Dear Albion friends and families,
The month of March was busy and filled with many events. Albion students and
staff celebrated with a Twins Spirit Day after a record breaking “Pennies for
Patients” collection. Student Council raised $1,155.17 to donate to childhood
leukemia research. March 14th focused on Math in honor of Pi Day. Classrooms
explored this mathematical calculation in a number of fun and interesting ways
throughout this day.
National School Breakfast week helped kick start our day. All students received a
free breakfast on Monday. The breakfast line was out the door all week as students
that participated in purchasing a breakfast entered into a raffle to win a BMX style
bike. Dillon Rebello was announced as the Albion winner. Students and staff took a
day to celebrate Albion’s cultural diversity. All were encouraged to dress in a
manner that celebrates their personal heritage and family culture. Heritage day
fostered positive discussion about culture and differences. Thanks to all that
participated.
Third and fourth grade students and staff have been working hard all year and are
prepared to show they have mastered the ELA, Math and Social Studies standards!
Please note the following test dates for third and fourth grade students below.

As we look ahead, Albion will host a community meeting at our school on April 19th. As you know, the
Community Engagement Task Force presented a recommendation to the Board and Community on February 1st
to address the facility needs of the district. That recommendation was to build new at the elementary level,
renovations at the middle school, and a combination renovation and new construction at the high school. The
Board of Education is now holding these meetings at each school to get parent and community members’
feedback before any decision is made. Hope to see a great turn out on this evening.
Sincerely,
Mr. Vince Ketterer

3rd VP – Cristina Hornik
4th VP – Christine Dockrill
Secretary – Ann Gurin
Treasurer – Open at this time

Congratulations to the executive board members! I encourage all PTA members to consider chairing a
committee for the 2016-2017 school year. The list will be available at the next meeting, or you can email me if
you have any specific committees you would like to help with.
There are still opportunities to volunteer your time for PTA events yet this year. Muffins with Mom is coming
in May, a great time for Dads to step in and help out. Teacher Appreciation, Field Day, School Carnival and
end of year picnics are also coming up and in need of volunteers. More about these opportunities will be sent
within the newsletter and posted on FB. Albion PTA depends on the time and talents of all of our members
who choose to volunteer their time, many thanks to all of you who have offered your time and help.
Thanks to:
Allison Fowler and her wonderful team of volunteers for all their hard work in organizing a
successful fundraiser!
Sara Hatfield for another successful BoxTops collection.
Rebekah Thompson for organizing our Marco’s pizza nights
Tammy Fulmer for a fantastic Art show
To all the volunteers who help with everything—we could not do this without you!
Our next meeting will be held Friday, April 15th
@ 9:30 am at the North Royalton Library. As always, thank
you for your continued support and if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
Hoping you had a great Spring Break!

Thank you for making the 2016 Albion Family & Friends
Night at The Jump Yard a huge success!!
Thanks to the overwhelming support of our PTA fundraiser at The Jump Yard, we were able to raise more than
$6,200! We couldn’t have done it without everyone who volunteered and donated. A special thanks to The
Jump Yard for allowing us to host the event at their facility at a discounted rate and giving us a percentage of
the concession and arcade sales for the evening.
