PTO hosts Mathematics Family Night & Fall Potluck Dinner on November 11th

In lieu of November's regularly scheduled PTO meeting, the PTO will host a family math event and potluck dinner. Burlington district math teacher leader, Penny Stearns, has organized an evening for children to lead their parents through some challenging Bridges activities. Please come to the library with your child during the following time slots:

5:30-6:00 Parents and children of Kindergarten & grade 1
6:15-6:45 Parents and children of grades 2 & 3
7:00-7:30 Parents and children of grades 4 & 5

When you are not playing math games, you are invited to gather in the Gym for a potluck dinner with your children's friends and their families. Bring a dish to share! The PTO will provide drinks, ice cream, dinnerware and good company. RSVP & for potluck details? Contact your class parent(s). Questions about Math Family Night?
