September 20th - September 24th
Sunday, September 26th is Johnny Appleseed’s birthday. We will be having a celebration on Thursday, September 23rd! A note will be sent home as a reminder on Monday, September 20th. Your child will be asked to bring in a peeled, cored, and sliced apple to school on Thursday, September 23rd to be used to make applesauce for the class. We are looking for donations of small bowls and plastic spoons. If this is something you are interested in helping with, please email me or send the items in any day before Thursday. Thank you in advance for your help!
There will not be school on Friday, September 24th! Please plan accordingly.
The PTO would like you to know about this great rebate program through Ultra Foods! Ultra Foods is inviting you to take part in the Ultra's Smart Shopper Program, and educational rebate program that generates CASH BACK to your school for educational needs. It's EASY! Shop your local Ultra Foods store from SEPTEMBER 1, 2010 through DECEMBER 31, 2010. Save your receipts and have your child turn them in to their teacher. At the end of this program, your school will submit a grand total of receipts collected and Ultra will remit a check for %5 of that total back to your school! WOW!!!!!!
