EXCITING WEEK AHEAD!
I hope you've had a great week, and have plans for a relaxing and fun Labor Day weekend. Get some rest because next week is going to be all systems go! This newsletter is a big one, so let's get started...
There's no school on Monday, then on Tuesday at 7pm we'll have our first PTA meeting of the year. We'd love to see as many parents there as possible, especially anyone new to the school. We have so much planned for this year and look forward to sharing it with you! Check out the agenda, calendar, committee list and minutes below...
On Wednesday, it's Back to School night for Grades 1-6. Don't forget to join us in the multi between 6:30-7:00 to hear from our principal Liza Eichert.
Finally, on Friday September 6th we have the annual free Back To School BBQ at 5:30 pm, featuring the return of last year's fantastic menu including ribs, pulled chicken, hot dogs and sides prepared by the famous Joey D. This fun family event includes games, live music, and is a great opportunity to get to connect with our amazing McNear community. Meet on the blacktop.
These PTA events all happen because of parent volunteer support. The Back To School BBQ is being coordinated by 5th grade moms Dorothy Fox and Megan Atiyeh (thanks ladies!) You can show your appreciation by becoming a member. If you haven't yet had the chance, click the link below and join the McNear PTA. We promise you're not signing up to join any committees, you're simply supporting the work of our community of volunteers and the PTA organization, both here and at State and Federal government level.
See you at school...
Neil.

AFTER SCHOOL ENRICHMENT (ASE)
The After School Enrichment (ASE) registration has begun! You should have received the ASE packet in this week's Wednesday envelope. Four classes are already full - 3D Design, Robotics, Archaeology, and Jewelry - but there are so many other wonderful options! Your child could learn to do the tech for the school play, Willy Wonka Jr., with Intro to Stagecraft! Or build, design, and create with Lego Engineering and Art in the Garden. Dance, run, and swing with Tennis, Soccer, Golf, and Zumba. Or practice various forms of mind over matter with Martial Arts or Hocus Pocus Magic! Get your registration form into the office before next Wednesday and save your child's spot! All classes are first come, first serve.
Scholarships are available - if you would like your child to take a class but need financial assistance, please fill out the registration form and turn it in with the scholarship box checked.
All registration forms need to be turned into the office to enroll your student in an ASE class. If you signed up for a class with online registration, you need to sign up online AND turn in a paper registration form to the office.
Checks should be made out to the instructor directly. This is a change since last year if you are a returning family.
Class lists will be posted next Friday afternoon, 9/6 on the bulletin board in the hallway outside of the office.
If you missed out on one of the above classes or are excited for more, there are two more ASE sessions this year, one in the Winter (January + February) and one in Spring (March + April).
And feel free to reach out to me, Lily Kreimer at lilykreimer@gmail.com, with any questions!
