BINGO
Hello, If you receive a kind note from a Student or a Parent volunteers to help you, please send us a quick email or comment here. We are sending home PTO BINGO for trimester 2 and one square asks for Parent/Student to write a kind note to a Staff member and another to volunteer to help Staff. If either of these happen, we’d love to be able to verify those BINGO’s as they come in.

Paint Night
The D91 PTO's 2nd Annual Holiday Paint night is shaping up to be a festive extravaganza! This event offers our Students a unique opportunity to create gifts for giving to their loved ones. We need your help to capture the Holiday Spirit and make this a night one that is sure to outshine last year. Painters: Volunteer to guide 15 seated artists through a winter or Holiday themed painting. All supplies will be provided by the PTO, paintings should be able to be completed in 30 minutes by artists of varied ages and skill. Decorators: Help us transform Milne Grove into a magical, creative, Holiday themed utopia sure to have attendees ready to design gifts filled with love. We'll need help in the days leading up to and from 3:30-5:30 the day of the event. From blowing up balloons, to creating photo backdrops, to setting it all up, we need you. Crafters: Have a fun Holiday craft you'd love to share? Let The PTO get the supplies and you share your spirit. Don't have your own idea but willing to help with one of ours? We need you too. You'll just need to create an example or two and type up some easy to follow instructions to help attendees recreate a special gift. [Friday, Nov 15 at 2:29 PM] We are so grateful for the amazing support the PTO has received so far this year. However, we need to be completely honest with you: Paint Night cannot happen without help from our Community. We are at a critical point, and without more volunteers stepping forward, we will be forced to cancel this beloved event. We simply can't make it happen without the hands-on support of our volunteers. Please, take a moment to consider signing up and helping out. We need paint instructors. You do not need to be a pro, just willing to instruct a cute winter or Holiday themed painting. None of the positions require a monetary commitment, the PTO will make all purchases. If we don't get enough volunteers, this wonderful event may not be able to continue. Together, we can make this event a success and show our Children, Teachers, and Families the power of Community. [Tuesday, Nov 19 at 1:39 PM] We need volunteers to save paint night. Without help, it will be canceled. The final call will be made on Monday, November 25. No professional experience needed. Paintings should be be simple and easy. No monetary commitment. We need committed individuals to ensure this event happens. If you can volunteer, step up now. We can’t do this without you.
