A message from Ms. Peirce and More DC Info...

Dear Families,

As part of our reading and study of Bruiser, students have been thinking and talking about the role of empathy in our lives.  In support of this exploration, we are reaching out to the community with a food drive for Parmenter Food Pantry.  Each of our ten English classrooms will collect non-perishable food and household items for the next week, until November 8^th.  We have begun a lively and friendly competition among the classes, with class co-captains encouraging their classmates and organizing the donations.

Below is a list of food and household items Parmenter Food Pantry needs for local families. 

Non-perishable food items: ▪   Canned Fruits and Vegetables ▪   Canned Soup ▪   Cereals and Baking Mixes ▪   Ground Coffee and Tea ▪   Pasta and Spaghetti Sauce ▪   Peanut Butter and Jelly ▪   Tuna and other Canned   Meats

Non-food items: ▪   Dish and Laundry Detergent ▪   Mouthwash ▪   Napkins ▪   Paper Towels ▪   Soap ▪   Toilet Paper ▪   Toothpaste

We appreciate any donations you can provide.  Thank you for your generosity.

DC Registration and 1st Payment for trip

  Thank you to all the families who have registered your child with Worldstrides for our Washington DC Trip. If you have not yet registered your child for the trip please do so as soon as possible as we were hoping to get everyone registered by October 29th. Students must be registered for the trip in order for us to be able to get train tickets, hotel rooms, meal allotments for each individual.

  You can register by mail using the registration form in your DC folder you picked up at Back to School Night or was brought home by your child the day after back to school night.

  Online registration is also available and it is fast and easy. You can pay the $99.00 registration fee which goes to your child's trip by credit card. Follow the directions on the Worldstrides page I set up at the top of this blog: WORLDSTRIDES REGISTRATION

  A reminder that the 1st payment for the trip (if you are paying in installments) is November 30th ($267). You can do this by mail or online on the Worldstrides website.

 

Thanks
