PALS COMMITTEES

Picture
APPRECIATION 
      Co-Chairs: Dawn Driggers and Mandi Huff

Work with other parents to help show our appreciation to those that help our children.  The committee typically holds two planning meetings, one in Fall before American Education Week (second week of November) and one in Spring before Teacher Appreciation Week (first full week of May).  Much of our work is done during these two Education Weeks.  One time during each of these weeks we provide a meal for the teachers.  At conferences we coordinate the donations of crock pot foods and in the Spring we ask parents to prepare and drop off bagged lunches.  We also get creative remembering to appreciate additional support personnel such as bus drivers, crossing guards, etc.

BOOK FAIR 
      Co-Chairs: Brett and Jennifer Dimmer

We partner with Scholastic to put books in the hands of our kids and raise money for our school.  Our Fall Book Fair kicks off the holiday season and is a fundraising fair.  Our Spring Book Fair is usually a "Buy One/Get One Free" Fair that allows families to stock up on summer reading materials at affordable prices.  The committee is responsible for the set-up, scheduling of volunteers, re-ordering of books and clean-up at the end of the event.

CARNIVAL 
      Co-Chairs: Brett and Jennifer Dimmer
Every fall this committee runs the school carnival.  The event includes carnival themed games, face painting, concessions and bake sale.  This is one of our largest fundraisers (and more importantly the children love it), but it requires many volunteers to make the night a success. You can help in many different ways - decorations, concessions, games, raffle prizes, baking an item for the bake sale or working a shift on the day of the carnival.

COMMUNITY DINING  
      Chair: Mandi Huff

This committee plans dining out events at various restaurants in the community.  The restaurants graciously give us a percentage back from all sales during an agreed upon time.  We work on flyers and announcements to promote the event.  Depending upon the restaurant, on the day of the event, we decorate the venue with signs, table tents, placemats and balloons.  We are responsible for running the event and cleaning up afterwards, if needed.
