There are three different ways you can help out:
Kindergarten Orientations, Teacher Breakfast Deliveries, and
Back-to-School-Nights.
We'll supply you with everything you need, including what to say at the Kindergarten Orientations. Although it's great if you can speak Spanish (even a little), all of our parent materials are bilingual, and there's always someone who can translate for you at the school.
These events set the course for the rest of the year
and are a wonderful way to interact with the kids and their parents,
as well as to honor the teachers. The more we publicize
at the beginning of the school year, the more children and families we'll serve all year.
Please reply to this email or call the office if you
want to know more about being an Ambassador and the schedule of
events.
We are once again excited to give away school supplies at the September
14th reading clubs. Last September was such a successful month that our supplies this year are greatly depleted.
This week many stores such as Staples and Target are promoting great back-to-school specials. If you're going to be there anyway, why not pick up a folder or ten?
If you happen to have the following laying around (or want to pick some up
at back-to-school sales), we would love to take them off your hands:
NEW
Erasers (Pearl type)
Mechanical pencils (especially "fun" ones)
Spiral notebooks
Binder folders
Pencil boxes
Please reply to this email or call the office if you have any supplies to donate. September is always a fun month, and made much more so with the giveaways!
