HELLO FALCON FAMILIES!
Hudson shares a home office with his mom. Here he is, working on his letters for Ms. Aja's class.
How do your Falcons learn? Send me your photos if you want to be featured in upcoming newsletters.

JUMP-A-THON
Instead of our usual jogathon fundraiser which can't be held due to social distancing concerns, this year we will be having a jumpathon! The actual event will happen during the week of October 12th-16th, but info packets will be available next Friday for pickup at the school. Kids will receive a pledge packet for collecting pledges, and will also receive a jump rope to use during the jumpathon. Stay tuned for more info on actual jump day and time for your individual class. We will have an online donation option, and will also accept donations that can be turned in with the packet.
We could use a little more help with jogathon logistics. If you have a bit of time available in the next few weeks, please contact Monica at mcnearjogathon@gmail.com
PTA MEMBERSHIP
AMAZON SMILE
Amazon will give us a percentage of what you spend on their site, and all you have to do is sign up for Amazon Smile. Since we are relying more heavily on online delivery these days with the pandemic, now is the perfect time to sign up for this!
Amazon donates 0.5% of the purchase price of everything you buy on Amazon, at no additional cost to you. It doesn't sound like much, but it adds up fast if we all sign up as a community.
It's so easy to sign up: just go to https://smile.amazon.com/ and select "McNear School PTA" as your charity.
