Saturday Live
Saturday Live is this weekend at Pioneer Park.
Our school raises money by selling brown paper bags with candy in it. The children never know what they will find in their bag. PTA would greatly appreciate any donation of non-chocolate candy for this
fund raiser.
PTA Non-fund Fundraiser
PTA has sent home an envelope asking for donations to support all their activities for the year.
They do this instead of selling candy, wrapping paper, or magazines.
Receive a Text from me
If you would like to receive a text from me about important information and school happening let me know and I will tell you how to set it up.
My last bit of information is to let you know that I will be out of town on Friday. My mother of 86, has requested that I accompany her to her home town in Minnesota to meet a relative from Germany. This means the blog may be late in it's next posting.
Thanks for checking it out.
