Elementary Schools Newsletter

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.
