Looking Ahead...
Senior Luncheon
Thursday, November 9th is the annual Senior Luncheon, chaired by Ms. King. Sargent teachers and the PTO collaborate to provide senior citizens from the community with a catered lunch in the auditorium from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. We still need volunteers to sign up to assist with running the luncheon that day. Contact us to get involved.

Family Fun Night: Pajama Party
Since our October Family Fun Night was such a success, we're making plans for a holiday-themed pajama party Family Fun Night on Friday, December 8th. We'll be showing a classic holiday movie for the whole family. Vote on which movie we should show on our Facebook page!

This Family Fun Night will also feature a vendor fair with local crafts, art and handmade items for sale. Parents can shop while the kids watch a movie! Reserve a vendor spot for only $10 (a donation to the PTO). Contact us for the official vendor sign-up form.

Chipotle Fundraiser
Eat at Chipotle in Fishkill on Sunday, December 10th between 4:00 and 8:00 pm, and 50% of your meal’s total will be donated to the Sargent PTO! Bring in the flyer (which will be sent home in a few weeks), or show it on your phone, or simply tell the cashier you’re there for the Sargent fundraiser (and the giant burritos). It’s dinner for a great cause!

Parents' Night Out
On Friday in December 15th, the PTO will hold a "Parent's Night Out" fundraiser. From 6:30 to 9:30, volunteers will entertain your child while you have a chance to do some holiday shopping, organize your home, or enjoy a quiet dinner. We'll provide dinner and beverages for your child, too. Contribute $25 for the first child and $15 for every child after that as a donation to the PTO. Drop your child off at the Sargent Elementary Auditorium between 6:30 and 7:30 and take some time for yourself. This is also a great opportunity to use your PTO Discount Card at participating businesses in Beacon!
Shop and Believe in Sargent Kids!
