April is a Busy Month at New Garden Elementary
There are a lot of fun activities planned now through the end of the year. You might wonder why so much landed
in April. Many organizations rent the New Garden cafeteria and gym and the Kennett High school auditorium, so
finding an open date that works with our volunteer chairmen schedules can be a challenge—and April just
happened to be the month with location openings. Please remember that all of the PTO Board and Activity
Chairmen are VOLUNTEERS. We are doing our best to supplement our children’s educational experiences and
foster communication and a sense of community.
In addition to the fun activities we plan, we also contribute significantly toward field trip transportation expenses,
provide funds for teachers to buy supplies, beautify the school through upkeep of bulletin boards, display cases
and exterior decorating. We are involved in re-painting the murals and updating the cafeteria décor. We hope to
have those improvements completed this summer. We arrange and pay for many diverse assemblies and
purchase incentives for good behavior for the Buddy Buck program. We even managed to re-vamp our book fair
profits so that all children could receive a $5 voucher to buy a new book at the spring book fair.
We have moved our meeting time to 4 pm on the 1st Tuesday of the month, so that more teachers could attend.
We will elect new officers in June. Please let us know if you are interested in a board position, so we can put you
on the ballot. The new board may elect to change the meeting time next year, so don’t let the current schedule
discourage you from volunteering. We have been posting meeting minutes on our website. You can find more
details on the board positions and activities there.
Here are the activities coming up through the end of the year, so mark your calendars and join us.
Check the take home folders and the BoBB for more details and sign-up sheets.

Abril es Un Mes de Trabajo en El Nuevo Jardín Primaria
Allí son un montón de diversión actividades planeadas ahora hasta el final del año. Te preguntarás por qué tanto
aterrizó en abril. Muchas organizaciones alquilar la cafetería nuevo jardín y gimnasio y el Auditorio de Kennett
High school, así que encontrar una fecha libre que trabaja con los horarios de presidentes voluntarios puede ser un
desafío, y abril sólo pasó a ser el mes con aberturas de ubicación. Por favor recuerde que toda la Junta Directiva y
presidentes de actividad son voluntarios. Estamos haciendo nuestro mejor esfuerzo para complementar las
experiencias educativas de nuestros hijos y fomentar comunicación y un sentido de comunidad.
Además de la diversión actividades que planeamos, también contribuyen de manera significativa hacia los gastos
de viaje transporte, proporcionar fondos para los maestros para comprar suministros, embellecer la escuela a
través de mantenimiento de tableros de anuncios, vitrinas y decoración exterior. Estamos involucrados en volver a
pintar los murales y actualizar la decoración de la cafetería. Esperamos que estas mejoras terminadas este verano.
Organizar y pagar por muchas diversas asambleas y comprar incentivos por buen comportamiento para el
programa amigo Buck. Incluso logramos reorganizar nuestros beneficios de Feria del libro para que todos los
niños pudieran recibir un bono de $5 para comprar un nuevo libro en el libro de la primavera justo.
Pasamos nuestro tiempo a 16:00 en la 1 º martes de mes, para que más profesores podrían asistir. Elegirá a
nuevos oficiales en junio. Por favor, háganos saber si usted está interesado en una posición en el tablero, por lo
que nos podemos poner en la boleta electoral. Puede elegir la nueva Junta Directiva cambiar la hora de la reunión
del próximo año, así que no deje que el programa actual desalentarte de voluntariado. Hemos sido publicar actas
de la reunión en nuestro sitio Web. Puede encontrar más detalles sobre las posiciones y actividades allí.
Aquí están las actividades subiendo hasta el final del año, así que marquen sus calendarios y Únete a nosotros.
