Field Families, we NEED you to help create the vision for Field's Lion Pride Fun Run in October. This is our third time doing a Fun Run and, with lessons learned, will be the BEST year yet!

Committee members will plug in where their interests/ talents lie- do you like shopping and sourcing prizes/supplies? Asking business for coupons and freebies for raffle prizes? Planning logistics? Strategizing? Dreaming up ideas? Bringing the fun factor? JOIN US! All levels of help/ support are welcomed & appreciated. This is a great way to get involved and form community with other parents- a shared mission!

This event would not be possible without the consistent support of our community! Please consider donating a product or service for our silent auction (gift certificates, services, airline miles, vouchers, and/or merchandise/gift baskets, etc.). We value our local businesses and families, and all donations will be highlighted and advertised through our channels. Click here for the auction donation form. 

CALLING ALL HOSTS AND HOSTESSES!!! We need your help! HOST A SIGN UP PARTY!

Looking for a fun-filled activity for the kids? A much deserved adult-night out (or in!)? Think about hosting a sign up party!  Want to host but need ideas? Send us an email! 

What is a sign up party?
A social event put on by a small-ish group (depending on the event/location) with a fun or unique activity or theme, that helps raise money for Field Elementary, as a part of the annual Auction & Fundraiser. Think Mom's (or Dad's) Night Out, grade level party, cooking class, movie night, game night, pool party, etc. The exclusive events are planned, hosted and sponsored by Field family(s) or teacher(s) with tickets sold during the auction. Click here to submit your sign up party and for a list of ideas!

We are in need of businesses and families to sponsor the event. Sponsors will be recognized across our PTO social media/website and newsletter and have signage at the event based on their sponsorship level.

We are excited to announce we are kicking off our Field of Dreamers Garden Club for our third season!
 
This amazing program, is run by parent volunteers who donate 25 minutes of their time every Thursday.
 
 In this small amount of time students connect with the Earth, plant a thing or two, learn where their food comes from, sample fresh herbs or lettuce depending on what's growing, get a little dirty and explore the wonders of nature. So much goes on in those 7 beds at the front - you would be amazed! We also want to bring the students to the Butterfly Garden that was built and funded by grants and parent volunteers last year. The Butterfly Garden is located outside the PE room.
 
If you have 25 minutes to spare, please let us know. You may reach Ebony Porter at campfirequilts@gmail.com . More information can be found here.

Our school is fundraising with Mabel’s Labels! If you’re not familiar with Mabel’s Labels, they are personalized, durable, waterproof labels. They are great for everything from shoes, clothing tags, water bottles and backpacks. You can customize them with your name and a design, and they are dishwasher, laundry and microwave safe.

Mabel’s Labels also offers clothing stamps, silicone bands for water bottles and medical alert labels. This is a great way to ensure your items don’t end up in the lost & found or mixed up . To reduce the spread of germs, we highly recommend labelling but they are also useful for everyday life.
