Rock the River- A big “Thank You” for the amount of support we received during this fundraiser. We enjoyed seeing the students each morning and hope they had fun participating. We are still adding to our total count as the donations are still coming in daily via mail. Our all school celebration will take place on Friday, September 9th.
Box Tops- We are currently in our first Box Tops contest of the year. Clip and send those box tops in until September 23rd, when this contest ends. Winning classes will be rewarded with a special snack for the fall party:
1st Place- Pizza
2nd Place- Ice Cream
3rd Place- Popcorn
PTO Meeting- We encourage you to take part of the fun changes happening in the PTO this year! Our first meeting is September 19th and will be going along with our “Games” theme for the year. We plan on this being a fun, interactive time where you can get to know your teachers and staff better while meeting fellow parents as well. Refreshments will also be served. All first time attendees will be entered in a drawing for a small gift-card! Bring your kids, bring a friend and come join the fun in the LGI Room at 6:00pm!
Book Fair- Our fall Book Fair will run from September 22-30. Students love this event and we are happy to help encourage the love of reading. As always, this is an event for every student and we could use all the help possible to keep things running smoothly. If you are able to volunteer please reach out to Sarah Disser (sarahdisser@yahoo.com).
