The PTA has hit you with a number of fundraisers, but the budget is looking better at this point. Thank you all for your financial support and volunteering to help. It makes all the difference for the kids. We have had a great event, the Deale Pizzeria had some awesome employees who did a great job serving up Pizza and fun. Coming up this week will be the Harvest Dance, don’t miss out on the fun, the kids are able to get a little more wear out of those costumes!! We have a general membership meeting on November 14. This time I will be offering some Pie. What says November and Thanksgiving is coming more than Pie. So come have some Pie, and find out what the PTA is up to or share your ideas with us. If you are interested in helping Deale become a certified Green School, look for a flier about an upcoming meeting. Betsy Orffbetsyorff@ MembershipIf you haven't already became a member of the PTA please consider. ? Remember PTA members will get FREE entry into two events this year!?Any questions please feel free to reach out. ? Tracey Dieringertdieringer@Top 10 Reasons to become a volunteer and join the PTA! 1. Volunteering makes a big difference. Research consistently shows that kids whose parents are involved in their schools do better.2. Volunteering offers tangible ways to be part of things. Sometimes we might mean well, but our busy lives get in the way of committing. Joining a parent group will provide concrete ways to get involved, whether at events, in the classroom, or on a committee.3. It feels great to participate! Your child spends a lot of time at school, and it’s great to share some of their school-related experiences with them.4. You’ll get to know other parents. It’s powerful to create a circle of adult friends around a school, and having a shared interest is a good place to start. What’s more, it can help foster connections between families in your community.5. Your help is always needed. Whether it’s helping to run the next big event or providing support in the classroom, there are always ways to pitch in.6. It’s a manageable commitment. Volunteering can seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. Spend an hour at an open gym night or talent show, and your efforts will be appreciated. And remember, it’s always OK to say no when you’re busy.7. It’s fun! Events like pizza night, Harvest Dance and Cookies/Caroling can give everyone something to look forward too.8. You can tailor volunteering to play to your strengths. Within a parent group or school community there are many ways to contribute, some of which are sure to complement your strengths, interests, or professional skills.9. Have a great idea? Volunteering gives you opportunities to get your ideas out there.10. Volunteering provides another way to get to know school and support staff to better.EventsSCHOOL ASSEMBLYUpcoming assembly:Dec. 15, 9:00, Christylez Bacon - Beats, Bows & Remixes.Join Christylez Bacon and Wytold as hip-hop and classical music collide with multi-cultural collaboration, transforming well-known songs into new compositions. Learn how these musicians work as a team, listening to each other’s different backgrounds and perspectives as they shape modern versions of all-time favorites, from Hot Cross Buns to Bruno Mars. Create a team remix with Christylez and Wytold that twists and turns a familiar tune into a brand-new musical invention.As a dynamic member of the progressive hip hop movement, Christylez Bacon brings innovation to an art form already known for melding varied urban musical styles. Bacon adds a new flavor to the mix by harmonizing musical genres from around the world in a multi-instrumental exploration of beat box (oral percussion), rap, go-go, classical music and beyond. William Wytold Lebing is a cellist, composer, educator, and scorer for film, theater, and dance productions. Wytold plays an electric cello with two extra strings that capture the depth and power of a stand-up bass, the rich tonal timbre of the acoustic cello, and the bright crispness of violin solos and harmonies. By building cross-cultural connections, these presentations help students gain insight into the universality of artistic expression and encourage their direct participation in the performance experience through the use of call and response.Learn more at:?
