Reminder

Reminder - Square 1 Art orders are due tomorrow. 

They provide the option to order online or send in a paper order form along with a check or money order.  Please make checks payable to Square 1 Art. 

This is a great opportunity to buy personalized gifts for Mother's Day or Father's Day! 

Any questions, please contact Catherine Gillespie at cwegillespie@comcast.net. 

Carnival Volunteers Needed

The Pine Glen Carnival needs all hands on deck!  Please consider volunteering this Saturday for the carnival.  This is an amazing event that is successful because Pine Glen has a dedicated team of parents able to help run the show.  Please consider giving an hour to make this great event a continued success.

If you'd prefer to be outside, the hot-air balloon team needs strong volunteers to help manage the balloon from 9am to 11am.

Please contact Lynn Barnstein and let her know your availability.  She can be reached at lbarnstein@yahoo.com or 781.229.0360.

The carnival is from 9am to 2pm.

Thanks in advance.

Square 1 Art Fundraiser

Earlier this week personalized Square 1 Art order packets were sent home.  During art class each student at Pine Glen had the opportunity to create a unique picture that could be transferred to a number of products provided by Square 1 Art.

Orders are due on April 8, which will give us plenty of time to receive the items prior to Mother's Day.  This is a great opportunity to give personalized gifts to moms and grandmas. 

Square 1 Art now accepts online orders.  Instructions are available on the back page of the order form.  Checks are payable to Square 1 Art, if you decide to use the paper order form.  

If you have any questions, please contact Catherine Gillespie at cwegillespie@comcast.net

Carnival

Classroom Raffle Baskets for the Carnival
Each year the room parents put together a wonderful collection of baskets to raffle off at the carnival.  This year many classrooms do not have room parents.  If you haven't already been asked by your classroom teacher, please consider taking the lead to create a basket for your child's classroom.  For more information you can contact your child's teacher or Denise Desmonds at ddezmo@aol.com.

Carnival Volunteers
The Pine Glen Carnival is in just a few weeks, April 6 from 9am to 2pm. Volunteers are needed for the day of the event.  Even if you only have an hour to give, your help is much appreciated.  You can complete and send in the bright orange sheet that came home this week or contact Lynn Barnstein directly at lbarnstein@yahoo.com.

Calk Walk - one of the more popular events at the carnival.  Please consider donating a store bought cake for the Calk Walk.  Any questions, please contact Kimberly Daly at kimberly.daly@gmail.com.


A big thank you to all our parent volunteers who make this such a special day for the kids.
