Within each class, children are assigned to the red or the white team. The team/color should be indicated on the order form. Please don’t feel obligated to buy a shirt; kids can wear any white or red (color for whichever team they are on) t-shirt that day to school.
If the form is missing and you wish to order a shirt, please send the following information:

Chatham Park’s Beautification Committee is hosting a raffle for a $25 gift certificate to Rita’s Water Ice and another $25 certificate for AMC Movie Theaters to pay for additional flowers and shrubs for the gardens at the school entrances.
Raffle tickets are 50¢ cents each or 3 for $1 and can be purchased until Friday, May 7th. Raffle ticket money should be in an envelope marked “Garden Raffle” with the child’s name and turned into homeroom teachers.
The Dorice Scott Memorial Garden, to the left side of the front steps, honors Mrs. Scott, who taught first grade at Chatham Park for more than 20 years. The Beautification Committee hopes to add additional flowers and shrubs there and to the garden planted near the kindergarten door.

Girl Scout Troop 5592 is asking our community to donate new baby items that will be given to the Mothers’ Home in Darby. A collection box is located outside the school office. Collection continues through May 7.
Items needed:
Mothers’ Home in Darby is a residential shelter for pregnant women and new mothers who are in crisis. Staff provide physical, emotional and developmental support including instruction in positive life skills, parenting, and job preparation.
This is the final week for collecting items for The Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education’s Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic. Please help the 4th Grade Service Club in their effort to assist those who care for injured wildlife in southeastern Pennsylvania.
This week, the club is collecting:
A huge collection box is outside the office and the club’s goal is to fill it a couple of times. So please help us to help all the volunteers who work at the Clinic to care for our wildlife.
The Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education’s Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic is in operation to care for injured, sick, and orphaned wildlife native to southeastern Pennsylvania and release them back into their natural habitat.
We’re moving into the 21st Century. No more purple volunteer forms! It’s all online, using PTO Manager.
Even if you can’t volunteer for any events, please sign up for PTO Manager using this link:

We will be making the Bulldog Browser using PTO Manager. If you do not have an entry (which is kept private) in the PTO Manager site, you and your student will not be included in the 2010-2011 Bulldog Browser. If your student is part of a shared custody agreement, each parent should have their own entry in PTO Manager.
If you have a middle school student and are already signed in to PTO Manager, you must make a new ID for your grade school student. PTO Manager IDs are given out by student name, not family name, not email address. PTO Manager’s suggestion is that families use the student name as the password for an easy way to separate accounts.
We are in the process of adding the year’s events to http://chathamparkfamilies.ptomanager.com/. If you don’t see your event, don’t worry! We’re adding the upcoming events now and will add the rest of the year later. Right now, it’s important for all families to sign up and get their addresses and emails into the system so we can start working on a great Bulldog Browser and eventful 2010-2011 year for the kids.
Thanks! Any questions? Email our Community Manager, Christine Cavalier-Purpura at cm@chathamparkfamilies.org
