Good morning Birch Lane Families,

We've had a wonderful time during our FUNdraiser this past week, especially at yesterday's Fun Run. We hope the events brought joy to the children; we certainly enjoyed hosting them!

We would like to extend our deepest thanks for your incredible generosity. We have officially reached our goal of $20,000, and we haven't wrapped yet! The donation link will remain open through Monday, April 27th.

Visit give.mybooster.com/birch-lane-elementary-school-1 to donate.

Every dollar raised will be dedicated to programs and activities that enhance the student experience at Birch Lane. We are proud to offer more Arts & Education programs than any other school in the district—an achievement that would not be possible without your support.

Thank you again for your continued dedication to our school community.

Sincerely,

Birch Lane PTA

Our FUN RUN is tomorrow! Please have the children dress in either their class shirts, or grade color, and wear sneakers! We have some new surprises this year, and this event has truly turned into one of the most favorite events of the school year!

We still have more fun in store as we wrap up our FUNdraiser! We hope the children are enjoying their time throughout the week!

Thank you as always!

Dear Birch Lane Families,

Our "It's a Great, Big World—Get Out There and Play!" Booster FUNdraiser is off to a fantastic start. We hope your children are enjoying following our mascot, Chippy, on his travels around the world!!

We are reaching out to encourage all families to participate as we work toward our $20,000 goal. These funds support many of our PTA events, and we are thrilled to report that we have already reached 30% of our goal! Thank you for your incredible support!

There are two ways to help:

- Give: Donate at MYBOOSTER.COM
- Share: Send your student’s fundraising link to family and friends

As a family, you can GIVE at MYBOOSTER.COM, SHARE your student’s fundraising link with others, or BOTH! If this is not the right time to financially give, we fully understand. Simply sharing about our fundraiser online IS supporting our fundraiser.

Expand your reach! We are accepting business donations. Please contact Amanda Tasakovic at mrstasakovic@gmail.com for more details This event is a wonderful opportunity for students to build school spirit and make a meaningful difference.

We are consistently amazed by the generosity of our Birch Lane families and look forward to all that we are able to give back to our community with the funds we raise!
Thank you as always!

Best regards,

Birch Lane PTA

Good Morning Bus 1 Families,

Mrs. Larkin and I have been monitoring student behavior on bus 1. We are happy to report that students have been working hard to maintain safe and appropriate behavior. As a result, we have informed our students that they are allowed to sit with their classmates within their grade levels. We will continue to monitor their behaviors closely to make sure that these behaviors are being maintained. Thank you for your partnership and support! We are super proud of them!

Best Regards,
Stephen Aspetti and Joyce Larkin
