September 28, 2007

Congratulations to both Kindergarten classes who kicked off our FMM Showcases with a great alphabet chant! It’s clear that they have learned a lot already and they seemed perfectly comfortable in the center of our circle! Thanks to Mrs. Mildner, Mrs. Cmaylo, Mrs. Graydon and Miss Z. for their wonderful work with the Kindergarten!

It is wrapping paper time again!! The KCPTA is coordinating the Sally Foster fundraiser again this year. Consolidated school will earn 50% of all sales. This year, we are strongly encouraging the Consolidated community to sell & purchase on-line at SallyFoster.com. Our school account number is 0506975.  It is so easy to simply send emails out to friends near and far through the website AND then items will be shipped directly to the buyer. The fundraiser starts on September 24th and ends on Friday October 12th. 

Thank you so very much for your support of the Stories for Shiloh Used Book Sale! It was a huge success! We had a tremendous response to our call for used books…so much so that we will have a table tomorrow at the Designing Women Craft Fair here at Consolidated to try to sell a few more…so, please come! We raised $536 last Friday, and our books were selling for 50 cents or $1.00! I am sure we had many wonderful donations, and we are so grateful for the support for Shiloh. Thank you for being part of this effort, and stay tuned for the results of the reading incentive! Remember…all money for the reading incentive is due October 4th!

TODAY AND TOMORROW: The third annual Back to School BBQ will be held tonight September 28th at 6:00 if weather permits. Tomorrow, September 29th, will be the Spiff up the School Workday beginning at 9:00. Come for an hour or stay all day! Meet the group by the parks and rec office. We hope to see lots of families at both events.

Remember to stop in to the Designing Women Craft Show tomorrow to benefit our wonderful Graves Library. It is a terrific craft show and a great opportunity to pick up some unique things for holiday gifts. The show will be in the gym from 9:00 until 4:00, and donations are $2.00 per person. Support your local library!!

The KCPTA would like to begin a rolling food drive to benefit the local food pantry. Each month there will be an article of food that can be contributed, for example, October might be “canned vegetables”. There will be a box in the lobby for contributions. The PTA will be sending out a flyer about this effort…we hope to have lots of contributions as this will benefit people locally. Stay tuned for more information.

We are going paperless!! Please subscribe to the blogs, and remember to send me a note if you DO NOT have access to our website at home. Thanks!
