Buddy Fun Day

5/7/2018 9:04 pm

It's going to be a GR8 day!

8:00am: Volunteer Check in (Gym)
8:30am-11:30am: Buddy Fun Day (Gym & Playground)
11:30am-12:30pm: School-wide Picnic (Playground)

So...what is Buddy Fun Day?
Buddy Fun Day is PWE's version of a classic field day.

What can I do to help?

As you can imagine, it takes a TON of volunteers to run a school-wide event like this...roughly 100! Sign up to work a station under the Volunteer menu > Buddy Fun Day Volunteer (must be logged in).

Your auto-generated confirmation email will include detailed instructions for the day of the event.

If you have a Future Panther not at PWE yet, they are welcome to tag along as long as it doesn't interfere with your attention to your volunteer station.

Volunteer shifts are from 8:00am - 11:30am. Stay after your shift for the school-wide picnic if you like. Just be sure to pack your lunch and picnic blanket!

Back by popular demand...VOLUNTEER T-SHIRTS!

Every grade level will be wearing a different color shirt, teachers will be in pink, and volunteers in purple. For just $4.25, you can join in the fun! Orders must be placed online by May 13th. Go to the Store menu and select Buddy Fun Day Volunteer Tee (must be logged in; no exchanges or refunds). The link takes you to our vendor's home page to order through their system. Shirts will go home with your oldest child the week of Buddy Fun Day.

Dear Prestonwood Elementary Neighbors,

We would like to express our gratitude for your patience with our recent campus construction. Thank you for always being such good neighbors to our school. We hope to have an Open House in the Spring to show off our renovated campus.

Can we ask a favor? We love dogs, but are having a significant issue with our students coming into contact with dog defecation while outside at recess. Currently, our fields are available to neighbors to bring their dogs up to play during non-operating hours, however, it’s important that owners clean up after their dogs. If you see neighbors playing with their dogs on our campus, can you please spread the word about this issue and politely encourage them to clean up?

This issue has forced some other RISD schools to prohibit dogs on school property altogether, and while we do not want to have to take that step if we can encourage our neighbors to cooperate, the health and safety of our students is paramount.

Thank you so much for your support, and we appreciate any efforts to pass this letter along to homeowners in our area.

Sincerely,

Pam Aitken

Principal

Prestonwood Elementary
