SPIRIT WEAR REORDERS
FRIDAY, NOV 22 ORDER FORMS AND MONEY DUE
We will be placing one final order for spirit wear this week. When turning money in this week - ALL CASH AND CHECKS MUST BE TURNED IN BY WEDNESDAY! Payments on RevTrak can still be made up until Friday. (You can use a credit/debit card or your checking account with RevTrak.) I am not able to accept cash or checks at the school after Wednesday due to the upcoming holiday week.
Chick-Fil-A Spirit Night & Caroling
This was not on the original calendar, so it is not a required event for a grade, but I would it would be great to have as many of us there as we can!! There is no way for all of us to fit in the CFA at one time, so I am going to have two different caroling times. I would ask that you please sign up for one of them. Click on the link below to sign up for one of the time slots. We will have a 6:00 and a 7:00 caroling session.
