November 2014
A Message from Your PTO President
The school year is well underway, and what a great first quarter we’ve had! Our October Teacher Luncheon was truly appreciated by all staff and teachers. Thanks to Laura Pearson and Amy Bledski for coordinating, and to all of the parents who brought in meals. Spooky Bingo was a HUGE success with over 450 students and families in attendance. The costumes were amazing, and the kids had a great time with the bingo games. Special thanks to our organizers, Shelly Krell, Colleen Internicola and Niketa Mehta, and to Mr. Beck for keeping the bingo games rolling! November is a busy month at Steuart Weller. We are looking forward to the Book Fair, American Education Week, the Turkey Trot and Skate Night! Please join us at our next PTO meeting on Tuesday November 11th at 7pm in the library. Note the evening timeframe for this month. Hope you can join us.
