School Store & More!

The school store will be open Tuesday's and Thursday's starting September 22nd! If your child plans to purchase supplies, please send a minimal amount of money as the items for sale are inexpensive.

What is The PTC Anyway?

Thanks so much for getting the blog started Chris! 

This will be a great place to share information and get feedback from Line School teachers and families!

I would like to take a minute to explain a few things about who we are and what we do.

We are a group of Line School parents, teachers and community members who work together to enhance the Line School experience!

We do so by hosting different free and low cost activities throughout the year to provide materials and resources to the students and teachers.

Line PTC funds things such as library books, playground equipment, all school field trips and more!

We meet the second Wednesday of every month in the library @ 3:30 to discuss current needs, ideas and events.

We try to keep the meetings to an hour and have been successful at it so far! 

The PTC provides babysitters for the children across the hall in the art room during each meeting.

There are snacks, fun and games for the kids as well as a monthly drawing for those who attend!

Our first meeting of the year will be September 9, 2009 @ 3:30 ~ Hope to see you there!

Watch for our volunteer sign up sheet sometime in September!

If you see a need on the page that you can meet, please fill out and return the form..
Every little bit helps!

Thank you for reading our blog!
