Hey teachers,

Are you looking to fulfill your volunteer requirements for Ms Anna before the end of the semester? Is your ManageBac looking empty? Well, I have an opportunity for you!

I have 7 very happy teacher volunteers who would LOVE to be hit over the head with a musical instrument during next week’s Winter Assembly… but I need 8. I’m looking for one more!

If you are interested, please let me know this week. Here’s your schedule:

Thursday lunch 1: MSUS teachers’ tech rehearsal

Thursday lunch 2: PS teachers’ tech rehearsal

Friday morning: MSUS and PS performances during the winter assembly

Thanks!

Amy

(PS: If I don’t get my last volunteer, I’m going to continue my current strategy of accosting people in their classrooms!)

 

Giving Tree Homeroom/Advisory Contest Week 2

As the second and final week of the Giving Tree drive continues, I remind all advisors that not only does it end on Friday, but we need cards and money turned in by the end of the day on December 6th. Thank you to everyone for your support and generosity. If you have any questions about Giving Tree, please email Andy Romero.

Primary Student Council meeting Wednesday

Grade 2-5 teachers, please remind your student council rep there is a meeting upstairs in the cafeteria during 2nd lunch on Wednesday. We will be meeting to discuss Pajama Day on Tuesday and the assembly on Friday.

Giving Tree Homeroom/Advisory Contest Week 2 Update

We are in the home stretch with the Giving Tree Homeroom/Advisory Contest and it looks like it’s going to be a close one. In the MSUS Division, Mrs. Merrylees’ advisory have taken the lead with the purchase of 18 Giving Tree cards and Mr Fielke’s Grade 5 class continues to lead the PS Division with 10 Giving Tree cards. With only a few days left, both divisions are still in contention and those two #9 Pizzeria pizza parties are up for grabs. If you and your homeroom/advisory want to give, there’s still time. Email Mr. Romero and he’ll deliver as many cards as your group wants to purchase.

I remind all advisors that not only does the drive end on Friday, but we need cards and money turned in by the end of the day on December 6th. Thank you to everyone for your support and generosity.
