CHECKS FOR ICE CREAM!
- If a parent wishes to purchase ice cream for the whole class to celebrate their child's birthday, he/she may do so by sending in a personal check made out to Simpson ES for $25.00 (no matter the class size). Exception: the cost for a special needs self-contained class can be reduced to $12.00 since their class sizes are smaller.
- In order to follow our auditor's guidelines, we cannot accept cash.
WE WANT YOUR INPUT ABOUT OUR ART FUNDRAISER!
This year, Ms. Callas, our awesome Art teacher, switched from Square 1 Art to Original Works Yours. Now that student art projects have been ordered, Ms. Callas would like to gather parent feedback to determine which company to move ahead with next year.
