Week of May 8-12, 2017

Monday is Day #2 of our five-day specials schedule.

Book Fair- The “Happy Camper” Book Fair will run from April 8-12. The fourth graders from the Purple Team will go to the Book Fair on Monday, May 8th due to our Pioneer Day on Friday.

Calling in the MGES Library Books!- Students will need to have all MGES library materials on May 15th. (?)

Urgent Plea for Pioneer Day Greeter Job (8:00-9:15 ONLY!)- Here is a special opportunity for a parent to help with Pioneer Day and be done by 9:15 AM! We need one parent to greet our Pioneer Day Volunteers in the front of the office area. You would give each parent their ‘official’ nametag to use as their security clearance for the day and to sell a few lunches to parents. Please let me know if you could do this.

Pioneer Day- Thank you to so many parents sending in donations and helping with our Pioneer Day on Friday. If you are a volunteer that has receipts for their budgeted amount, please send them in to me to reimburse you with funds from out PTO.
