PTE close to goal for New Play Ground!
The PTE held their monthly meeting at Eagle Elementary last night. Playground Committee Chair, Sara Martin announced that the PTE was very close to meeting their goal for the new play ground!
One of the many fund raisers the PTE is involved with is the Eagle Fun Run this Saturday, May 16th. All profit from this Fun Run will go towards the new playground at the school.
It's not too late to sign up! See below for more details.
Also, DeeAnn Retzlaff will be selling KFOR tickets for $5.00 each. These tickets allow the child who is assigned to them free admission to several Lincoln area businesses. Including: The Lincoln Childrens Museum, Champions Fun Center, Lincoln Zoo and many more savings! The best part is that the entire amount goes back to the PTE! These are also going to the new play ground this year.
Last but not least, Heather Brown will be selling Eagle Elementary Cook Books at hte Fun Run! These books were put together by the students, teachers and parents of the school. There are plenty of great recipes waiting to be tried and enjoyed!
Eagle Garage Sales!
Eagle Garage Sales are almost here! They are always the held the first full weekend in June. This year the dates are June 6 and 7. It's just $2.00 to register your garage sale. This puts your address on the map that is delivered to every house registered to be posted those days. It also helps pay for the advertisement of the garage sales. Last but not least it allows you to place your unwanted items at your curb Sunday to be picked up by Bits and Pieces of Elmwood. This is a great opportunity to have a successful garage sale. The area garage sales are very popular and Eagle is lucky to have a good following of people just waiting for the first weekend in June to come around! I will try and have the registration on here to be downloaded and printed out at your convenience. Otherwise, they can be found at Eagle State Bank, Lou's Grocery, The One Eyed Dog, American Exchange Bank, Kabredlos, Casey's and Corner Cafe.
