VOLUNTEER COMMITTEE UPDATES!

It's definitely been a creative time for the PTO to revamp our events and programs! With that said, our new committee lists and positions are updated on the Country Meadows PTO MEMBERSHIP TOOLKIT (MTK)! Please step up and join a committee.

The Country Meadows PTO needs you! Please log in to Membership Toolkit and scroll down to Planning Committees to sign up for one (or more!) of our committees for the 2020-21 school year. These include help as PTO co-president or with the virtual Book Fair, family/educator conference meals, staff appreciation, virtual Cultural Arts, and virtual After-School Programs. If you have any questions, please contact Kelly Friedrich or Debbie Sainte-Rose (contact info is in MTK). Thanks for your support!


SPIRIT WEAR!

Yes! We WILL have some awesome spirit wear to purchase this year! The kiddos will definitely want a hoodie to sport during their Zoom class, right? Many parents have been asking to place orders and we are finalizing options with our new vendor. This year you will order online and your products will be shipped directly to you! Please watch our Country Meadows PTO Facebook and Instagram and this blog for updates. We expect the sale to launch in October!
 

SUBMIT PHOTOS FOR THE YEARBOOK!

The yearbook is a PTO Committee volunteer-run effort and we need your help! The photos you provide can help make the yearbook so much better in this unique school year!

As you can imagine, we will need your help this fall to collect photos for the Country Meadows Yearbook. Start by uploading your child's first-day-of-school photos through the yearbook company's app or website.

Here's how to provide your student's photo(s):
• Option 1: Go to the Apps Store (IOS) or Apps on Google Play (android) and download the HJ eshare app. Enter our school code: CM2021 and tag and upload your photos.

• Option 2: Go to www.hjeshare.com Enter our school code: CM2021 and tag and upload your photos.

• Option 3: Copy and paste the following url into your browser window and upload your photos: http://www.hjeshare.com/eShare/?code=CM2021


2019–2020 YEARBOOKS ARE STILL AVAILABLE!

If you did not order a yearbook last school year, you still have an opportunity. Please contact Elisha Magnifico or anyone on the PTO to purchase a copy of our 2019–20 yearbook!
 

DON'T GET LOST!

We aren't losing hoodies and water bottles in the school building much nowadays, but we are sure you have some physically distanced activities outdoors and your family members' masks might all be similar, no? Label them! And support the PTO!

Mabels Labels donates 20% back to the school so that we may have the funds to get creative with programming for this special year!

Please go to MABELS LABELS and type in Country Meadows. Be sure to select Long Grove! You may apply any coupon codes or discounts–tour school still benefits!
