WOW! What a first week! โค๏ธ๐ค๐ค
Thank you so much to all of our parents, students, teachers, and community members who supported our ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฟ๐๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ธ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฆ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฒ-๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฟ๐๐ ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฆ๐๐ฎ๐ด ๐ฆ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ!
Seeing how excited the kids were made the long line and little bit of chaos completely worth it! ๐ We loved seeing them pick out their Bulldog gear and get excited about showing their school spirit!

Pre-sale items are the special Bulldog items that go along specifically with that weekโs Spirit Day theme.
For example: ๐๐๐น๐น๐ฑ๐ผ๐ด ๐ฏ๐๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐ + ๐ณ๐น๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐น๐ฒ๐ถ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต ๐๐ฎ๐. ๐บ๐๏ธ

With so many orders to organize and deliver, it is simply too difficult to keep up with a moving target after the cutoff.

Purchasing for more than one child? Please include this information for ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐น๐ฑ so we know exactly where everything needs to go!
โข Need to pay with cash? No problem! Please ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ง๐ข and let us know your childโs name, grade, and teacher and that they will be bringing their pre-sale money to school.

โข Secondary students, teachers, and community members are welcome to purchase pre-sale items too! We will just need enough information with the order to know who it belongs to and where it should be delivered.

โข Each week, we will make a post showing the items we plan to have available, along with ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฐ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐.
Let your child take a look ahead of time so they have an idea of what they may want! Please remember, though, that Swag Store items are ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฟ๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ, ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฟ๐๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ, and we cannot hold or guarantee an item will still be available when it is your childโs turn to shop.

Cash in hand is by far the easiest way for us to keep things moving during the fast-paced hustle and bustle of the morning Swag Store!

The kids are why we have PTO.
๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ผ ๐ถ๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐บ.
But just like kids, we adults can make mistakes, forget things, or get a little overwhelmed too! ๐ So we ask that you please give us a little grace as we figure out what works best.
We are all ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐, and half of our PTO is now made up of ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ who are already giving so much of their time to our kids every day. We are all trying our very best to do this right!
If we donโt answer a message immediately, miss a question, or overlook a Venmo payment, we promise we will get to it. Please donโt hesitate to reach back out if you think something was missed!
๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ ๐๐ก๐ ๐ช๐ ๐ช๐ข๐จ๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ฉ๐ ๐ ๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐๐๐๐ฃ!
PTO is open to ๐๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐, and we would be THRILLED to have you!
You donโt have to become an officer or make a huge time commitment. Even helping ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐๐ผ ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐ ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐๐ฎ๐ด ๐ฆ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ or volunteering for an event during the year makes a HUGE difference.
The more hands we have helping, the smoother these events run โ and the more fun things we can do for our kids! โค๏ธ
