Dear Conn Magnet Elementary School Families,    

Panorama Survey: Helping students do their best in school requires a team effort. Parents, students, and schools all play important roles in this process. Help us make students' school experiences as positive and beneficial as possible by filling out this Family Engagement Survey by May 17. 

Big Idea Week Materials Request: Our annual Big Idea Week schoolwide experience will be the week of April 22 – 26. We are requesting the following items to ensure all our students have the materials they need to apply our IDEAS Design Cycle to solve a challenge that will change our world!   

• paper towel rolls 
• toilet paper rolls 
• small boxes (tissue, cereal, shoebox, snacks, etc.)  

Thank you for your support to empower our students to apply their creativity and problem-solving skills to make Big Idea Week a memorable and successful event for our school community.  

PTA Updates: The PTA needs YOU! We are looking for new board members and committee chairs for the 2024-2025 school year. No experience needed! Please reach out to president@connpta.org if you are interested or have questions.   

Please join us for a fun family-friendly volunteer opportunity! We'll be working at the Food Bank of Central NC on Capital Boulevard from 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 8 to sort and pack food donations for our community. Spots fill up fast, so please register ASAP if you are interested. Note that both children and adults need to be signed up to volunteer, which includes creating an account on the Food Bank website.   

Volunteers are needed to support hosting CONNival! We are looking for adult and middle/high school student volunteers. Please sign up today!
