From your Robert Crown PTO to you and your families, Happy Holidays!

The Robert Crown Holiday Shop will begin Monday, December 12th and run through Thursday, December 15th. This is an opportunity for your student to purchase relatively inexpensive gifts (up to $6) for family members (and pets too!). All gifts will be wrapped to ensure that holiday surprise! Volunteers are needed and will help with set-up, assisting students in choosing gifts within their budget, working registers, wrapping gifts, and clean-up. Please contact Laura Weintroub if you are interested in volunteering. We also welcome your support in donations of gift bags and tissue paper. Thank you!
Ahoy! This week students have the opportunity to visit Robert Crown’s Pirate Themed Book Fair during the school day and become a “Bookaneer” where “books are the treasure!” We are also holding a “Grand Event” on Wednesday, November 9th from 6:30-8, where students are welcome to bring someone “Grand” in their lives (a grandparent, parent, aunt, or uncle) to do some shopping, look for some treasures on a school treasure hunt, and enjoy Dippin’ Dots (additional charge). Come if ye dare!
Before you come to the Grand Event, grab some grub at Burger King. Mrs. Diol and a surprise guest will be taking orders from 5:00-6:30pm. Bring your coupon from school and Burger King will donate 20% of your purchase (designated meals) to Robert Crown’s PTO!

Next week is Red Ribbon Week! Red Ribbon Week is an opportunity to show respect for yourself and to pledge to live a healthy life. Please encourage your student to participate and celebrate with us October 24th-28th!

Thank you to all of those that came out for Pumpkin Fest! It was such a fun time and we hope your family enjoyed it.
The RCS PTO would like to thank everyone who helped make the event possible — the families who came out to enjoy the day, the wonderful RCS staff and PTO volunteers, the Wauconda Area Queens, the volunteers from the McHenry Kohl’s Cares Campaign, Wauconda High School FBLA and NHS, and Wauconda Middle School and Matthews Middle School NJHS.
A very special thank you to the following for their generous donations:

What a way to kick off our school year!! A special thank you to everyone that supported the Poppin’ Popcorn/No Hassle Fundraiser. We raised over $6650.00 for Robert Crown through our popcorn sale and No Hassle contributions! That money will be put to good use as we work on adding additional iPads for our students. Thank you again on behalf of the PTO board, we are truly appreciative. A special shout out to the Loomis Family, our highest seller. Great job to everyone who participated!!
