Thank you to everyone who came out for Skate Night. It was a BLAST. Special thanks to Dave Hartnett at the Mobil/Jolley for his generosity in donating hot chocolate and to everyone who volunteered and came out to celebrate our school community!
Staff Appreciation Week is coming up during the first full week in May (5/6 – 5/10). Be on the lookout next week for an email about signing up to contribute delicious surprises for the Flynn Staff. We will also be sending home a special way for students and families to appreciate staff members. Check Friday Folders next week!

Another good way to support our school:
Many companies have a philanthropic program for employees where they match the donations the employee gives. For example, if you donate $20, the company will also donate $20. In addition to a receipt, the details below could help you secure a match from your company.

Other ways to get involved:
Amazon has decided to discontinue the Amazon Smile program, so now is a great time to start scanning Box Tops. The PTO relies on fundraising and donations to provide events such as Skate Night, the Back to School BBQ, Teacher Mini-Grants, and much more!
Scan those Box Tops!
- Click this link to download the app: https://www.boxtops4education.com/s/get-the-app
- When prompted to find a school, type in the zip code ‘05408’ and choose Flynn from the choices and you are ready to start scanning those receipts!
- Don’t think you purchase items that count for Box Tops? Many brands such as Annie’s, Bisquick, Cheerios, Airborne, Go-Gurt, Lysol, Pillsbury, and much more are Box Tops brands. Scan that receipt and see if you can earn some money for Flynn!
Donate via Venmo. The PTO is a non-profit organization that relies on fundraising to continue its support of the Flynn community. If you are able to give a monetary donation to support the PTO programming, then it’s easy! Our Venmo account is @jjfl
