Art Prize 2020
Dear Parents,
Thank you for offering to help us create our 20/20 Vision entry for ArtPrize 11 youth collaborative catagory. Right now, all we require are 2x4s and 1x4s that are cut into 6-inch chunks. If you have a source for this material or would like to donate your time to cut up the pieces or money to purchase the lumber, we will need about 250 of each size. We need about 500 chunks of wood. Many hands make light work. : )
I have attached a letter if you would like to donate money or material, please let me know or return this form to the office. I want to start having the children work on their projects in their art classes soon. All students must have a permission to participate in the Art Prize 2020 project. Please complete the permission form here.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you

ONGOING FUNDRAISERS:
Amazon Smiles: We now have an account set up with Amazon to collect a donation whenever anyone shops at smile.amazon.com with this link:
https://smile.amazon.com/ch/38-3393971
It's the same Amazon, same items, same prices. But when users check out through this link, we get 0.5% of their purchase donated back to PTC. Such an easy way to earn money for our school!
Box Tops Collection: We used to collect box tops, count them and mail them in. Our school would earn money in return. The Box Top Program is changing slightly, stay tuned for more details! You can still save those box tops, but there will be a new way for us to get credit for them!
Family Fare Receipts: Save your Family Fare Receipts and turn them in to the office. That's it! So Easy! Our volunteer team will enter them. When we reach $150,000, we earn $1,000 for our school!
Paper Gator: Did you know our school has a paper gator? It is located on the east side of the building in the bus loop. Feel free to drop off the below items at your convenience. Our school earns money just for recycling! Please remember not to drop off items during our bus times of 8:15am-9am and 3:15pm-4pm. Thank you!!

IT’ THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR IN HUDSONVILLE - Hudsonville is celebrating its 26th annual Holiday Parade on November 23rd at 10 am. The parade, sponsored by Sunset Retirement Communities, takes off from Pinnacle Center Drive and will travel north on 32nd Ave, ending on school street off of Central Blvd. Immediately following the parade, there will be a Christmas celebration held at Terra Square filled with Santa and Mrs. Claus, kid's activities, cookies, and hot chocolate. This is an excellent opportunity to welcome in the holidays with your family and neighbors! Look for floats, horses, snow dogs, trucks, bands, and more in the Hudsonville Holiday Parade on Saturday, November 23.
Reminders from the Office
Late/Tardies: All students coming in to the building after 8:50am, need to be signed in by a parent/guardian. If they are not signed in, they will receive an unexcused tardy.
End of day changes: We know that things come up and sometimes families have to make changes to how their kids are going home. Please make your best effort to let the office know of these changes before 3:00pm. The office is very busy at the end of day, and changes after 3pm are difficult to communicate to the classroom teacher. Thank you for your help with this!
