Dear Copper Beech 5th grade Parents and Caregivers,
Welcome back to school! It’s going to be a great year for you and your student! The CB PTA has lots in store to help make your child’s last year at Copper Beech the best one ever! Below, are a couple of things to know as the school year gets fully underway:
Activity fee
To help offset costs for all the extra fun and farewell gifts your child will receive this year (class t-shirts, socials, end of year party, class trips, student gifts, etc.), we ask families to pay a $50 activity fee. This fee can be paid electronically via our website at: copperbeech.ptboard.com (on the sidebar under Forms & Payments you’ll find the 5th Grade activity fee) or sent through school with the second page of this letter enclosed in an envelope addressed to the CB PTA Treasurer, Alyssia Zimmaro (azimmaro@copperbeechpta.org). Please note that arrangements can be made for hardship situations, but we need to be made aware; please contact the school guidance counselor, Anissa Dungee (anissadungee@abington.k12.pa.us) regarding this need as soon as possible.
Please submit your child’s fee by Friday, November 10th, 2022.
Activity Fee collection contest
As an extra incentive, the homeroom that has the most activities fees collected by the submission date above will get an ice cream party for the class. The second place classroom will receive a pretzel party!
Special Activities, Events & Fundraisers
The PTA holds several fundraising events throughout the year to help raise money for its programs. Below are a few that we specifically ask for help from 5th graders and their families:
-
Car wash (Parents organize and students run this event) – First one 9/30
-
Snack stands at movie night, Jack Walsh Tournament, and trunk-or-treat 9/30, 10/8 & 10/9
-
Haunted Hayride at Valley of Fear – 10/13
-
5th grade dance (held at VFW) – 1/27
-
Talent Show (5th grade teachers, and students run this event) - TBD
Parents are needed to help coordinate these events and activities. If you are able to offer some of your time, please take a look at the sign-up and volunteer to help make this year the best one ever for your child: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080444a4ae22a3fc1-5thgrade1.
Also, feel free to share new ideas. Board members will be in touch with all the various coordinators for general directions and suggestions moving forward.
Together, we are Copper Beech.
