It's been a great school year and we hope you all enjoy your summer break!  Stay safe & have fun! 

Don't forget to check in over the summer (right after you check your facebook, of course!) for information on next year's PTA events & activities.

The Back to School BLITZ will be held on Tuesday September 1st, this is the day before the 1st day of school.  We are looking for adult volunteers to help in setting up, working the event and tearing down.  Set-up will be from 1:00 - 4:00pm.  The event runs 4:00 - 6:00.  We would also love to have incoming 5th Graders help out too!  They will be the "hosts" for the event, these student volunteers will need to arrive for orientation at 3:00 in the gym.  Please contact Wendy Eike (wendy@eikedesign.com) or Suellen Neumeister (suellen.n@netzero.net) if you or your 5th Grader is interested in helping out at this great event.  Whether you're volunteering or simply attending for fun we look forward to seeing you there!

If you are not already aware, our school district and school have an electronic notification system called "Listserv".  This is an email distribution system that parents can sign up for to have school district information and school-specific information sent to them via email. 

If you are not already receiving email notices from either source you can register your email address on the school district's website:  http://www.mukilteo.wednet.edu/community/community.cfm?ref=1&lref=112.  Simply check the box for Picnic Point to be on our school's list.  You can also check the box for Mukilteo School District Information. 

Some families find it helpful to enroll both parents, other family members or caretakers so everyone is in the loop!
