It was so nice to see so many students and their families here for the Open House.
The Box Tops for Education collection box is in the lobby. Please send in all specially marked General Mills box tops with your children. A list of qualifying products is being sent home and can also be found at www.boxtops4education.com.
The Hannaford Helps Schools program has begun. McKusick and
Emerald Recycling Program is an ink jet cartridge recycling fundraiser that goes all year long. Our schools will receive $3.00 for each cartridge that we recycle. The cartridges that they accept are Hewlett Packard, Lexmark, Cannon (BC01/02/05, BC20, BX3) and Compaq. They do not accept Epson. If you would like to donate your used cartridges, please send them to either school sealed in a plastic bag. We appreciate your support!
Your child’s teacher may send home order forms for you to purchase books through book clubs at a discount. When ordering books from the book orders, please make your checks payable to the book club (not to the teacher). It is important to fill out each part of the order form-especially the bottom section reserved for the child’s name. Please make sure that the order form and type of payment (cash or check) be returned to school by the date indicated on the order form. It takes approximately two weeks to receive the books once the order has been sent in. It is truly a wonderful way to expand your child’s library!
Parents are again reminded to send their child to school each Monday with their lunch money in an envelope with their child’s name on it.
Parents are to notify the school if someone else will be picking up your child at the end of the day. All children being picked up must be signed out on the clip board. At McKusick, the clipboard is outside the office and at Guilford Primary, it is either in the office or on the table in the front hall. Any bus changes must be made by 1:15.
Please remember to never park in front of the schools. This area is for busses only.
Please label your child’s clothing. Daily we have many lost and found items, which no one claims. If your child has lost a piece of clothing, you are welcome to check out our Lost and Found box.
Thank you to everyone who bought books at our book fairs. At GPS we had sales of $1046.80 and a profit of $261.70. At McKusick we had sales of $1019.75 and a profit of $254.94. Profits will be used for enrichment programs for our students. The winners of the rainforest animals were A Bagley and C Tetlow for coming the closest in their guesses of the 57 grapes. A Huff won the dominoes set and J Wakefield won the rainforest puzzle. The correct answers for the layers of the rainforest from top to bottom are: Emergent, Canopy, Understory and Forest Floor. All students of the school had their names put in a drawing for a free book and our two winners were N Sudsbury and N Easler.
