Thank you so much for all your help before, during and after the book fair. The fair was a huge success this year, we made over $14,000 our highest sales ever, and we couldn't have done it without all of you.

We are counting on everyone to support our main fundraiser for the year.

Thank you to all the volunteers who helped make Arts Alive such a success.

A huge thank you goes out to all the families that donated equipment and supported the Sports Swap on September 26.

Your PTO has been doing a lot of planning to come up with a school year full of interesting new ideas and old favorites. We have a mix of fundraisers, to pay for all the extras PTO activity affords our children and teachers, as well as a number of “funraisers” to encourage community building within our school. Mark the dates on your calendar and stay tuned for more info. All events are listed on the PTO website ( www.vinalpto.org ).

Following is the list of basic supplies that was available on Posting Day.

This year's Scholastic Book Fair was a huge success. Thanks to the profits made from parents purchasing books for their children and for Vinal School teachers, the PTO is able to supply the classrooms with a lot of new books and teaaching tools! On top of that Scholastic is donating 270 books to children in need thanks to donations to the One-For-Books program.

We will be having an informational meeting for parents after school on Wednesday, April 29th, in the Vinal computer room to review the Robotics and Lego League Programs at Vinal. If your child is interested in either of these programs for next year or future years, please try to attend. Coming to the meeting does not commit you to anything. Below, we have provided some links to Lego, an NXT Tutorial, and Lego League. It would be very helpful if you could take a few minutes to look at these before coming to the meeting.



If you have any questions, please contact Susannah at 781-659-2886 or swurgler@dunquin.net.

We hope to see you on the 29th.
