October Calendar Events
Box Tops for Education Class Competition: Help
your class win the Box Tops competition.
Collect “Box Tops for Education” labels, and then turn them in to your
teacher by October 22. Box Tops earn our
school funds for things like student folders and planners.
Cookie Dough: Right
in time for Thanksgiving break, cookie dough will arrive making your holiday
treat preparation simple. Help JME PTA
fund field trip buses with one of our biggest fundraisers of the year! Last year, cookie dough sales funded 15% of
all PTA activities. Let’s see if we can
bring that up to 20% this year! Our goal
is to sell 1375 tubs of cookie dough.
Last year we sold 1000 tubs! We
can do this Team Timberwolf! Orders need
to be turned in by October 12.
Auction Planning Meeting: Help
make this year’s auction the most fun and successful one yet! We will meet at Wendy Dexter’s house to
discuss theme, ticket sales, sponsors, and donations. Come with your great ideas and leave with a
full tummy. We will be eating while we
meet. Please call or email for
directions. 510-219-3326 or wendy@condorcountry.com.
Homecoming Float: Help
the float committee construct this year’s float after school on Fridays in Room
11. Bring your creativity and your
kids. This is a fun way to get involved!
Yankee Candle: Just in time for holiday giving, this new
fundraiser is designed to make your holiday shopping and decorating easy. Catalogs will be in Monday Mail on the 29th.
Membership Drive: This past month our John Muir PTA brought a whale
to school, created an original music CD, started creating the homecoming float,
and hosted the amazing Timberwolf Trot. These activities can only happen
with the help of parents and friends of the JME community. The best way
to ensure you can be a part of the action is to become a member of our PTA. This October, the PTA will be
holding a friendly contest to see which grade level can achieve the highest
percentage of membership. We already have over 100 members, but we would
love to double that number or more! For each membership you buy ($10), your
child(ren) will receive a credit. If you buy 2 memberships and have 1
student, they receive 2 credits or if you have 2 or more students they each
receive 2 credits. Any grade level that reaches 100% membership, each
student will receive a surprise. The grade level that achieves the highest
percentage, will win a special grand prize (TBD). So look for the flyers
next week and join us in making JME a dynamic learning community for all of our
students! The contest will end October 26th.

9/27:
K= 20% 1st= 32% 2nd=
34% 3rd= 35% 4th= 40% 5th= 22%
