 On Thurs Aug 21, some CIS Knights made the trek to GABP to watch the REDS get hammered by the Atlanta Braves 8 zip.  Sometimes the score doesn't matter when you're at the ballpark with friends and having a good  time. GO KNIGHTS!

Welcome to 2014-15 CIS PTO

Welcome Back, CIS Parents!

On behalf of the CIS PTO team, I'd like to officially welcome you to the 2014-15 school year. Your PTO team has been diligently working hard to bring you a fresh look at what PTO offers and how our programs will benefit your students to bring them an exciting experience for their 5th and 6th grade years.

TWO IMPORTANT DATES
Paperwork day - Weds 8/13, from 3-5pm.  Bring in your forms and pay your school supply fees, and receive the class list of your student.
OPEN HOUSE - Mon 8/18, from 6:00-7:30 pm. Visit CIS, find where your classroom is, meet the teacher, and check out where your locker, library, gym, cafeteria and bathroom are!
PTO MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
There are 3 different ways to support our PTO this year:
School Directory - $5. When you support our PTO, you will receive a school directory full of valuable contact, school information and the CPN. A handy directory for your purse, computer bag, or desk at home.
Columbia Parent Network (CPN) - $10. Do you have a business? Share what you do with the families of over 600 students and promote your business for only ten bucks??? Yeah, you should!
Fundraiser Bundle - $100. With several fundraiser events throughout the school year, sometimes it's just easier to contribute in one fell swoop. The Fundraiser Bundle will cover 3 fundraisers: Fitness for Funds, Spooktacular and Spiritwear.
You have plenty of opportunities to complete the form and submit by our deadline of Sept. 12. We have a high goal for participation this year, and plenty of great new ways to support this important organization, so please support your child's school and join PTO!

KNIGHT NATION AT THE REDS!   
Let's start out the year with a bang! We have a limited number of tickets for the REDS vs Braves on THURS AUG 21 for $12, plus Meet Gapper! Tickets are first come first served, so at $12 each they will go fast! Bring the fam and hang with some Kings Knights at GABP. WHEN TO BUY TICKETS: Paperwork day, or Open House. Cash or checks to CIS PTO.
If you have any further questions, and do not find answers on our website, please do not hesitate to contact me via any of my contact channels listed below.
