Are you excited for school to start? We sure are! And the PTA has lots of ideas for getting together and celebrating our kids, families and school. Come to one or all — but definitely join us!

TODAY (Wednesday): Let’s cover the playground with messages to welcome back kids and staff tomorrow. Anytime after 3 p.m., head to the school with your sidewalk chalk and write your messages (Go Foxes! We love Schmitz Park! Thank you teachers!) all over the playground asphalt.  (We will also leave some chalk in a box on the buddy bench).

TOMORROW (Thursday):

– Stay for our annual flag ceremony in front of the school at 8:55 a.m. It’s a time-honored tradition, and our last in this building!

– Join the coffee social right afterward in the cafeteria. A great opportunity to connect with other parents and the principal.

– Take those beautiful “first day” photos of your kid(s) and post them on the school’s Facebook page; tell us what your child is excited about!

More events to come, but we wanted to make sure you know about these early ones.
