Parentcrew has had a great year. Some of the things we accomplished this year: hosting Anthony 101, back to school popsicle parties, golf ball drop fundraiser, multicultural night, volunteers for book fair, teachers' snacks and lunches, Spring fundraiser, teacher appreciation week and a couple of visits from the ice truck. Funds were given for African drums and we had a great end of the year inflatable party. Next year should be just as exciting. See you in August!

The last Parentcrew meeting of the 2010-2011 school year will be held on May 11 at 8:00am in the cafeteria. We will be voting on the slate of officers for next year. Everyone is invited to these meetings.

Teacher Appreciation Week

Teacher Appreciation week is April 25-29. We will have breakfast each morning for the teachers as well as gifts each day. The luncheon will be on Wed. April 27. If you would like to help, please contact Melissa Baker at Melsosa@aol.com.
