BAKE SALE (with Festival of Trees)

It’s time for the annual fall bake sale.  We will be having the bake sale along with the Festival of Trees on November 22/23.  We are asking each family to bring at least 3 items to sell – more is welcomed.  Please have items labeled and priced.  The list below is a good suggestion, but if you have more/different items to bring please feel free.  Please have your items to school by Friday, November 22 by 4 PM.  Pricing information is on back side.

 

 

CRAFT ITEMS (for Festival of Trees)

We are asking each family to donate 2 craft items for the craft sale at the Festival of Trees on November 22 and 23. These can be homemade or purchased crafts or gifts. Please price the crafts before bringing them to school. Items priced $25 or less sell the best. Items need to be at school no later than Thursday, November 21.

 

BUS SITUATION

We seem to continue to have complaints of students not showing proper respect toward others on the bus.  Please talk with your children, especially older students with being better examples and doing the “right” thing.  Also, misuse of food on bus, not cleaning up or throwing away of wrappers.  These both need to change or we will not be allowing students to ride the bus until these change.  We value our bus drivers and need to keep them.  Thanks, Mr. Schoonhoven

Thank you to everyone who turned in your Jog-a-thon money!  The kids did a fantastic job and raised over $5,200 for school!  This might be the most money ever raised from Jog-a-thon!  Thank you so much to the family, friends and parents who donated.  Your support is greatly appreciated!

 

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD SHOEBOX

Final day to bring shoebox items is Thursday, November 14.

The boxes are filling up in the hall, but we need many more things.  Our school goal is 100 boxes!  Please send empty shoeboxes to school as well.  We have a very generous donor that is willing to pay ALL of the shipping.  That means we don’t have that to pay so we can buy more things!  A few suggestions are art supplies, washcloths, soap, toys, books, coloring books, socks, flip-flops, hair things etc.  If you have any questions, please ask Mrs. Sieck
