Reflections Deadline extension
GOOD NEWS!!!! We are extending the dead line for the Reflections art competition to November 13. We hope this will allow more students to participate in the fun experience. We look forward to all of your student’s beautiful pieces that will be displayed at the Glendale Library Branch during judging.
Fundraiser Volunteer Sign-up
PTA
Our PTA Fundraiser is coming up. I need to get a small army of volunteers to make this fundraiser work. Every Tuesday and Thursday the student’s order forms will need to be picked up from each class room and brought to my house for sorting and packaging. Picking up the orders should not take more than 20 mins in the morning. I need 1 volunteer for every Tuesday and Thursday morning of the fundraiser to pick up forms and bring them to my house. I will then need to have each order sorted and filled. I am asking for 4 volunteers on Tuesdays and Thursdays early-afternoon to come to my house to sort and fill each order. If we can get 4 volunteers I am hoping we can get it done in 1-2 hours. I will then need 1 volunteer to deliver each filled order back to the class rooms before school gets out. This should not take more than 20 mins as well. I am officially ending the fundraiser on the 19. But unofficially I will pick up any extra orders on Friday 19. So I will be asking for volunteers to help with sorting/packaging orders Friday morning before early release. Please fill in your name/phone number on the days you would be able to help.
This sign up sheet is available online and will work better there since everyone can see what days are filled and what days are not. Use the link below to sign up online:
But if you don't want to use the online version I will try to keep this list as up to date as possible
Thank you

Art Competition
The PTA is excited about the art competition we are holding at the school this year. This art competition is an excellent opportunity for our students to show off their creative talents in painting, drawing, photography, music, sculpting, etc. The deadline for this competition is coming up soon. So those interested, need to have their entries submitted by October 15th to their classes. The student’s art will then be displayed at our local Glendale branch library for judging over fall break. We will have various awards for the top categories for Pre-k - 2nd grade, and then the 3rd grade through 5th grade age groups. We would like to give a big thank you to the wonder staff at the Glendale Library. They have offered to have a gallery night with refreshments on the opening night. We would like to have a people’s choice award that we can vote on during our gallery night. The art will be displayed through the remainder of the weekend at the library. After the judging the top art entries in each category will be sent on to complete at regional in December. The PTA would like to thank the students that have already started to submitted their wonderful work and would like to encourage others to join in on this fun and exciting activity. Remember that the theme for this competition is “Let Your Imagination Fly.” Each entry needs to include a 100 word maximum explanation of how their art reflects the theme. To help with this part try asking “what does ‘Let your imagination fly’ mean to you?” and remember to have fun with your expressions and creativity. The PTA is looking for volunteers who can help in sorting and organizing the entries, displaying the art at the library, or even with the judging. If you feel like you could help in any of these areas or in any other capacity please contact the PTA on the entry on the right of the website.
Remember PTA is here to help work together as a partnership with our teachers to improve the lives of our children

PTA Procedures and Post Event Evaluation Worksheet
Name of Committee: Yahoo-Boohoo Breakfast
Committee Chairman: Michelle de Oliveira
Committee Members: None
Date held: August 25.2015
Location: auditorium
—Invited all parents of the kindergarten for breakfast. We served bagels and cream cheese with juice. We purchased 4 boxes of Einstein Bagels. and 3 gallons of Juice 1 gallon of Chocolate Milk. We conducted a community cafe activity with the starting question: “When in your life were you supported and how did it make you feel” then moved on to “What would it look like if the school was supported” progressed into: “What are the obstacles that are in the way of this happening” Solution: “what can we do to get over these obstacles”
—-No other volunteers used. It would be helpful to have 3 people for this event.
One person to gather the parents from outside-bring them into the office to meet the front office staff and get checked-in.
One person to greet the parents and get the name tags.
One person to set-up and conduct the community cafe
$50 would be a good budget for this activity if we could go the night before and pick up left-over bagels from Einstein Bagels. $100,00 if no bagels are available.
Supplies: Sheets of paper from the supply room, markers, play dough, pipe cleaners, (stress relievers) Left over play dough and markers. NOT sure how well the play dough will last.
The closest Einstein Bros Bagels that could donate bagels the night before the event:
1520 S. 1500 E., Salt Lake City UT
No meetings to plan event
Advertised: This event was poorly advertised. Booths were set up during school registration by was not manned the whole time due to confusion on registration dates. Listed on PTA website and Facebook, but no one is currently liking PTA on Facebook. Maybe flyers could to be sent out with registration info to kindergartner parents.
The community cafe was a great way to engage parents in conversation and made for a meaningful enjoyable time for all in attendance.
We only had 5 parents attend. There was too many bagels and juice. We could cut back to maybe 2 boxes of bagels and 1 gallon of juice and 1 gallon of chocolate milk.

