 503-680-9373!  Good luck at the Battle Tigers!



WILL YOUR CHILD BE A 6TH GRADER NEXT YEAR?
In years past, Ice Cream Fridays has been the 6th grade fundraiser to help Offset 6th grade activities, like Outdoor School, and the end of the year Moving On Breakfast.  PTO needs 4 people, preferably 6th grade parents for next school year, to head up this important 6th grade fundraiser.  It would not have to stay Ice Cream Fridays, your ideas are welcome, so if you are interested, have any great ideas for this project, and want to help out, contact Karen Norris!



EAGER TO HELP OUT NEXT YEAR?
PTO still needs a few great volunteer parents to help out with some of our largest events next year: Harvest Carnival, Holiday Bazaar, and 6th Grade Fundraiser!  Contact Karen Norris if you are able to help out!



Volunteer at Tobias? Work for Intel? Or Another Local Business that Contributes to Your Volunteer Time?
A HUGE Thank You goes out to our Intel Business Community, and those parents who volunteer for Tobias! We recently received a check for volunteer time a parent completed with Tobias, from Intel! So don’t forget to check and see if your employer matches charitable donations and pays for volunteer time! Our school community greatly benefits from this generosity, in more ways then one! Thank you to all our volunteers and local supporting businesses!

Drink Pouch Brigade
Tobias has joined the Drink Pouch Brigade to further encourage recycling with our students. All the kids have to do is recycle any aluminum (foil) drink pouch in the blue recycling bins in the cafeteria. "Recycle the Pouch - Throw out the Straw". As a bonus, Tobias PTO will be paid by Terra-cycle for all recycled pouches they receive.

Terra-cycle has already paid us for the glue sticks the kids recycled last year, which the PTO was able to turn into funds for school supplies for the classrooms in February.

Please encourage your student to recycle their glue sticks and bottles in the classroom, and their drink pouches in the cafeteria. THANK YOU!!
