Pin Oak Middle School PTO

And the winners are…. drumroll, please: POMS students!

The fundraising results of the Bellaire Fun Run are in, and POMS PTO will receive $921.73 for our volunteers and runner participation. POMS had the most runners at 81 and Mrs. Monaghan has bragging rights for the 2014 race! Funds received go to the various programs our PTO supports for our students, teachers and community such as teacher grants and student advocacy.

Many thanks to Sally Lechin, our POMS PTO Race Liaison, for leading the charge and coordinating our volunteers and runners.

Join the Pin Oak Tri team at the Houston Texans Kids Triathlon April 19, 2015 at U of H (Free 7 week training program available).

If your child came home asking you to sign them up for the Houston Texans Kids triathlon, you will find all the information you need at

www.houstontexans.com/kidstriathlon

There was also a brochure that went home explaining how to register for the race.  Click this link to register for the race: http://www.imathlete.com/events/EventOverview.aspx?fEID=22593

Don’t forget to list Pin Oak as your team.

Our school will receive $10 back for each member of the team. Former students and friends can also sign up for the Pin Oak team.

Volunteers are also needed and we will also receive $10 for each volunteer and your student will receive volunteer hours! To sign up to volunteer, go to http://www.kidstriathloninc.org/houston-volunteer.html (make sure you list Pin Oak).

If your child wants to go one step further and use their race experience to help raise money for a Pin Oak family who has 2 children with a rare, fatal disease (GAN – Giant Axonal Neuropathy), please visit: https://my.reason2race.com/Event/houstontexanskidstri2015

Chairs Suzanne Rose and Andy Chan, along with their team of volunteers, have been busy planning and soliciting wonderful items for the auctions: getaway homes, fine dining, one-of-a-kind experiences, and great parties. Be on the lookout for information on pre-auction and post-auction events, as well, including a wine-pull party and shopping days. If you would like to volunteer or have an item to donate, please contact Suzanne, suzannekrose1@gmail.com, or Andy, andychanwues@yahoo.com.

POMS is proud of our parent involvement and grateful for the generous gifts given by our parents and community. With the funds raised at this event and others, the PTO is able to provide grant money for learning tools ranging from plasticized rats for dissection to math textbooks, from cheerleading mats to theatre lighting. This year, our special emphasis will be raising funds for technology; our goal: mobile laptop carts to provide learning for tomorrow’s
world.

We hope you can join for a great night of fun- and fund-raising and if you aren’t able to, consider other ways to support the school.

Pin Oak Theatre will be performing The Little Mermaid at 6 p.m. from February 25-27 and March 3-6, and at 2 p.m. on February 28.

Tonight’s the night!!! Come see who will be crowned the 2015 PIN OAK IDOL!!! There are so many talented acts, there is no telling who will win!! Come see all of the amazing Pin Oak students that are finalists in the show tonight.

Please arrive by 6:30pm to be seated and purchase tickets if you have not done so already. Park in the back parking lot or along Glenmont, please do not use the circle drive, parents will still be picking students up from practices and it will be very crowded.

If your student is a finalist, please have them back to the school by 5:30. Pizza will be served for dinner before the show. If they would prefer something else, please send something with them.

If your student is a volunteer, please have them check in with us in the MPR immediately after school so that they can begin set up. They will also be served pizza for dinner.
