Hello Maureen M. Welch Parents,
Announcements
Blood Drive at MMW
The PTO will be hosting an American Red Cross blood drive in the school gymnasium on Monday, May 11th. The drive will be from 3pm-8pm. Appointments are preferred and can be made by signing up online at www.redcrossblood.org. You will need to enter Sponsor Code: Welch for our registration table of time slots.
Did you know that every day in the United States, roughly 44,000 pints of blood are needed? Every donation may help save up to three lives. Please consider donating. Tell your family, friends and neighbors. This is not just a Welch event, this is open to the entire community. Questions? Please email the PTO at welchpto@gmail.com.
Earth Day
We have several activities planned for the school on Earth Day. One is a fundraiser to raise money to buy a water fountain that allows students to refill water bottles "hands free." This will be another way to encourage students to use refillable water bottles. Students are asked to wear green next Wednesday (April 22nd) and to donate their loose change on this day. More details about the fundraiser can be found at this link:

CR Elementary Report Card Survey
We will soon be approaching the end of our first year using the revised Council Rock Elementary Report Card. As previously communicated, an opportunity is being provided for parents to share their feedback. Please click on the following LINK to access a parent survey. The survey link will be open until Friday, April 24th.
Recycling Contest
Suburban Waste Services (formerly Abitibi) is the collector of our recycled paper. This company provides our school with funds based on how much is collected in our recycling bin each month. These funds help pay for many student activities around the school. Suburban Waste Services is running a contest during the month of April in which three different $500 cash prizes will be awarded to organizations that have the most creative outreach program, the highest monthly volume and the greatest improvement in volume of collected material. We’re hoping that families can help out by sending recycled paper to school or that parents can drop off their paper directly into the bin next to our school. The contest runs all during the month of April – the staff and I appreciate your support. Paper Recycling Contest
