Challenger Learning Center's Mobile Planetarium comes to Taylor!

Check this out. Since we don't have a Planetarium here in town (yet!), we decided to bring the Planetarium to Taylor!

PTA sponsored Thursday's visit from Challenger Learning Center's Mobile Planetarium. Thank you to Challenger staff Erik and Joe for bringing engaging programs about our night sky and our place in the universe to our students!

Parents, ask your kids about it!

ARC Buck-a-Bag fundraiser October 22-25

TIGER FUND Update

The numbers are in and Tiger says, "Thank you!" to every family that contributed! Together we collected just over $1,627, which will go straight into programs for our kids – like a visit by Challenger Learning Center's Mobile Planetarium on October 18 for ALL students! PTA has also committed funds to reduce or eliminate the cost of several field trips that are coming up soon. And PTA will be buying AppleTV technology for classrooms that don't already have ActiveBoards!

Your generosity has also earned the entire student body
                                                           

Students and staff are invited to do up their craziest do on Friday, October 19, and then to keep their PJs on for our last day of school before conferences, Wednesday, October 24.

We didn't collect enough to earn Double Recess Day ($2,500) or Picnic and Popsicles on the Playground ($4,000). But it's never too late to donate! Any donationsthat come in throughout the rest of this school year will be counted towardTIGER FUND rewards. We'd love to give the kids a Double Recess Day and Picnic and Popsicles on the Playground any time later this year – and be able to fund even more great programs and resources for Taylor students.

As always, we welcome you to join us at PTA meetings, the 2nd Tuesday of each month, at 5:30 p.m. to help decide how your fundraising dollars are spent!

Sock Hop thank yous!



We had a great turnout and an amazing DJ. Thanks to everyone who came out and to our incredible staff and parent volunteers who helped make it happen. Thanks, also, to all who baked or bought items for our cake walk. A special shout-out to Village Inn for donating 15 pies (and to Alahn in the front office for making the phone calls).

We're already looking forward to the next fun community event!
