Hello SKCEE Families!
We had a wonderful week tie-dyeing t-shirts with Ms. Cookie. A big thanks to all the volunteers who helped out! Our Dine-Out at Tia’s Taqueria this month was also very successful so thank you to everyone who showed up and supported SKCEE! As we head into October, we’ve got our biggest fundraiser of the year – the Scamper! See below for Scamper details and what else is happening at SKCEE:
SKCEE SCAMPER – OCT 26-30
What is the SKCEE Scamper?
The SKCEE Scamper is our annual fundraiser. This year we hope to raise $35,000 to fund a paraprofessional for students, give our teachers extra classroom resources, and keep SKCEE the magical place our kids love to learn and grow. The Scamper has two main events:
How YOU can support the 2026 SKCEE Scamper:
Plus—each classroom is creating a themed Class Basket that will be included in the Silent Auction. Families can donate items or money toward their class basket. Reach out to your room parents for details or if you have any questions!
If you’d like to donate or sponsor, please reach out to Lauren Busch at laurenlblamer@gmail.com or Emily Crew at emily.m.g.crew@gmail.com. All contributions are tax-deductible!
IMAGINE MATH FAMILY NIGHT – TUES, OCT 6 | 3:30PM-5PM
Join us for a fun, hands-on evening and learn simple ways to support your kindergartener or future kindergartener with math at home. Parents/caregivers and students attend together, and childcare will be available for siblings who are not SKCEE students. Please RSVP here so we can make sure we have enough families to bring this special program to SKCEE!
OCTOBER PTA MEETING – THURS, OCT 8 | 5PM-6PM | ROOM 101
Join us for our next PTA meeting in Room 101. We will be discussing our biggest event of the year — the Scamper! Childcare will be provided.

SKEEE PTA
Dear SKCEE Families,
Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year at the Stephen Knight Center for Early Education! Whether you’re joining our community for the very first time or returning for another wonderful year, we’re so excited to have you as part of the SKCEE family.
A new school year brings new friendships, exciting milestones, and so many opportunities to make lasting memories. The SKCEE PTA is looking forward to another amazing year of supporting our students, celebrating our teachers and staff, and bringing families together through fun events and meaningful volunteer opportunities.
The PTA helps make many of the experiences our students love possible—from family events and school traditions to teacher appreciation and classroom support. Every event, fundraiser, and volunteer helps make SKCEE an even more special place for our children to learn and grow.
We’d love for you to stop by our PTA table during Meet & Greet on Thursday, August 20, from 3:00–4:00 PM. Whether you’re brand new to SKCEE or a familiar face, it’s the perfect opportunity to connect with other families and learn more about what’s ahead this year.
While you’re there, you can:
• Join the PTA
• Purchase SKCEE spirit wear
• Learn about volunteer opportunities
• Meet other SKCEE families
• Ask questions and get connected before the school year begins
One of the best parts of SKCEE is our incredible parent community. Whether you have one hour to volunteer at an event or want to take on a larger role, every contribution makes a difference.
We’re currently looking for volunteers for the below if you want to sign up you can click on the link:
• Room Parents

Thank you for being part of our wonderful school community. We can’t wait to see all the smiling faces, celebrate new adventures, and make the 2026–2027 school year the best one yet!
PTA membership is a great way to get involved in the SKCEE community, and members have a vote on any issues raised at monthly PTA meetings. Membership is $15 for an individual, $30 for a couple, and $10 for SKCEE staff
SKCEE PTA has other fundraising activities you can participate in such as Mabel’s Labels, and BoxTops.
PTA Funding Request Application / PTA Reimbursement Form
Traditional Box Tops clips are being phased out; however, we still encourage you to bring any clips you have, or find into school to feed your classroom Box Top Animal!
BOX TOPS IS MAKING IT EASY. No more clipping. No more sending Box Tops to school. All you need is your phone. Download the ALL-NEW Box Tops app, shop as you normally would, then simply scan your store receipts to find participating products. The app will automatically credit your school’s Box Tops earnings online. The best thing about this is that friends and family near and far can also contribute by downloading the app and selecting our school as well!
Mabel’s Labels supports SKCEE! Mabel’s Labels is a great source for labels — take a look at their labels made specially for your child’s water bottle, folders, backpacks, etc. They are waterproof, dishwasher proof, cute, and custom labels. Part of proceeds will roll back to the SKCEE PTA! Select “Support a Fundraiser,” and Find Stephen Knight Center for Early Education in the drop down menu. Thanks for your support!
For all your printing needs, whether its pictures, mugs, phone cases, calendars, blankets, or other odds and ends, Shutterfly offers quality and customer service you would expect.
