On March 1, Renee Kavanagh, CUSD's Clinical Therapist, will offer an informational meeting titled, "Understanding and Managing Stress and Anxiety in Elementary Students." I strongly recommend you join for this helpful and relevant presentation. See the flyer below for details on how you can join this virtual meeting.

Are you heading to the grocery store soon? Maybe you need some gas? Our SCRIP gift card fundraiser needs a little extra boost and we need some help. Did you know that purchasing SCRIP gift cards is one of the easiest ways to support Sycamore, while paying for items you already purchase. We highly encourage you to download the RaiseRight app (it is free) and give it a try. The best part - the RaiseRight app even has E-CARDS you can use right away!

To thank you for giving it a try and seeing how EASY it can be, we will enter you into a RAFFLE for a FREE Sycamore 2021/22 Yearbook. Just download the app, create an account, select your cards and purchase using your own bank account, a credit card, or by clicking "pay coordinator" (you can then pay Sycamore directly using cash, check, or zelle). If you do choose to purchase your cards by clicking "pay coordinator" Sycamore will place an order as a group on March 4th and they will be shipped to school. Tina Hensley will contact you when they arrive.
