PTO Meeting Tonight - Ms. Hardisty's room

The PTO meeting will be Wednesday, Nov. 4th in Mrs. Hardisty's room at 7pm.

Dee's Musings on the Ashford PTO Stuff Coming Up!

TONIGHT: October 5th - PTO meeting in the school library at 7:00pm. The opening act will be Charro, followed by the comedy stylings of Rich Little.  No..wait.  That's episode 23 of 'The Love Boat'.  PTO meetings...Love Boat. I get them mixed up in my head. In any case, I'll see you on the Toledo Deck...or...maybe in the Library at Ashford School. Childcare is usually provided...I'm guessing that's the case here too. (If you don't know who Charro or Rich Little are, or what the Love Boat is...You're young and I'm officially old. :) )

October 9th -- The big annual Ice Cream Social is going to have two seatings.  The first one is at 6:30 to 7:15 and the second one is 7:30 to 8:15.  The sundaes are $2.75 each, and that includes a raffle ticket.  Everyone's welcome! (Children must be accompanied by an adult.) Mmm...Only something like 14 WeightWatchers points per sundae!  I can totally afford that.  Oh, to be a kid again...

Fall Fundraiser:  There's still time to get your order sheets in. We have a PTO meeting on October 5th and I'm sure you could turn the order forms in there. Remember to turn in both copies of your order form...you'll get one back with the orders. Then you can frame it, or perhaps use it to make a jaunty paper hat!

The Great Pumpkins Haloween Party!  (Actually, I think this might also be a Rec Dept thing...but the PTO probably helps out.) On Friday, Oct 30th from 5:30 to 7:30, kids up to Grade 6 are invited to Ashford School for some Halloween fun.  Jr. High Goblin help is needed for this event, so call Melissa McDonough at 429-6419 if you know a Jr. high monster who would like some community service street cred, yo.

Remember: October 30th is a Half Day, and there's no school on the 12th or 13th (Columbus Day, and the less popular but equally celebrated 'Day After Columbus Day') Wait...no, it's Professional Development Day.  Still, I'm going to be putting up my 'Day After Columbus Day' Tree anyway, in hopes that the Day After Columbus Day Fairy brings me the traditional five pound bag of coffee beans.  I've been very good this year.

-Dee (off to find five pounds of coffee...)
