Spring is in the air! And your BVNW PTO is still working hard to make the end of the year wonderful for our students and teachers! 

Here's what you need to know and what you can do to help!

• The next PTO Board Meeting will be on Monday, April 6th at 6:30pm where we will be joined by Ms. Vomhof. Agenda will cover new Board Members, impact of budget cuts, Membership & Yard Sign pricing and more. See the "What's To Come" section for the details. PTO Members and Prospective Members welcome! 

• LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO DO AFTER TESTING/EARLY RELEASE ON TUESDAY? Activate Games is offering a 20% discount for BVNW students (with code: BVNWFUN26) on Tuesday, April 7th. A portion of proceeds comes back to the PTO as well! Click HERE to reserve your spot or see flyer below for details.

• Parent volunteers are needed to make Prom Night a success on Saturday, April 18th. Click HERE to sign up.

• BVNW PTO will sponsor a FREE Student Day Out Activity at SERV on Monday, April 20th, 11:30am-3:00pm. Pickleball, patio games and lunch will be provided. Sign your kiddo up HERE.

• Staff Appreciation Week is coming up fast: May 4-8. The PTO is organizing a luncheon for our hardworking teachers, administrators and staff on Friday, May 8th. Look for the sign-up in your inbox soon!

The PTO still needs a Concessions Inventory Manager for next year (typically a 2-year commitment). This role plans and purchases supplies for our Concessions booth and restocks during games as needed (only 3 home games this year!) in the Fall. 

Concessions are a valuable service as well as an important source of revenue for the PTO and Clubs that work the booth. If this role remains unfilled, the PTO will not be able to continue Concessions and will have to reduce our operating budget. Please help! 

If you are interested in supporting your school or learning more, please email our Concession Manager, Johnny Johnson, at jlj.johnson@aol.com .

THANK YOU FOR GETTING INVOLVED SO THE PTO CAN KEEP DOING THESE ACTIVITIES FOR OUR SCHOOL AND STUDENTS!

The PTO paid the way for student fans to cheer on our Boys and Girls Varsity Basketball teams as they battled it out for a chance to go to state! And celebrated our Girls' State Finalist once they returned after break! Photos above.

3/23: A big thank you to our PTO Staff Appreciation Committee who treated our teachers to breakfast before their In-Service Day just after break!

PTO Grants at work (see photos below): 

• New take-away art kits in the Library made one student's shoes dazzle! 
• Our baseball players assembled the new outfield screen partially paid for by a PTO Grant!

Our Mission is to foster a strong sense of community, support student spirit and achievement, and strengthen the partnership between parents, teachers and administration. 

We plan to do this by:

• Supporting our teachers, counselors and school staff, so they feel appreciated and equipped with resources needed.
• Supporting events, sports, clubs and extracurricular activities that enable all students to have positive experiences and build pride for their school.
• Informing, engaging and growing our community of PTO Members and Donors.
