Take Charge of Education:  Thank you to all who shop at Target with a REDcard.  We received a check for $65.28.  Anyone wanting more information on this program should check out Target.com/tcoe or call 1-800-316-6142.

Report Cards:  Report cards will be going home next week, Wednesday, March 25th.  Remember that all financial obligations to the school (tuition, pictures, EDP, etc.) must be taken care of in order to receive a report card.

Spring Pictures:  Please send in $39.00 for the spring pictures if you have not already done so.

Graduation Pictures:  Graduation pictures are going home today.  Please look at the package, choose which pictures (if any) you want to keep, and return the money and/or unwanted pictures to school by April 1st.

REGISTRATION:  All registration packets have not been picked up yet.  Some of those that were picked up have not yet been returned to the office.  Please remember that we have a waiting list in many classes.  After April 1st, we will not hold places for unregistered students.  Families on the waiting list will be contacted to register.  We must begin to prepare for next year and enrollment information is crucial to that process.

Calling All Bees Fans:  Vouchers are on sale at the school office.  $10.00 each for the best available seat.  $5.00 will come back to the school.

Annual Appeal:  This year’s Annual Appeal has begun.  Our goal is to raise $65,000 for the kitchen / cafeteria table project.  There will be a thermometer on the website to track our progress.  We hope to begin work on the kitchen this summer.

 

St. Patrick’s Day Parade / Leprechaun Lope:  Thank you to Rick Estrada who organized this year’s Leprechaun Lope.  Everything went smoothly and I think everyone had a good time.  7 of our students in the 1 – 14 year old age group placed in the top 10: Justis Sisneros (3rd), Sean Sloan (5th), Graham Noteboom (6th), Gabe Rechsteiner (7th), Joshua Noteboom (8th), and Owain Rice (10th) in the boys category and Olivia Puhl (5th) in the girls category.  Three of our parents placed in the top 10 in their age categories: Angela Green (4th), Kylie Antal (5th), and Lisa Poppleton (6th).  Congratulations to everyone.  Thank you also to everyone who worked on the OLOL float for the parade; especially Stephanie Metos and Robyn Hildreth for organizing the float preparation and Rob and Maggie Jahries for the use of their truck.  It was large enough so that all the children who wanted to could ride the float.
