Dear Parents,
Progress Reports go out today. This is a time when grades may often slide down. If so, talk to your darling, stay on top of homework, check papers that come home, and/or talk with the teacher.
We did great with the online shopping over the holidays. We will be receiving a check for $344.75. We were the highest-performing school (per capita) of any in our network. Because we were the highest, we receive an extra $100.00, so our total is $444.75!! Let's keep it up! Thanks to all the online shoppers. We had a total of 18 online shoppers.
Don't forget to pick up a Scrip card for shopping, eating, gas, birthday gifts and groceries. 'Tis the season for soup. Send in your soup labels and box tops.
Thanks so much for all you do to help the school. Keep up the great work.
Ms. Volker
