Dear Parents and Students,

STUDENT COUNCIL:

  3. Caleigh Alday
  4. Mark Pimentel

A special “Thank You” to all students in grades 4-6 who applied for Student Council 2013-2014. We had 23 applicants and only 12 positions available. The 12 who were elected where chosen by their individual responses on:
What characters should a leader have?
What ideas or projects do you have in mind to promote our school theme of :
We Are One, Growing In Christ.
The students who gave concrete answers to support these two positions, were the chosen 12 who will represent 4-6 council this year. They will do their best to provide a strong leadership for all students with service and school spirit. I encourage the students who were not chosen for this year’s council to serve right where they are planted! Ask your teachers if there is anything you can do to assist them in the classroom. May the Lord bless you as you seek to serve and grow in Christ.
KID’S CLUBS:
Attention parents! Kid’s Clubs are fun lunchtime activities led by parent volunteers. PTF is looking for volunteers to lead a club or help lead a club during the fall season. New this year, sweet treats for the classroom with the most parent volunteers in Kids’ Clubs! Please contact PTF Kid’s Club coordinator, Jennifer Dansby, at 681-4605 or jenniferdansby@sbcglobal.net, if you have questions or would like to volunteer. Volunteer sign-ups are due by Friday, September 6th.
