PTA Fundraisers Are A Success!

The Cityville Elementary School Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) held its annual bake sale on May 13th at the Cityville Civic Center. Over 100 parents brought baked goods to the event and the PTA raised over $1,500. That money will be used to help fund additions to the school’s drama department so students can take part in productions like The Nutcracker, The Greatest Holiday Adventure, and more!
Prior to the bake sale, the PTA has encouraged the entire school community to collect boxtops and take part in the “BoxTops for Education” program. You can find the familiar 10 cents box top coupons on the top of many of your favorite products. This is an ongoing fundraiser, so if you’d like to take part, contact Jane Doe at pta_info@cityvilleschools.com for more information! Each dime counts.
Coming up….We’re having a silent auction next semester. We all have closets and attics full of things we no longer need, and our trash may be someone else’s treasure. Start spring cleaning now and see what items you have that you want to donate. If there is a minimum dollar amount that you’d like to set for an item, there will be an opportunity for you to do so. If not, all leftover items will be donated to the local GCF Donation Center and Store.

Reading Achievement Program Update

Our Reading Achievement Program (RAP) met last Wednesday for our final gathering of the school year. This year over 50 adults donated their time to read with students in grades K - 4. We would like to thank Jane Doe, our RAP coordinator, and all the volunteers for their hard work and dedication to the children of Cityville Elementary. Next year, we hope to have even more adults volunteer to help with the program. It is through reading programs like these that we can make a difference in the lives of the children that attend our school. Reading is imperative for our kids’ success.

Daily Pick-up — Tips & Suggestions for Picking up Your Student

Fire lane/Parking Suggestions We would like to remind our school community that cars should not be left unattended in the fire lane! You are encouraged to park in the parking lot and walk your child to the school, or walk to meet them at the end of the day.
Parents of kids in kindergarten and grade 1 can line-up in the
“pick-up” lane to drop-off or pick-up your child. Due to the size limitations of this lane, we can not allow parents of children in grades 2 through 4 to wait here for chilpick-up.
If you have a documented medical reason why you or child can not walk from Parking Lot A to the school, please contact
the principal and additional arrangements will be made.
If your child is staying for any
after school activity, pick-up is
set for the South side of the building, where there is plenty of parking and good lighting for those nighttime events!
Also, if you haven’t noticed, we have two new additional handicap parking spaces, two parking spaces for expectant mothers, and one new parking space with a time limit of 15 minutes. This is intended to be used by parents involved in activities that require short visits to the school.
PS — We’re working on an online system that will track student drop-off and pick-ups!
