Mrs.
Freeman’s class won the pizza party! Thank you to all who
joined up for our last eat-out fundraiser at Papa John’s. Our March eat out
event will be at Island Vibe and Miget’s Island Grill in Forest Grove.
Our
students have been making art for our upcoming Square 1 Art Fundraiser.
We will be sending home catalogues in March with items you can purchase
featuring your child’s artwork. Those items will arrive the first week of May,
just in time for Mother’s Day.
Come join us for the monthly
meetings! Our February meeting will be held via Zoom on the 9th at 6pm. Please send us an email at bankselementarypto@gmail.com if
you would like to attend and we will send you an invite. If you are unable to
attend the monthly meetings you will find the meeting minutes posted on our
website: bespto.blogspot.com
The website also gives you access to newsletters, budgets, and other
information about PTO activities. Please don’t hesitate to contact the board
about any questions or comments you may have.
All BES volunteers will need to
have passed a background check even if they are volunteering outside of regular
school hours. The front office has background check forms to fill out and to
return to the office before volunteering. Or you can go to http://www.helpcounterweb.com/welcome/apply.php?district=banks
to fill out the background check electronically.
Due to COVID regulations all BES
volunteers will also need to show proof of vaccination. Proof can be brought
when you volunteer or can be emailed to: maryjok@banks.k12.or.us or marjories@banks.k12.or.us .
