PTA Transition Lunch

For all 2014-2015 Board Members and all 2015-2016 Board Members 

Parents, Pastries, and The Leader in Me

Parents and Students of Midas Creek Elementary are invited to a special Parents and Pastries Event

A&C Track, Thursday, June 4th 8:00-9:00 am 

B& D Track, Friday, June 12th 8:00-9:00 am 

The PTA will provide the pastries.

Our Student Leadership Team and Ambassadors will provide displays for each of the Leader in Me Habits.

There will be 8 stations in all. Students will be given a Crown Card to go with our Finding Habit Treasures Theme. Students will be encouraged to rotate to all of the stations with their parents and get their special crown card marked for each habit. Every child who gets their whole card marked and turned in will get a special Crown Tag for their Leader Lanyard!

Come and enjoy some yummy pastries and learn more about the Leader in Me Program at Midas Creek. We are anxious to share our leadership habits with our parents.

Visitors from Copper Canyon Elementary PTA:

-They have been working on recognizing leader in me students year round.

- visiting other schools PTA meetings helps them to achieve lighthouse status

Mrs. Bona:

-       Looking into a literacy and leadership event at the school. Maybe do it as a parents and pastries morning and have 7 tables for the habits. Set dates of June 4^th for A and C track and June 12^th for D & B tracks 8:00 – 9:00 am both days. PTA will provide food, school will provide informational displays for tables and will have school ambassadors work the tables. Students will get a bead for visiting all tables.

-       Working to train all teachers and staff on the 7 healthy habits. Including lunchroom, custodial and office staff. If all school employees are on the same page they are better able to help the kids work towards their goals.

-       We also want to work to keep the community involved with the leader in me program. The more community support we get the better it is for the kids.

Marquee has been ordered and paid for!!! It was less than anticipated – final cost to PTA is $6,625 yay!!!!

Room mom’s for next year:

Bike rodeo coming up soon – May  11^th and May 18^th.
