Chipotle Restaurant Night - earned $750 for the book vending machine

Fire House Car Wash - earned $600 to go towards updating the staff lounge

Noodles and CO - earned $470 to go towards new recess equipment

With the earnings from the Noodles and Company restaurant night and what was already budgeted to spend on recess equipment we had a very generous amount to spend! Surveys were sent to teachers asking them what they thought the students needed or wanted most and we tried our best to fill the requests!

For each grade we were able to get:

2 Hula Hoops

3 Jump ropes

2 Basketballs

2 Footballs

1 Indestructible soccer ball (check it out, it's cool)

2 regular soccer balls

4 playground balls

8 tennis balls (for wall ball)

side walk chalk

Whew! That's a lot of equipment. Our hope is the higher quality equipment will hold up to the student's rambunctious play and we will only need to replace them every few years.

Our Fall Scholastic Book Fair was an amazing success!! Our Kruse community is truly wonderful and I appreciate the volunteers who helped make this possible. We sold about $9,000 worth of product, which equates to over $4,500 Scholastic Dollars that our teachers and library get to use to restock books. Because of your support and generosity, we were also able to hold our Golden Ticket program which provided 3 free books to kids in each classroom. Thanks for coming out to shop, for rounding up your totals and for making purchases online. I hope your kids are loving their new treasures and hopefully we’ll see you at a Spring BOGO Book Fair! – Charlene Olms, Book Fair Coordinator

We'll continue to periodically share the teachers' Amazon Wish Lists. For anyone who would like to donate to their classrooms, this is a great way to know what they need. If your teacher isn't listed here and you would like to donate to their classroom, contact them directly to ask how you can help their classroom. The teachers are very grateful to receive every item, consider adding a gift note with the donation so they are able to thank you personally.
