Valentine's Day Party
Dear Parents,
Unfortunately we will not be able to hold the Valentine's Day Party the way we originally planned. It has been brought to our attention that collecting money is considered fundraising (please see attached policy). Fundraising has to go through approval and any money received by the school has to be receipted.
Therefore we will be sending the money back home that was collected. A sign up genius is attached to fulfill the party needs.

We apologize for the inconvenience and change in plans! Thank you for your support and patient understanding.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you wish to see the policy, please go to policy number 3.15 involving cash collection.Any fundraiser for our school or for a separate non-profit must be approved by me and by the district office BEFORE anything can be sent out. Please remember all foods must have a food label with ingredients listed. No homemade foods will be allowed in the classroom. (This is district policy as well.)
We have collected all 18 2L Bottles! Thank you to all who sent some in!

Walking Wednesday's
Walking Wednesdays
On Wednesdays students will enter the school as usual. If they eat breakfast at school then they should go there first. Otherwise, students will put their bookbags in their classrooms and begin to walk the hallways. We know that exercise increases blood flow and oxygen to the brain and we're excited about this opportunity to improve our own health and academic learning. We will walk each Wednesday until 7:30 a.m. when students will enter the classroom to start their day.

Girls on The Run Registration is Now Open!!
Registration will be FIRST COME FIRST SERVE, unless noted as Lottery. This means that registration fees will be charged automatically at the time of registration. Our First Come first serve sites will be open from January 14th and will stay open until the season starts on February 11th or until all the spots have been filled.
Our Lottery sites (listed below) will be able to register between January 14 and January 24th. We will then run our lottery and place girls on January 25th. This means that your card will not be charged until January 25th if your child is placed on the team. If your girl is not placed on the team, you will not be charged.
The sites that fill teams (or multiple teams) will stay lottery in an effort to make registration available to as many girls as possible. The other sites that don’t fill up as quickly, will stay open longer in attempt to help the schools market to girls and give them extra time to register.
How will this look?
If your site is FIRST COME FIRST SERVE: You will enter your payment info and your card will be charged automatically. This means your child has been awarded a spot on the team immediately.
If your site is listed as LOTTERY: You will enter your card info, but will not be charged immediately. You will receive a confirmation email that your girl has been added to the Lottery list. This email does not guarantee a spot for your girl; it confirms that your registration has been received. When we run the lottery on January 25th, your card will be charged only if your girl is awarded a spot. You will receive an email letting you know the status of your daughter on January 25th.
Please contact us BEFORE registration opens if you need to make alternate payment arrangements. Scholarship options will be explained during the online registration process.)
As of January 7th our LOTTERY SITES are as follows:
Dobys Bridge (need additional coach for second team)
Dutchman Creek
