Hey Bulldog Community!
Tomorrow our wonderful Halloween Committee will be taking all of the games and inventory for the Halloween Carnival out of the basement. We’ll be checking what we have, what we need, what needs fixing, and what’s ready to go so we can be well-prepared for the carnival later this month.
If you’re available to help, it would be greatly appreciated! They’ll be meeting after school, from 3-5pm (kids welcome) and the more hands we have, the quicker it will go.
Thanks!

Remember to volunteer at school the district asks that everyone fills out the Civicore application. If you have volunteered in the past it’s good to go in and resubmit and update your application at the beginning of the year as well. If you have children at multiple schools you can list all those schools as well in the application. Thanks!
Niles Elementary has an active Parent Teacher Association (PTA) that is well supported by the Niles community. The PTA sponsors a variety of activities including parent education, fifth grade promotion and much more.
Throughout the year the PTA organizes and coordinates events and activities that help enrich the students academic experiences. Volunteers can participate in a variety of these events and activities including room parent, site committees, Reflections, and more.
Niles PTA invites you to join us in making a difference in the education and quality of life for all our children. PTA meetings are normally held the first Tuesday of each month at 7:00 P.M. virtually on Zoom (for now until we can return to the Library - P6). All are invited and encouraged to attend! You are also encouraged to join the Niles PTA to stay informed with the latest Niles PTA related communications.
Donations always welcome.

We are looking forward to a year full of new experiences and would appreciate having your support.
