International Night & PTA Meeting October 6

Please join the Sawyer Road PTA as we celebrate our diversity. Come see your child be a superstar in the PTA's Diversity Means video. Come dressed in clothing that represents your heritage. Food sales and face painting begin at 5:30 and the meeting begins at 6pm.
We will also have cultural performances that you won't want to miss. Spirit Wear T-shirts will be sold. Short Sleeve $7 or 3/$20. Long Sleeve $9 or 3/$25. Cash only.

(All orders due on the 20th and 21st and orders will be delivered in time for the Thanksgiving holiday!) Butter Braids Pastries & Cookie Dough are back again by popular demand! Last year we had such a successful fundraiser by raising $3,000 for our Specials Department that we decided to raise our goal to $6,000 this year to raise money for FIELD TRIPS for grades K-5. Together as a school we can come together and raise this and more for our children. We have awesome incentives for each participant including a money machine with over $200 cash!

Fundraising - Butter Braids & Cookie Dough October 6th- 21st
