IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Thanks for the great turnout at the meeting last night.  The District and the parents both feel safety and security of our children is paramount.  Security guards have been put in place at the Elementary level.  Principals were on hand to answer some questions from parents, as was Mr Hogan.  Teachers have been practicing "drills" with the children and keeping them calm in case of an emergency.  After last week at Chestnut Street, it seems to be working, great job by all at Chestnut Street !

Don't forget about the next Budget Cafe is February 6, 2013 at 7:30pm at the WHMS Cafeteria.
It matters to all of us, come out and be heard.  PLEASE mark your calendar and attend.

Off to a great start ...

Well, the school year 2012-2013 is off to a great start.  The kids seem to be getting into the swing of things and our committee's are off and running !!

Miss Chocolate, our first fundraiser this year is due back October 3rd.  Please send it in to your child's class. You do not have to order everything, but every bit helps - so one or two things is great !!
Remember, the funds we raise go right back to the kids for all their fun programs.

School Pictures are Friday, October 5th, send in your kids with their smiles extra big that day !!!

Once again, this is worth repeating.  Stop & Shop, Target and Box Tops for Education are all very EASY ways to get FREE money for our schools.

Target - just use your Target card for purchases and make sure one of our schools is your "choice" school and we can get a percentage of your spendings! Easy right ??


Stop & Shop, just register your rewards card at  www.stopandshop.com/aplus and choose one of our schools as your designate and we will get FREE money,
a portion of your spending !! You can have your friends and family register their cards for one of our schools too !!





Finally, Box Tops for Education, clip the box tops from products you already buy and send them into school.  The Student Council will collect and count the box tops and the classes have a contest to see which class brings in the most, so get clipping. Once again it is FREE money for our schools !!!
