Help Wanted!

Hey all you book-lovers out there!
We are looking for a CO-CHAIR
for our FALL USED BOOK SALE! 
The Fall used book sale takes place in
September or October.
This is a volunteer commitment AT-SCHOOL.
This person will work with our current
Used Book Sale Chair who will have a
6th grader next year.
(Used Book Sale takes place every two years) 
We are also looking for someone to
work with our SKY WRITERS CHAIR
and learn the trade to eventually take this on.
Sky Writers is a terrifically
autonomous independent volunteer
gig that can be done largely from home.
This person will work closely with teachers to help
our kids publish their own books! 
Interested in either volunteer role? Contact president@sskypto.com

CANTINA NIGHT WAS GREAT!
Thank you to everyone who who participated in Cantina Night and the Silent Auction. We are still tabulating the totals, but it’s safe to say this was one of our most successful years!
A big THANK YOU to the entire Cantina Night Committee, headed by Mrs. Melanie Halpert, and a special thanks to The Salty Senorita and the Bauer Family for the great venue.
Congratulations Auction Winners! If you bid on something and won, you will be contacted by a volunteer to arrange a pick-up time. You can also stop by the PTO office between 2:45 – 3:15 on Tuesday February 13 to claim your item. If you won a special experience for your child, you’ll be contacted with the details soon!
THE FUN’S NOT OVER YET! We have a few remaining items available NOW to the first buyer! This is NOT AN AUCTION – these are INSTANT BUYS! First one to click “buy now” gets them! HURRY.
NEW ITEMS include 2nd ROW SEATS FOR KINDERGARTEN CULMINATION, PILOTS CULMINATION AND SING AMERICA SING see INSTANT BUYS #s 305 – 309.
Also, ALL of our remaining auction items and experiences are available as INSTANT BUYS NOW!
You should definitely check this out, ESPECIALLY since a handful of our teachers still have available experiences!
If you want to register text cantinanight18 to 24700.

Yearbook Orders
Well, the school year is half over… can you believe it ?!?!
If you haven’t done so already please order your yearbook at www.sskypto.com/yearbook. The yearbook committee is
still looking for pictures of all students, as well as for
6th grade parents to provide their dedications.
School Wide Play-date
There is no school on Monday, February 19th so it seems like the perfect day to have a school wide play-date. Please meet at Northsight Park at 10:30am.
Bring anything you’d like, but please note that this is
not a drop-off. Parents must stay with their child(ren).
* Northsight Park is located at 8400 E. Thunderbird Road, Scottsdale, AZ 85260
Birthday in a Box
Let us help take some of the stress and guess work out of bringing in school-approved birthday treats. Pre-order your child’s birthday treats today and cross this off your to-do list. A few clicks and you’re all done with school birthday treat planning and shopping! Click here to place your order.
Suggestion Box
Do You Have a Great Idea to Share?
We’re always looking for new ideas and ways to improve our PTO.
If you have a positive idea to share, please drop a note in our
anonymous suggestion box.

Thank You for all Your Help!
THANK YOU to the lunchtime volunteers, to the teachers, lunchroom aides and staff, and to you, SSKY parents, for teaching about and discussing with our students how to be stewards of the planet through their lunchtime recycling efforts! We hope that they will continue to care and to make a small difference in the lunchroom each and every school day!
