Hope Valley School LOVES Superhero Miles
November 26 was such a special day for our school as we celebrated Miles and his courageous fight with liver cancer. We collected a total of $2,712 for the Tomorrow Fund. Below is the breakdown. A huge thank you to those who celebrated and donated for a great cause in Miles honor. Can't thank Jeanine Mankoff and the pre-school staff for organizing this fundraiser.

Reminders
- Payment for the Morning Program is due at the beginning of each month. If you need a form, stop or call the office.
- Also, the Morning Program STARTS at 7:30. Technically it starts at 7:35 because everything is programmed through our time clock. Staff punch in at 7:30 so they need time to get to the gym to set up. At Hope Valley, we have always allowed students to come for 7:30 but we cannot let children in before 7:30 because no one will be in the gym.
- We have many students with negative lunch balances. Please be sure parents are taking care of any balances ASAP. Checks can be made out to Chariho Regional School District
- If your child comes in at 8:00 for Dreambox with Mr. Mulvey or reading support with Mrs. Pastore or Maker Morning/Green Screen with Mrs. Ward, students must not be coming before 7:55 or they will be charged $3.50 per day.

Online Book Party
The PTO is “hosting” an online book party with Usborne Books and More (UBAM). All host rewards will go back to the school for Mrs Ward (our librarian) and Mrs Pastore (our reading specialist) to determine what the school’s needs are. If the “party” reaches $250 in sales the school will get HALF of the total sales worth of free products!!!
Over the next couple of weeks our consultant Joyce will be highlighting some of the many products available. Please share our event and link and encourage friends and family to browse the catalog. There is something for everyone and more than just books too!!!!
The party will close on December 11th so that all orders can be processed and shipped directly to your door in plenty of time for the holidays.
If you need help with anything, feel free to reach out to Joyce and she will be happy to assist.
