School Events Week 2/9
Meeting w/Principal; Auction Dates, Computer Bags
Parent Meeting with Mr. Pannell our Principal, Feb. 9 at 8:30am; Auditorium
Dear Parents,
We are all invited to attend a general meeting for all parents hosted by Principal Pannell on Monday, February 9th. Mr. Pannell will discuss educational expectations for students in each grade and how West Hollywood Elementary will meet those goals.
FOWHE will also introduce new members of the Executive Board and present a budget update. The meeting will be held in the auditorium from 8:30-9:30, Monday, February 9. Monday's parent meeting will be very informative, very useful, and give us all a better sense of direction. We would like to see as many parents as possible at this meeting as the information being presented directly relates to all students. See you there!
Name on the Computer Bag
Please remember to check the name label on your child's computer bag once you pick him/her up after school. We had few instances when computers were switched by an accident and kids couldn't do their work. It's so easy to mix up computer bags but we can help to avoid any tears at home by double checking the tags. :)
AUCTION DATES TO NOTE
Our auction team is working hard on gathering the great items that are starting to come in from parents and the community. We're still looking for donations and ads for our March 21 event (and online auction, opening March 11). Here are some upcoming dates to watch for:
February 16 - Tickets go on sale this week
February 27 - Last day to donate for 4th grade Gala basket (basket donations to be placed into purple donation box, Ms. Russo's Classroom)
March 2 - Gala Donations due in office
March 9 - Ads and sponsorships are due for printed program
Forms for submitting items or ads can be found here: fowhe.org/home/forms.
Ads are a great way to promote your own business or get the word out about local restaurants, retailers, and service s and start at just $50 for a quarter page in our program. And we welcome donations of all sizes, especially gift certificates of $20 or more. Don't feel like you can't help if you don't have that "big get" -- it all counts toward our final goal of supporting programs and services for the kids. Donations with forms can be dropped in the Gala Auction mailbox in the office or in the plastic bin by Ovsanna's desk. Thank you!
