Lisa Maguire
FREE Parenting Workshops-Leader in Me
Last year we covered all 7 habits in 3 sessions, and all the participants agreed that they would like to take it more slowly. We have changed the timing accordingly. Each month we will cover a new habit, starting this month with a general overview.
Please join us for this worthwhile presentation! Coffee will be served at 7:45. (The previous Smore incorrectly listed the meeting dates as Tuesday)
Feel free to attend each month, or to drop in when you are available. Come, meet some new friends, enjoy a cup of coffee and learn these wonderful strategies.
Please RSVP here so we can be prepared. Thank you!
We Need You! School Site Council & Safety Committee Parents Needed!
This year, we are in need of TWO parents to serve on this committee to help make decisions about funds allocated towards amazing programs at our school.
This committee will meet a total of 6 times during the school year, with most meetings being in the fall and winter. The meetings will be held after school.
If you are interested in serving on the School Site Council, please fill out THIS interest sheet or email Principal Maguire by next week to let her know!
Calling PTA Volunteers!
Free and Reduced-Price Meal Application - Please Help Our Students!
Did you know that although these meals are available to students, it is important that families still complete applications for free and reduced-price meals? Free and reduced-price meal eligibility is a key factor in determining district funding for important programs for our students.
Please consider applying for free and reduced-price meal eligibility for this school year and help our district and school receive necessary funding. You can apply at MySchoolsApp.com or pick up the paper application available in our school office.
Keeping Cool in the Heat!
Thank you Impact Martial Arts!
Thank you to Impact Martial Arts for their short demonstration at Friday Flag with the message "Be Proactive!"
