As summer winds down, the Easton PTO will hold its first meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 5, at 6 p.m. in the elementary school library. Child care will be provided.
We look forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting new families of Easton students as we prepare for the busy and fun-filled year ahead. Many hands are needed as we will hit the ground running with plans for the Harvest Party, Scholastic Book Fair and Christmas Bazaar — and, of course, fundraising.
Please ‘like’ the Easton PTO Facebook page and keep up with what is happening. For information email us at pto@eastonschools.org.

Fall cleanup day
The Town of Easton will provide a collection point at the town garage on the Fry Pan Road for household junk, such as appliances, tires, furniture, wood, etc., on Saturday, Oct. 21.
Wood products must be separated. No household garbage, used oil or commercial loads will be accepted. There will also be a collection point next to the recycling igloos behind the town office to dispose of electronics such as: televisions, computers, monitors, printers, fluorescent bulbs, circuit boards, cell phones, fax machines, scanners, laptops, DVD/VCR players, batteries and copiers. All recyclables must be deposited in the igloos behind the town office.
This collection is for Easton residents only. Coordinate your fall cleaning with the Town Clean-Up Day and make use of our efforts to make Easton a more beautiful place to live. Call 488-6652 with any questions.
