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. Field Elementary PTO is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization and donations are tax deductible to the extent provided by law. We are grateful for your support and generosity.

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.
