Thank you, thank you, to last year’s 5th grade class for their school gift of an interactive mimio board! With this wonderful gift we are well on our way to achieving our goal of 5 new mimio boards this year.
To date, our fabulous Sargent families have contributed over $4000 in our direct donation campaign. We are still busy counting our catalog returns. So far our savvy selling students have sold $16,800!
Here goes . . . we have met a major goal this year. We have sent our last hard copies of Monday Minutes, so you should be receiving them via email from now on. We will keep a small number of Monday Minutes in the main office of the school for people who need them. Thank you for your cooperation in registering your email addresses, and if there is still anyone out there who needs to do it, you still can.
Room Parents: Thanks to all the room parents, who attended the Room Parent Coffee on Friday, and thanks to the Hospitality committee for the treats. If you would like the Meeting Minutes, please contact Kim Hearst at KimHearst@comcast.net. Thanks again!
I want to support my kids, my teachers, and my school!
When we reach our goal of $30,000 (fully funded PTO budget), we will discontinue fundraising for the year! Our fellow elementary school Franklin (450 students) raised $50,000 last year! Please consider the merits of a Direct Donation ($40 per child or $60 family max) to your PTO. Contact Kim with questions or concerns.
Scholastic Book Fair: 10/20-10/24--The Fall book fair is just around the corner. There will be a great selection of books for all reading levels. The fair is a great place to do some early holiday shopping. Notices and flyers will be coming home soon. Want to volunteer! Please contact Paula Kushnir at 978-685-0098 or kushfam@comcast.net
