We will be e-blasting our volunteer needs shortly, and there will be a lot of flexible spots to fill. Remember, this is our
PRIMARY fundraiser, so please consider this when donating, seeking sponsors and providing us with a little bit of your time. Students raising $50 or more earn a newly designed DAT T-shirt! If you know an organization that might be interested in being one of our Corporate Sponsors (in return for lots of publicity in various media based upon sponsorship levels), please contact Marlo Ayres at
marloayres@comcast.net.

Sloan PTO's first family event of the year was a wild and crazy, fun-filled party! Oodles of kids showed up to dance, munch on nachos and popcorn, decorate cookies, take #selfies, get face-painted and hair-wrapped, play guessing games, be mystified by "street magic," win cakes, enjoy Kona ice and generally just roam the halls with their friends.
Fall Family Fun Night was free to Sloan families and a great introduction back to school.
A big thanks to those who reached into their pockets to support our yummy treats and sweets in the cafeteria and purchase Kona Ice. 100% of your donations go towards ensuring our children have an unforgettable experience at Sloan. We appreciate your generosity.
Special thanks to our cake donors, Luusje Walstra and Alyssa for donating their time running the hair wrapping station and Our FR NHS volunteers for the awesome face painting and tattoo art. Congratulatons to Alaina McGrath and Addison Arena for winning the guessing games. Their yummy prizes have been delivered.
