Top TEN News @ Weston
September 13th, 2019
1. Next week is the Imagination Library Giving Week. This helps put books into the hands of Hancock County children ages 0-5. Our goal is to raise $1 for every student and staff we have in our building . . . that would equal $390. There is match going on next week for every $1 raised an extra 50¢ will be donated. That means if we meet our goal they would actually receive $585! Last year we raised almost $800.
If we meet our $390 goal Mr. Davis will ROLLER SKATE in the cafe one day for each lunch time!
2. Next week is the GCHS Fall Homecoming Week. To show our COUGAR PRIDE we will be participating in their Spirit Week ‘Dress Up’ days. See the flyer below for each day’s theme. We did change the Tuesday Meme Day to a Hat Day . . . . easier for our students :)

10. Lunch Accounts - Greenfield-Central is once again using www.ezschoolpay.com to put lunch money in your child’s lunch account (there is a small fee and you will need your child’s student number found on Powerschool). If you send money with your child please place it in an envelope or baggie in their take home folder. Make sure student and teacher’s names are listed. Please be sure to keep your child’s lunch account in good standing. Additionally, our cafeteria computer system does not have the capabilities to put a “block” on student lunch accounts for purchasing extra lunch items. You will want to make sure your child is on the same page as you when it comes to spending lunch account money. REMINDER. . . . The cafe does not have the ability to give change. If you are buying lunch be sure to have the exact amount. If you must overpay the excess will be applied to the student’s account.
