BIG THANKS TO CANNON PTA FOR SUCCESSFUL FAMILY NIGHT FUNDRAISERS! Our Cannon PTA has been super busy this fall sponsoring fundraisers to raise money that will benefit our students and our school!  They have worked tirelessly to organize fundraisers and family nights, including the October family night at Spring Creek Barbeque!  Spring Creek presented a check to PTA last week for $900!  PTA has scheduled family nights, called Cubs Nights Out, in different locations for each month. For families that participate in these family nights during the scheduled dates, our PTA will received a percentage of all sales.  This month's Cubs Night Out is scheduled for this week at Wise Guys Pizzeria.  If your family eats out at the Grapevine Wise Guys Pizzeria from 11/16-11/18, and present a copy of this flyer found here on the PTA Facebook page, 15% of your purchase will be donated back to our PTA.  Be sure to watch each month's calendar in this newsletter to stay informed about Cubs Night Out locations.   Thanks PTA!!
