McNear PTA Newsletter
stay connected
HELLO FALCON FAMILIES!
This week we're kicking off a series of posts in the newsletter highlighting the enormous impact that the Wish Benefit has had on McNear over the years, as we get closer to this year's event. We'll be looking at what has come from each year's paddle pledge for the past four years. Hopefully it will paint a picture of how important Wish is, and how important it is for our parent community to be there at The Block on April 18th. Next week we will launch ticket sales with special early-bird pricing!
We also need a few more volunteers who can help manage the auction the night of the event. You'll still get to enjoy all that Wish has to offer, while helping make it run smoothly. Let us know if you are open to helping out: mcnearpta@gmail.com
See you at school,
Neil

MINT REMINDER
AFTER SCHOOL ENRICHMENT
The spring session of the After School Enrichment (ASE) program will be here soon! Packets will be coming home in the March 4th Wednesday envelope and registration starts the next morning, 3/5. Please keep an eye out. Remember, registration is first come, first served, so please register quickly to ensure your spot. Bring your completed forms to the office - DO NOT return them in the Wednesday envelope - I might not get them in time and the class might fill up. Scholarships are available, if you need a scholarship, turn in the registration for with the scholarship box checked and I will contact you with more information.
The session will run from March 23rd-May 1st and is the last of the year. We have lots of old favorites returning and some wonderful new classes coming as well!
Thanks to those who have participated in the winter session! It has been great! A big thank you also to the school staff: Loretta, Lucy, and all of the office staff who support these programs.