Back-to-School
Parkview Elementary PTA,
One program that had a lot of support is the new Watch D.O.G.S (Dads Of Great Students) program. This program will ask for male chaperones at PTA events with the children. This will help male involvement in the lives of our students. I would like to congratulate and thank Jamie Castillo for heading this program.
To start off this year I would like to announce that our bylaws have been approved by the Utah PTA board. This makes our PTA official. YEAH!!!!
Scoshi, our treasurer, and I are opening up our Bank account to start our financial records next week.
This will allow us to get a jump start on back-to-school activities: Yahoo-Booho breakfast, back to school night.
We will need to set a date for our first General Membership Meeting. According to our bylaws, it will need to be in September. At this meeting we will need to set our budget and our calendar. And we would have needed to appoint a nominating committee for our new PTA Executive board. However-since this year is our first official year I am willing to serve my first year twice. But if we can find additional help and there are people willing to step up for next year we can review that our general membership meeting.
In our calendar we will need to have 3 general membership meetings. These are formal meeting that will need to follow Robert's rules. 1 of which will be in sept- so we will only need to plan for 2 more
1 in February (This meeting is for the election of the New Executive Board Meeting, again this might not be necessary) and another in May to close our books
The rest of the meeting will be committee meetings and will not need to follow Roberts rules. (few... thank goodness)
Calendar Events to consider for this coming school year:
Red Ribbon Week (Drub Prevention)
White Ribbon Week (Internet Safety)
Literacy Week
Reflections (YEA!!! we officially have reflections this year)
Dinner for faculty for SEP(Parent teacher conferences)
Teacher Appreciation Week (we spoke last year that we would move this week to March so it would not inferrer with testing)
Culture Night
Spirit Week (we wanted to do this at the beginning of the year to inspire school pride right out the gate)
Yahoo-Boho Breakfast (First day of school for the parents of Kindergarteners)
Pastries for Parents (A community involvement effort-will also include community cafe presentations that will give parents the chance to voice their options about the direction of the school)
Budget allowing *Dad's and doughnuts (same thing as Pastries for parents but more focused on male involvement)
Budget allowing *Mom's and Muffins (same thing as Pastries for parents focused on female involvement)
Volunteer Dinner and Auctions (this should boost volunteer's willingness by providing a reward for the amount of hours individuals volunteer)
Fundraisers
Fun Run
Pennies for Parkview
According to our survey parents are not interested in Harmons earning for learning-some parents have asked if Smith's will do this-this is something I will need to look into
Zupa's Cafe school night is also one that the survey concluded would not be supported
McDonald's School Night (we would need a few teachers to get involved on this one)
BOX TOPS
World's Greatest Chocolates (We need to work this one out with Michelle Ortega)
Again this is just a list of suggestions, we do not by any means need to do all of the proposed items or if there are other ideas please come prepared to our general membership meeting in Sept to share them. This is a group effort and I love everyones input.
Thank you again for making PTA at Parkview possible. I could not do this without you and I look forward to seeing you all this coming school year.
