ptsg events
Arrival, Dismissal, and Lunch Help
During the first few weeks of school, Kindergarten can be overwhelming. There are many new procedures to remember and a whole new building to figure out. We provide extra help during arrival, lunch, and dismissal times to make sure the kindergartners are where they need to be and comfortable with the new procedures. We also offer extra lunch help for 1st and 2nd grade as they get back into the swing of things.

Dog Jog – September 27, 2019
Dog Jog is our biggest fundraiser of the school year and involves the entire school. Students run laps around the BWMS track in an effort to raise money. Students will bring home a fundraiser form and envelope to collect donations. Those donating can pledge a dollar amount per lap or give a flat donation. Every child will receive a student-designed Dog Jog t-shirt for no charge. Dozens of volunteers are needed for this fun, outdoor event.
Class Parties – November 27, 2019 & February 14, 2020
These are 45-minute fall and winter parties put on in classrooms by the students’ parents/guardians. These can be Thansgiving/Fall and Valentine’s Day themed, but the possibilities really are endless! Several volunteers are needed in each classroom to plan, organize, and throw each party. Class parties are organized by room parents so please contact your room parent for specific volunteer opportunities.
Book Fair – September 6-12, 2019 and April 8-15, 2020
Scholastic Book Fairs are a fun and easy way to buy books and other fun things! PTSG receives a portion of every dollar spent at our book fairs in the form of Scholastic Dollars, allowing us to purchase books and supplies for the entire school!
Grandparent's Dinner – September 10, 2019
Grandparents (or a special older friend), come on out and enjoy a spaghetti dinner with your student!
Santa Shoppe – December 2-6, 2019
This is a fantastic opportunity for your child to shop for Christmas gifts for his/her loved ones during the school day. Money can be sent into school with your child in a designated envelope. This envelope also gives you an opportunity to mark those family members you would like your child to shop for. Most gifts are only a few dollars, and unlike some schools, our committee handpicks each item. You’ll receive awesome gifts you actually want – No junk! Volunteers assist children in their shopping and then “wrap” gifts in tissue paper and label, so, you don’t even have to worry about accidentally peeking!
Muffins with Mom – January 17, 2020
This is a wonderful before-school breakfast for students and their mothers. Volunteers help plan the breakfast and serve moms and kids the morning of.
Time with Teachers – March 3, 2020
One of our favorite events! Students can “bid” on designated activities they’d like to do with a teacher after school. Students will be sent home with a form on which they will make their highest “bid” and choose their top 3 activities. Make sure these are returned to school promptly as tiebreakers will be determined by which student returned their form soonest! Every student who bids ANY amount will be given an activity. Kids can be picked up in a simple car line at 5:00. Think of it as a one-day low cost childcare your student will LOVE!
Donuts with Dad – November 15, 2019
Like Muffins with Mom, only with donuts. Because what father doesn’t want to share a plate of donuts with their kiddo before school?
Spring Fling – April 17, 2020
This is a school carnival on a Friday evening that is open to the community. So bring a friend, neighbor, or Grandma and Grandpa! There are games, food, and prizes handpicked by our committee. Fun for the whole family! This is a large event which requires a lot of volunteers. Luckily, volunteers can choose to either help the first or second half of the Spring Fling so there is still time to enjoy the carnival with your family!
