Have a happy (and healthy!) Thanksgiving break! No school this week, see you back on November 28!
The PTO meeting last night was - as always - PACKED. Here’s what you need to know:

🎄 Our second annual Festival of Trees is Thursday, December 8. This year’s theme is Stories of the Season and each classroom’s tree will come with the story it is inspired by! All of the trees this year are brand new, pre-lit, and available for purchase as a silent auction. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be there, a photo booth will be ready to capture your memories, and hot cocoa and candy canes will be provided. The event goes from 5:30pm-7:00pm but the auction will only be from 5:30pm-6:30pm. Please be prepared to take your tree home that night 😊
🎰 Lastly, it’s never too early to start talking BINGO NIGHT. It’ll be April 13, 2023. We will need volunteers and items to raffle. If you know of a business that would donate goods or a gift card, please let us know!

The PTO meeting tonight covered a LOT of ground - and in the process I forgot to take a photo!
Here are the major things needed at this time:
💥 VOLUNTEERS…for the November book fair (details to come). We need parents to help students during the student’s shopping time and the evening parent’s shopping time.
💥 VOLUNTEERS…for the school store. It’s coming back October 28 and we need your help! Details to come.
💥 DONATIONS. We need monetary donations to help fund PTO provided meals during parent/teacher conferences next week. Any amount helps and Venmo payments are super easy! We also need donations to fund a new cart for the school store. The old cart could no longer be repaired, but a new one is expensive. Again, any amount helps!
Here are the topics discussed tonight:
🎥 Movie Under the Stars recap
👕 Summerwind tshirt sales and….HOODIES! Summerwind Supersonic hoodies will be coming soon! And, if you missed out on ordering a tshirt, you can order those again! Once we hit 48 tshirt/hoodie orders, we can place the order.
🏬 The school store returns October 28! And we need volunteers to help run it and donations for the new cart.
🏃🏻♀️ Track-O-Thon is THIS THURSDAY! The PTO helped obtain donations for the raffle for this event that benefits the PE program and recess supplies.
📚 This year Summerwind will have a book fair during Idaho Family Reading Week in November! Details to come. The PTO will be helping with advertising and volunteers.
☎️ Parent/teacher conferences are NEXT WEEK. The PTO is providing lunch and dinner for staff on October 20. We were also generously donated coffee and pastries for breakfast that morning from Holland's Bites and Brews!
🎄 Festival of Trees is December 8 at 5:30pm! Santa and Mrs. Claus will be returning, hot cocoa and cookies provided, and this year’s theme is “Stories of the Season”. Each classroom will have a brand new, 4’ pre-lit tree available for auction! There will be a mix of green and white trees.

The Summerwind STEM Trackathon is TWO WEEKS AWAY! This is a fun event during the school day to promote healthy living and moving your body. The kids can earn raffle tickets by being sponsored to walk/run laps during a 30 minute period. The raffle tickets can then be entered for fun prizes that promote physical activity at home! This is one of the biggest fundraisers for the school and benefits the PE program.
🏃🏻♀️ 🚴 💃🏻 ⛷ 🏃🧎🏾♂️🚶🏿
To help Mrs. Porter with her event, the Summerwind STEM PTO created an Amazon wish list of things that would make great raffle prizes. Purchases from the Wish List ship to PTO President who will deliver them to the school. Any purchase or donation you can make would be greatly appreciated by students and staff.
❗️Link to the wishlist ❗️
