November 2024
TOPIC OF THE MONTH
-Our biggest fundraiser of the year, FUN RUN was successful, raising over $95,000 to support our dedicated teachers and the education of our children. We have dispersed about $30,000 so far with another $50,000+ budgeted to go to teachers for field trips, assemblies, different projects and more. More information will be coming soon regarding prizes if your child reached those goals.
-The Kids Helping Kids Gift Drive is coming up for the holiday season! All proceeds will support the SHARE Center in Sherwood. Stay tuned for more details coming in the Principal’s Update next week. We’d love your support!
PAC SHOUT OUT!
Meet Candee, our Art Literature Coordinator. Candee is new to this position and we cannot thank her enough! Art Lit kicks off this month and we are so excited! The artist that will be covered are Maria Martinez, Winslow Homer and Andy Warhol. Candee ensures that the lessons are age-appropriate, handles supply procurement, manages copies, organizes and instructs parent volunteers, and much much more. Candee has twins (a girl and a boy) in 3rd grade. In her free time, she enjoys crafts, reading, and watching her kids do their extracurricular activities which include BMX, dance, and baseball.
