Poly Drivers: Talent Show brightens our winter

That’s a wrap, folks! Thanks to all who participated in and attended the Poly Drive Talent Show on Friday, March 2. The well-attended event was packed with plenty of great music, variety, art, dance – and dessert!

A big round of applause goes to the wonderful student, parent and staff volunteers who helped make the evening possible, the dedicated PTA planning committee and Mrs. Langeliers for presenting a star-studded show! Thanks to Mr. Croff for continued support of the beloved Poly tradition. Thank you to Deva Gallagher and Ms. Walker for coordinating the Art Shows. Sincere thanks also go to Principal Sulser and staff at Lewis & Clark Middle School for being great hosts, and to MSU-B for their student volunteers.

Poly Drivers: Breakfast honors armed forces members

On Friday, Nov. 11, nearly 150 people gathered to honor and remember the sacrifices made by members of the armed services. Poly Drive PTA again hosted the Veterans Day Breakfast.

PTA chairperson Dana Ludden reported the breakfast was a success, with community members and Poly families generously donating to the effort. Special thanks to Starbucks, Evergreen IGA, Perkins, Fiesta Mexicana and the Murillo family, and Poly families that donated items. Special recognition also to Mrs. Robinson’s class for setting up America’s White Table to honor our fallen and missing soldiers.

On behalf of the Poly Drive PTA, thank you to all veterans for your service.

Poly Drivers: March Madness nets funds and fun

March Madness mixed old favorites and new features. Initial figures from the Mar. 31 event indicate about $500 raised from the Dino-ize Croff effort. And dessert enthusiasts paid about $1,500 at the new Decadent Dessert Auction. After expenses, $8,593 was raised to benefit the PTA STEM fund at Poly Drive.
A highlight of the evening was Principal’s Croff stint as a T-Rex. He marched through the hallways in the inflatable suit, as students reached their fundraising goal.
