NO MEDICINES IN SCHOOL

   Just a reminder, neither prescription nor over the counter drugs may be brought to school by students for their use during the day.  All medication needs to be turned into the office by a parent/guardian with the proper form (green form) completed, and with the medication in its’ original container.  The safety of all students is extremely important to us.  We thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

GIRLS ON THE RUN

   Please see the attached brochure.  This is for girls in grades 3 – 8.  If your daughter is interested, please notify the school in writing NO LATER THAN TUESDAY, MARCH 9^th. 

 

MENU/ENVELOPE ATTACHED

   The next breakfast/lunch envelope is attached.  Please send your envelope with payment back to school by Wednesday, March 10^th.  There are some envelopes still not in for this last two week period! This makes it difficult to give Jim, our chef, an accurate breakfast and lunch count.  We count the breakfasts/lunches students are signed up for each day and send that exact number down to Jim, so he does not waste food by preparing too much.  If your child is not signed up and takes a lunch – at times we come up short.  This is unfair to the students who have signed up ahead of time.  Our lunch account was set up to be self-sufficient and has not been, so we are “watching our pennies and waste”.  Also, if you sign your child/children up for breakfast and/or lunch, they have been included in the count, so be certain they actually do take it.  Your anticipated cooperation is appreciated!!

 

MOMMY MART

   On Saturday, April 10^th from 10a.m. – 2p.m., there will be a “Mommy Mart” at the Dover Town Hall in East Dover.  There will be quality used clothing and toys for infants, toddlers, children and mothers.  If you are interested in selling quality items, you may reserve a table for $15. by calling Traci Fletcher at 348-7148.  Sponsored by the Deerfield Valley Starting Points.
