Volunteers Needed For PTO Events
Hi Killam families,
The PTO is looking for volunteers for two big events coming up. Please let me know, or contact Vanessa Curry (killamptopresidents@gmail.com) if you are interested or would like more information.
1. Parent's Night out (March/April) - this is a fun night out for Killam parents, and one of our big fundraisers that allows us to have so many events and field trips for the kids all year long! We are looking for one or two people to lead the committee of volunteers to help plan this event.
2. Mathnasium (3/12, 6-730pm) - we need 25 volunteers to help staff the game tables, volunteers can be parents, high school, or middle school students. Mathnasium provides instruction on how to play each game and no experience is necessary. Please use this SignUp Genius to register.
Thank you in advance for your help in making these events successful!

Classmate Donation
Hi everyone,
Our buddy James is having surgery this week and I was hoping to send him a basket of some of his favorite snacks and things to do from the couch while he recovers. I was thinking of books to read, maybe a WordSearch, a board game, a lego to build or things of that sort. I spoke with Mrs Bruno and she will be having the kids all make him a card which I will also include in this basket which I hope to deliver this weekend. If you would like to contribute please Venmo me at Allison-Greenleaf-5 or send cash/check into school with Gannon’s name on the envelope. Absolutely no pressure to contribute and any amount would be much appreciated and I think we could put something great together to lift his spirits. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week! Thanks for your help!

Class Holiday Gift
Hi Everyone, Happy Holidays! I will be collecting money over the next couple weeks to purchase a class gift for Mrs. Bruno. If you are able to donate (no donation too big or small) please send cash with your student to give to Quinn McDonnell or simply Venmo me @soxylady58. Please try and send all donations by 12/17. I will make sure I send an update here with the gift items and a photo.
While I have you, Killam has an awesome fundraising opportunity right now… all you have to do is sign up/create an account and you can purchase gift cards and do some online shopping! Through RAISE RIGHT (see attached flyer) every purchase kicks back some money to Killam! I saw Starbucks and Amazon on there so I’m all set! Here is the link:
https://www.raiseright.com/enroll/R58KNPU6L6H9
If you are ordering holiday cards don’t forget Minted is partnering with Killam to give a 20% off discount and donate 15% of proceeds back to our school! Their cards are amazing! Here is the code: FUNDRAISEJWKILLAM
Happy Shopping!
Thank you for taking the time to read this lengthy email…
