Titan Tidbits - Parents
Week 17: December 9-13, 2019
Lost and Not Yet Found
Thanks to Mr. Hartley and Mrs. Lucas for their musical talents and Mrs. Mills for her creative idea in helping get missing items returned to their owners.
Unclaimed items will be turned donated on Wednesday, December 11th.
Spirit Night is Tuesday 5-8 at Danny's Pizza!
Also, we encourage you to take the opportunity to volunteer for a shift. Volunteers are needed to greet families and keep track of the students that attend. If you're interested in volunteering, please CLICK HERE to volunteer. Your help is greatly appreciated!
Reindeer Lane Holiday Shop
Reindeer Lane is a holiday market where the students will have a chance to shop for gifts for their family and friends. Different than last year, it will be held on the stage in the cafeteria, and students will be shopping during their lunch, before school and if/when their teachers allow, and on Tuesday, December 17 from 5-8 pm.
Due to the shortened shopping time, many more volunteers are needed to help students shop quickly.
Please review the available slots below (day and evening shifts) and CLICK HERE to sign up.
Thank you!
2nd Annual Holiday Lunch
Scholastic Book Fair is HERE!!!
- Tues 12/3 - Fri 12/13 = 7:15am - 2pm All classes will have an opportunity to shop during their scheduled Media rotations. They may also take their bookbag to class and then go in the mornings.
- This year, we are introducing the EWallet! It's a great concept very similar to an e-gift card, allowing kids to shop CASH FREE! Parents/family members create an online account with a preset dollar amount, any unused $$ will be credited back to the purchaser at the conclusion of the book fair. To enroll, log on to our website at: CLICK HERE
Please note that you CAN shop at the Book Fair with your child if you plan to come to Holiday Lunch on Friday, December 13.
Volunteers are needed for the Book Fair, CLICK HERE to sign up as a volunteer, our students and staff would greatly appreciate the help! Please note that we need volunteers throughout the day so that we can keep the Book Fair open... we are also still in need of a few volunteers for tomorrow, December 2.
