Battle of the Box Tops!!

A box top flyer went home earlier this week advertising the first box top competition of the year. It is a friendly competition built around the UM vs. MSU football game. Clip, collect and deposit your box tops into the Michigan or Michigan State container in the lobby. We can't wait to see which school collects the most box tops!!

 

We held our volunteer orientation on Monday morning. Thank you to those who were able to join us. If you were not able to join us, the agenda is attached, we are still looking for volunteers. Please contact Holly Tilton or Nichole Hilfinger for more information. A special thanks to Lindsay Jackson who came to speak to us about the district's Adopt-a-Reader program. The Adopt-a-Reader flyer is attached, please contact Lindsay if you are interested in working with K-2 readers.

It looked iffy at the start, but the weather cooperated for our first Billion Bubble Boogie! The kids had a great time boogie-ing around the track to the music. Thank you to Mrs. Rose, Ms. Brown, Mrs. Wright, Mr. Jafa, the classroom teachers and all the parent volunteers who helped pull off the event. It would not have been possible without your help.

You can check out all the photos on the Hardy Pto Facebook page.
