Book Drive Jan 5-31

Comments Off on Book Drive Jan 5-31

From Jan 5–31, we’ll be collecting gently used K–5 books to prepare for this year’s Read-a-Thon. Before the Read-a-Thon begins in late February, every student will get to choose a free “new-to-you” book—and your donations make that possible!

As you make room for new holiday reads, please consider donating books your family has outgrown. We especially need graphic novels and chapter books for grades 3–5.

Have books ready now? Email Read-a-Thon Co-Chair Kimberly Vande Voorde at kvvoorde@gmail.com to arrange a pickup.

This year, our focus is all about connection and community – across grade levels, among families, and between parents and staff. We’d love to see you there to share ideas, get updates, and find ways to be involved that fit your life.

✨ Why come?

  • Meet other families & staff
  • Learn how PSO supports classrooms, teachers, and fun events
  • Hear about ways (big & small) to get involved
  • Help shape an unforgettable year for our kids! 🎉

Whether you just want to listen in, share your voice, or explore volunteer opportunities, your presence makes a difference.

This year, instead of asking families to purchase school supplies, we’re excited to host a Snack Drive to support our amazing teachers and students! 🎉

All donated snacks will be evenly distributed to teachers and used throughout the year. The PSO will maintain a central snack pantry, ensuring classrooms stay stocked without teachers needing to make additional requests.

Your contributions will help keep our students energized and focused — thank you for supporting our school community!!

Dear Parents,

The Byrom Jog-a-thon is happening this Friday, October 4th, and it’s one of our two major fundraisers for the year! This is a wonderful opportunity to support Byrom, especially as we’ve reduced the number of fundraisers this year.

Below is the schedule for the day:

  • 2nd/3rd Grade: 9:00 AM – 9:30 AM
  • Kinder/1st Grade: 9:45 AM – 10:15 AM
  • 4th/5th Grade: 10:30 AM – 11:00 AM

We still need volunteers to help make this event a success, we need more helpers for the water tables, someone to run the music and class escorts for Truax. If you’re available, please sign up using the link below:
Volunteer Sign-Up

For more details, please see the attached flyers. Thank you for your continued support! Let’s make this year’s jogathon a fun and successful event for everyone.
