Incentives

I try not to bore you too much with my PTO life.  I feel my brother, Alexander, may think I am bragging about what I do since he doesn't believe in titles and roles and all that jazz...he's entitled to his opinion and I'm entitled to give him a hard time on my blog!!  Love you little brother.

I have realized that I have documented very little of this part of my life.  It's been a year & a half now and I love what I do.  That's what this blog is for...to document the things I do and the things I love!!

SO!

We have a membership drive every year.  We try to earn as much income as possible to cover our expenses for the year.  Unfortunately, schools don't receive all they need from the state.  Our wonderful parents make up the difference so that our children may still experience the arts, physical education, go on field trips, etc.  We try and make the incentives fun, so it gets the students excited.  This year our wonderful teachers, staff, and principal agreed to help!!

One incentive was lunch with the principal!!  The kids loved this...they think she is a celebrity, like a rock star!!  Myself and my co- in all things PTO, Lorraine, hosted a luncheon.  I will say...throwing parties for the kids is my favorite thing.  They love everything and are so easy to please!

Lorraine made these awesome cookies!!  Our theme this year is I love ME (Myford Elementary).

Our GRAND PRIZE incentive was if we made 100% of our financial goal and at least 75% of our students participated in our drive our principal agreed to be slimed!!  We made both!!  

I found the "slime" recipe online.  It's made of powdered jello, flour, water, food coloring, and baby soap.  My kitchen was covered in slime!!  It was everywhere and so hard to get up when it dries.  The nice thing about the slime is that is sticks!!  Ms. Fedderly was in for a treat!!  She was such a good sport.  Seriously...who does this?  We raffled off 5 spots to the students and they each took a turn to dump their slime on the principal!!  The students thought it was great!!

A million thanks to Amy Fedderly.  She has been such a great support to me in my role in the PTO.  She is awesome in every way and the community is so lucky to have her!

(I HATE this picture of me!!  Yep...I've gained some weight back & part of it is the shirt..right?  12 lbs to be exact.  It's frustrating and part of the process.  It stinks.  I have to work super hard to get back on track.  The nice thing is, I know I can do it.  I just have to make it a priority.)
