Have familyphotos made with a beautiful fall backdrop and enjoy a lunch of burgers, hot dogs & chips. Our silent auction will be bigger & better than ever - but we need more donated items/services.

Box TopsWe all shop for groceries, now turn those shopping trips into easy cash for Chenoweth, and encourage friends to do the same! All you need to do is clip and send them to school in an envelope with your student’s name on it.
The student who brings in themost boxtops in the fi rst 3 weeks of each month will be featured in the CHARGER, our PTA newsletter!

environmentalClub - NeW!
With the leadership of Mr. Henry, Mrs. Eklof and Mrs. Taylor, last month Chenoweth launched an environmental club open to 4th and 5th graders. The club meets on the 1st Thursday of every month right after school. More than 70 students signed up for the new club! During September the members went on a creek crawl and learned about the health of our local creeks and streams. Members of the club also helped separate and collect our recyclables to make our Gallop-a-Thon a zero-landfi ll event!
PLUS –It’s not too late to join the PTA!
