Donuts for Dad is another Sandy Miller ES Tradition that celebrates all of the male role models that play a supportive part in their student’s education. We hope that you will have some time to share with your student and enjoy a donut and breakfast beverage. 
Please join us for our next General PTA Membership Meeting. January 28th at 3:30pm at Sandy Miller ES, room 4. Come and hear what’s happening with the PTA Reflections Art Program, upcoming Donuts for Dad Event, Family Night (Spaghetti Dinner and Trivia Night), and Yearbook News. Everyone is welcome and we appreciate your ideas and feedback. We encourage your involvement. It truly makes a difference. You may think your idea or small window of time is insignificant, but it truly can make a big affect on success for this learning community.
Thank you to all of our wonderful Sandy Miller E.S. Students that participated in the 2010 Reflections Arts Program. We received a total of 26 entries in the categories of Visual Arts, Literary Arts, and Photography in Primary (K-2) and Secondary (3-5) Grade levels. Our top three scores for each category will be sent to the State for the next level of judging. We had a wonderful Art’s Reception at Potato Valley Cafe thanks to owners and Sandy Miller PTA supporters, Ty and Jerry Weinert. We were also fortunate to have an amazing line-up of prominent local arts judges within the city. We are looking forward to recognizing our Reflections Art’s participants in an upcoming award ceremony. Stay tuned for more details.
Just a reminder to join us for the Holiday Ornament Painting Party at Sandy Miller E.S. on December 9th from 6pm to 8pm. A wonderful variety of themed ornaments to choose from and paint. It’s super fun, and super easy. You pick the ornament to paint with the selection of special glazed paints provided and the All Fired Up professionals help with the personalization and detailing, fire the pieces at their studio, and deliver them to the school right before Winter Break. This is a perfect family event for all ages. Ornaments are $10.00 ea. This has become a Sandy Miller E. S. tradition. These ornaments are dazzling and become memorable keepsakes for your family tree and also make perfect gifts for teachers, family, and friends. We will have a raffle for a dozen prizes of Starbucks Gift Baskets. Get a free raffle ticket for each ornament purchased. We will also have a wonderful variety of festive treats, a hot cocoa bar with whipped cream and sprinkles, and spiced punch. Hosted by your PTA.
If you have any questions about the event, please feel free to contact us at sandymillerpta@hotmail.com.
I have had a lot of people ask me “what does the PTA do?” I am confident with my answer “we make a difference”.
Today we purchased 113 pairs of socks and underwear for the nurse’s station.
