⭐️Hot off the press..

Hi Everyone-
Just a reminder that we will reschedule the "Me & My Guy" dance from April next year. We will transfer your tickets and payment to next year once we have a new date. We will also invite the new 7th graders since they didn't get their last dance as a 6th grader ! If you can not attend the new date then you can fill out the form (when we send it once we know new date) and we will issue refunds.

The problem is that the tickets are all locked in the school. We have deposited all the checks and cash. If there is an issue and you need your refund immediately- please email me at [email protected] .

THANK YOU for your understanding ! Have a great day !

Thank You Cards For Teachers (Free) | Greetings Island

✏️📎🖍✂️📚✏️📎🖍✂️📚✏️📎🖍✂️📚✏️📎🖍
Dear Como Park Parents and Students,

Tuesday, May 5th is Teacher Appreciation Day and we want to show our Como Park teachers how special they are. Our current situation has required our wonderful teachers at Como Park to take on a whole new way of teaching our children--one that is both challenging and time consuming. Since the children cannot thank their teachers with traditional hugs and cards, we wanted to make a coordinated effort to show the faculty and staff at Como Park how much they mean to all of us by using a slightly different approach. We are asking that each child SURPRISE his/her teacher, classroom aides, special educators and/or special area teachers with a virtual “hug” to let them know how much they are missed and appreciated.
Below you will find a few ideas regarding how to help your child express his/her gratitude in a personalized, creative way. We know that everyone has a lot on their plate these days, but any small token of appreciation will go a long way! If you are able to participate, please select one of the sample ideas below (or a similar original idea) and prepare a special message for your teacher(s). We ask that the messages be posted on Tuesday, May 5th, to the stream portion of your child’s google classroom page for their classroom teacher and any classroom aides. If your child receives instruction from any other teachers (OT, Speech, Reading, Math, Special Education services) please also consider sending a thank you to these teachers via their google classroom pages as well. If each child could send a message to at least one special area teacher (physical education, music, Library, art, etc), then we can ensure that each teacher has a truly special day!

Ideas for a Virtual Hugs/Thank Yous:

Take a picture of your child holding a homemade card for their teacher and type a special message
Make a little video clip where your child thanks his/her teacher, recites a special poem they made, sings a song, reads a heartfelt message or a book
Use one of the following sites (or a site of your choosing) to make an e-card that can be attached to the classroom stream or emailed to your child’s teacher
https://www.123greetings.com/
https://www.bluemountain.com/ecards
https://www.greetingsisland.com/cards/thank-you/teacher-appreciation
**Please consider sending a thank you to Mrs. Marcinelli and your art, physical education, Librarian and/or music teacher.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out at any time. Questions can be directed to Emily Galardo ([email protected] or 716-481-4286). Together, we can make this a special day for all of our Como Park teachers!

Sincerely,
The Como Park PTO

Create your own printable & online teacher appreciation cards. Choose from a wide variety of templates, add photos and your own message. Easy to customize and 100% free.

UPDATE:
There are still about 18 Niagara Candy Orders that we’re not picked up today. Please contact Karen Sepe to arrange for pick up. Please share
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⭐️Hot off the Press⭐️
(This was also sent to emails from Karen)

*I personally would like to thank you Karen for taking the time out to run this fundraiser and For figuring out how to get everyone their chocolate during this crazy time! Everyone needs to do their part, Karen sure has done hers! Thanks again Karen for being a part of and always helping out Como Parks PTO. ❤️

Thank you for your patience throughout this process. Many of you have questioned the wait...please understand that while Niagara Chocolates was still providing delivery and other schools may have been scheduling pickups at the school, Mrs. Marcinelli was not comfortable with this, given rules and procedures that have been put in place. The PTO Board fully supports that decision. Therefore, I will be taking the delivery at my house and will have the items available for pickup on Saturday 3/28 from 9-1.
⭐️PLEASE MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO HAVE SOMEONE PICKUP YOUR ORDER DURING THIS TIME.
I plan on having items set up in my garage or driveway to eliminate contact with everyone. Walk up, find your items, grab and go!
⭐️IF YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY UNABLE TO HAVE SOMEONE PICK UP YOUR ITEMS DURING THIS TIME, PLEASE TEXT ME TO MAKE OTHER ARRANGEMENTS.
I appreciate your cooperation with this.

⭐️⭐️⭐️From “The Friends of Como Park” regarding the Meat Raffle scheduled for tomorrow night.

Good evening, we just received word that we are unable to hold this event tomorrow night. We are very sorry. This event is going to either be rescheduled For a later date or if it comes down to it, we will be refunding families for their tickets. Both admission tickets and for tickets that were sold for the grand prize yeti cooler. Please refrain from calling Como Park School with any questions or for your refund. We do not want to disrupt the school day or the faculty at the school.
Further Information will go home with students sometime next week. Again, we are very sorry and just as disappointed as you are. Thank you to everyone who has bought tickets and who have donated baskets for a Chinese auction!

03/12/2020

⭐️Niagara Candy pick up is changed to March 19th from 3:15-5:45pm due to NO SCHOOL on the 20th. Sorry for the confusion with this one.
