If you select “Pickup” as your shipping method, all items will be shipped to Skillin for FREE. A PTA member will be in touch with you how you would like your purchase delivered to you - sent home with student, dropped off by a PTA member, or picked up at the school.
Playground Meetup this Sunday
Join us this Sunday, May 7 from 1:00-3:00 on the Skillin School playground for our second Playground Meetup of the Spring. Come meet other Skillin families and enjoy an afternoon on the playground. We’ll have light refreshments, music, games, and fun!
Teacher Appreciation week is May 8-12
Teachers help our students BLOOM! Each day the week of May 8-12 will have a special event to celebrate our amazing teachers and show them appreciation for their hard work.
Monday - Brighten your teacher's day by wearing their favorite color to school or bringing in a picture you drew using their favorite color! Favorite colors will be sent home in your student's take home folder.
Tuesday - Let's fuel up our teachers, breakfast will be served!
Wednesday - On their door, teacher's will find a surprise! Notes written in SEL by students for their teacher will be displayed on classroom doors.
Thursday - Our garden is in full bloom because of our teachers! Staff will have a "growing gift" waiting for them in the teacher's lounge.
Friday - Mmm, mmm! Lunch will be provided for all staff.
We need your help to make Teacher Appreciation Week a success! We need donations of food and drinks for Tuesday’s breakfast and Friday’s lunch, and need a few volunteers to help decorate doors on Wednesday and set up lunch on Friday.
