Each classroom has been assigned a theme and will create a basket with the donations received. These baskets will be available to bid on online. Please have your classroom basket donations in by April 29th. If you would like to help with Classroom baskets or the Silent Auction please contact Tracy Plonsky at tracyplonsky@gmail.com.

Here is how you can donate to your child’s classroom basket:

● Send in a Cash Donation or Gift Card–This is always helpful as it allows us to fill in with missing items and purchase bigger ticket items that may fit with the theme. Please place in an envelope labeled with your teacher’s name and amount on the outside.

● Venmo cash donation to Site Council

CAHOOTS math and language arts in one book … a great value!

Parents, Community Education is pleased to again be offering CAHOOTS, a K-5 summer math and language arts correspondence workbook program. The program is portable, flexible and designed to closely match our district curriculum through an engaging and reflective approach to learning. After completing each lesson and checking answers online, students complete an assignment reflection and send to a CAHOOTS Buddy who will send a written response back.

You will receive a letter which includes enrollment instructions the week of February 28. Cost is $43. Final registration is due April 1. Sample workbook pages can be viewed at ce.district196.org/youth/youth-enrichment. It is recommended students work on the grade level they will be entering in the fall (i.e. 1st grade is a review of kindergarten), to review and reinforce skills learned during the school year. Please discuss with your child’s teacher, if you feel another level may be more suitable.CAHOOTS should not be considered a replacement for participating in summer school, if your child qualifies. CAHOOTS is not intended to replace regular reading for enjoyment or math activities that strengthen your child’s fluency and love for math.

Yearbooks will be available to order for $15.00 through April 1, 2022.

Ordering Options:

• They can be purchased online here: ybpay.lifetouch.com SP Code - 4946022

• Pay with cash or check (payable to Shannon Park Booster Club) along with the yearbook form brought to school.

Yearbook Delivery Date: late May

There are very FEW extras that will be available for purchase.

Shannon Park recently held our Kids Heart Challenge event, and Shannon Park generously collected and donated $11,192.86 to the American Heart Association. This is truly incredible! Because of our donation, Shannon Park will receive $850 for PE equipment and five teachers will each receive a $25 Amazon Gift card. A HUGE thank you to our Shannon Park students, staff, families, and community! We had three students raise over $400. Those students include Emma P. in 3rd grade, Aubrey W. in 5th grade, and DeDe B. in 5th grade. Our highest fundraiser was fifth grader, DeDe B. from Ms. Conroy’s class. She raised $$1,110.41. Way to go DeDe!
