Well, Hi! Ready to meet the rest of the Clark PTO Executive Board? If you missed it, don't forget to scroll back to the November 21 Eagle Eye to meet the rest of the team. This week, we're continuing to share why we're grateful to serve as part of this awesome Clark Community!
“I can attest to the amazing community we have and the benefits of our PTO first hand. I (re)joined the PTO hoping to build relationships with other families and stay connected to the school. I’m looking forward to helping out this year.” - Anne Tilly Luther, Junior Vice President
“I have served with the Clark PTO for several years and love seeing the ways parents come together through committees to create fun and community for our students, staff, and families. Watching Chess Club grow has been a blast. Our family loves being Clark Eagles!” - Brandy Turek, Senior Vice President
“Serving on PTO the past three years has been very rewarding. Volunteering has provided me the opportunity to get to know more parents and staff and feel connected with the Clark community. I’m continually impressed by everyone’s passion to support our kids’ learning and development.” - Jeff Heitgerd, Auditor
“Clark truly is a special place and I’m honored to be part of such a kind and caring community. I’m looking forward to working with everyone to continue this tradition. You all ROCK!” - Jocelyn Meyer, Equity in Education Co-Officer
“Clark is such a special place. We were new to the school two years ago and it quickly felt like home. I’m happy to help bring families together and support Clark staff and students any way I can.” - Jourdan Timmermann, Junior Co-President
“I love being part of the Clark PTO because Clark Elementary has given so much to my kids over the years and this is one small way that I can give back! This community of teachers and families is so very special.” - Kristey Walker, Senior Secretary
“I am grateful to serve on the Clark PTO because it helps widen my gaze and expand my understanding of perspectives different than my own. By learning from others, I hope to become a more compassionate human.” - Nicole Post, Equity in Education Officer
“I’m grateful to be at Clark because of the community vibe we have built here. I am happy to be a part of the PTO because with the strong support we get, we really are able to do some pretty rad things for our staff, kiddos, and school. 💙” - Stephanie Seiffertt, Junior Co-President
Scholastic Book Fair: Thank you for everyone's support in making this year's book fair a big success. We had over $10,000 in sales, and will be receiving a little over $5,100 in Scholastic Dollars in return! By choosing to take our proceeds from Scholastic in “Scholastic Dollars,” we are able to receive 50% of the total sales of the book fair. Scholastic Dollars can be used to purchase a variety of things including books of course, but also classroom items, furniture, technology, curriculum materials, and more. So $5,000 can go a long way to keep our library and classrooms current.
If you have any questions or ideas for future Book Fairs, please reach out to Katie Heitgerd at katiehufford@gmail.com or Emily Odum at emmaodum@gmail.com.
Stay Connected to Everything Happening at Clark
The Clark PTO strives to inform parents of all that is happening at Clark. Our PTO Facebook page, PTO website and Eagle Eye newsletter are the main channels of communication. Please notify the front office if you do not have a phone or computer with which to check these outlets.
There are many ways information is shared about Clark and the Clark PTO. If you haven't been receiving communications, it might be a good time to review your Parent Square settings to ensure you get all the important information going forward. We put together this Clark Eagles - Stay Connected flyer to help ensure you know what's happening at Clark.
If you have an announcement that needs to be included in the Eagle Eye, please complete and submit the Eagle Eye Submission form by 10:00 pm on the Saturday prior to the week's posting.
If you have any questions for the Clark PTO Communications Team, please send an email to the Clark PTO Communications Team email address: Clark PTO Communications Mailbox.
