INFORMATION UPDATEIf you have information (e-mail address, phone number or home address) that has changed, please contact the school office so we can update our records. The new school directory will be coming out in the near future and we would like it to have the most up-to-date information.
SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR INFORMATION
Friday, September 5th, from 5-7pm and Saturday, September 6th, from 9-noon, we will be hosting a fall Scholastic Book Fair located in the gym lobby. Students and teachers were able to preview books on Friday, September 5th and make their wish lists.
Our school will receive 60% of the profit from the fall Book Fair. (For the February Book Fair we will receive 70% of the profit. We receive a higher percentage at the second book fair because we are hosting two book fairs this year.) Between the two fairs it is our goal to purchase listening centers for Kindergarten through Second grade and the Reading Resource room. We would also like to purchase books for all the classrooms and the library.
SAVE THOSE INK CARTRIDGES
Please save your used ink cartridges and put them in the box outside the office doors. The 7th grade class is raising funds to go to Gettysburg and Washington D.C. next year and any help would be greatly appreciated.
