We’ll be honoring teacher’s service to our students with Tex Mex themed luncheon on November 21 ! Big thanks to Brigitta Warren for volunteering to coordinate!

If you’d like to donate something:

Suggestions include, enchiladas, nachos, taco meat, taco shells, tortillas, fixins, tortilla chips, salsa, queso, dessert, salad, paper goods, nada margaritas, silverware, drinks, rise, or anything else you’d like! Email the dish of your choosing (or item) to marybwarren@verizon.net . Please have your donations at the school by 11:30, preferably in the teacher’s lounge.

If you’d like to help:
Please let Brigitta know if you can be there at 1 1:30 for set up, to serve at 12 or clean up by 1, by email at marybwarren@verizon.net .

The luncheon is only 20 days away! So email Brigitta today!

It is a Cradlerock tradition to provide lunch for teachers one day during parent teacher conferences each quarter. This November, Mr. McCoy is asking if the PTA would like to provide lunch for approximately 85 staff members on either November 21 or 22.

It’s a great way to thank teachers for the work they do throughout the quarter!

We’re looking for 1-3 people to pick the day, plan the menu (taco bar? sandwiches? Italian?), and organize volunteers. In the past, we’ve fed twice as many, so this should be a piece of cake!

Once those details are set, we’ll reach out to the membership, who are always incredibly willing and able to donate a bottle of soda, dessert or main dish item as needed.

Let us know if you’re interested in helping with organizing November’s luncheon by sending an email to cradlerockpta@gmail.com !

Please contact Susan Coghlan at susan@coghlanclan.com if you can help out at the Oct 15 Safety Fair. We are looking for volunteers to help during the child ID process that NY Life and the Masons are bringing to the Fair.

David Schwartz, author of “How Much is a Million” is giving a presentation to the Cradlerock Elementary students on October 10. His program is so amazing that Howard County Math Teachers say is the BEST program to encourage student interest in math on October 10. He is also giving a parent presentation that evening. to help defray the cost of his stay, we are looking for a family to host this amazing traveling author on October 9 and 10. Hosting will also include getting him to and from the school for his presentations. If you are interested in hosting David, please contact Susan Coghlan at susan@coghlanclan.com. You can learn more about Dave at his website: http://davidschwartz.com/about_david.html
