Yankee Candle Fundraiser
We are officially kicking off our Fall fundraiser with Yankee Candle from October 1 - 19. Start thinking about holiday shopping now! Order forms and catalogs should have come home with your students, Please contact us with any questions. 40% of all sales are donated to the Salem PTO. This was one of our biggest fundraisers last year. Let's see if we can beat $2,800!
Watch D.O.G.S. Kick Off
Coyote Call Out for all of our Dads, Grandads, Uncles and important men in the lives of Salem Students! As Mr. Knapp mentioned in a previous issue of his Salem Scoop, Salem is kicking off the Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) program this month on Thursday 10/4 at 7:00p in the cafeteria. The goal of this program is to "improve the well-being of all children by inspiring and equipping men to more effectively be involved in the lives of children." A training session with pizza and pop will be provided for all interested "dads". Come to learn about the program. The commitment is that every "dad" find one day during the school year to volunteer at Salem.
Lyon Cinema
The Lyon Cinema in downtown South Lyon is hosting a Salem PTO fundraiser on Sunday 10/7 during the 4:30p showing of the new kids' film Smallfoot. This is a fun way to support a local business and enjoy a family friendly afternoon. Tickets are $7 with a portion of the sales coming back to Salem. Please remember to bring a copy of the flyer emailed home, or show a copy of it from your phone.
Trunk or Treat
The second annual Salem Elementary Trunk or Treat will be held on Friday, October 19th from 6:30 - 8:00 pm. Please come dressed in costume and ready for lots of treats, and hopefully no tricks like last year's weather. We also need your trunks! Please review the sign up genius that was distributed last week to sign up for any of the volunteer opportunities, including your decorated trunk. Prize will be awarded for the best decorated trunk. In addition we are asking for donated bags of wrapped Halloween candy. Each classroom that donates at least 10 bags of candy will be entered into a raffle to receive a special classroom surprise!
Box Tops
Our Box Top Coordinator Kathy Swan announced some great contest this past week to help support the school's efforts of hitting the $1,500 Box Top goal for the 2018-2019 school year. Make sure you keep clipping.
Monthly Contest: For every 5 Box Tops turned in, the student will be given 1 entry into a monthly drawing, held the 25th of every month. Winner will receive a Coyote Den Coupon. REMINDER that baggies must be clearly marked with the child's name and teacher's name to be entered into the drawing.
