2. School Supplies Ordering for 2017/2018

 

Order your school supplies for the 2017-2018 school year!
Kits include exactly what teachers have requested for each grade level and are boxed and ready for students to take to school on the first day.
NEW THIS YEAR: we have contracted with a SHANE’S KITS, a local company who offers multiple options for delivery. Kits can be picked up at school on the designated date or you can opt to have your kit delivered directly to your home for a small fee.
Please place your order by the last day of school, June 9th.
Use the link: www.eshanes.com/schoolkits
CODE: WHIT58
Please contact amycable@att.net with any questions.

 

3. Retirement Party for Mrs. Plepel

Save the Date!  Mrs. Plepel is retiring this year and the PTA is having a party for her on Tuesday, June 6th from 3:00 p.m. to 3:45 p.m.in the school gym.  Cake and refreshments will be served.  Ms. Coleman is going to help the kids write a note and/or draw a picture to put in a book that we will present to her that day.  If you have anything else you or your child would like to contribute (note/photos) there will be a gift box set up in the gym that day.  If you have any questions, please email Carla or Karrie.  Thank you and hope to see you there!
 
 

4. Committee Chairs Needed!

We still need volunteers to chair or co-chair committees for the 2017-2018 school year!  Please read the attached document with descriptions and time commitments for the current open committees.  Email Carla Giannelli for more information at carla3374@sbcglobal.net.  Thank you!

5. Walking Club Volunteer Request

Thank you to all those who have volunteered for Walking Club so far!!
Please consider volunteering during recess on Wednesdays during Walking Club season.  One vacancy needs to be filled for tomorrow, and a few vacancies remain for the following two weeks. Volunteers arrive at 11:30, sign in at the front office, and pick up a guest sticker to wear. Instructions, grade assignments, door location, and “Cat Cash” to distribute to walkers are given out in the front hallway. You will be done at 12:20. Please use this link to sign up – we can’t do this without your help!
