PARENT ORIENTATION

            Welcome to a new school year!  I am excited to get together with you and talk about your child's year in G/T.  I will be holding my parent information meeting on Tuesday, October 27^th. Grades 2 to 4 will begin at 5:30PM and 5th grade will follow at  6:15. We will  meet  in room 200 located on the 2nd floor. Each session should only take about 30 minutes. I hope to see you!

Hello Parents and Friends,

   Exciting news from my GT classroom… we’re ready to start our Maker Space!  This school year (and for years to come), I want to ensure that my students have what they need to succeed, so I've created a request on charity website called donorschoose.org.

I'm writing to ask for any donations possible for my students - no matter the size (seriously, every little bit counts). This week only, any donation you make to my project will be doubled!

If you can't donate anything at this time, no worries... just share this information with anyone who you know is passionate about education. Your donation will have a direct impact on at least 70 students this year and you'll hear back from our class about your impact! My goal is to start this project with the GT students and eventually have enough materials for the whole school to share.

Here’s my classroom request: .  http://www.donorschoose.org/project/maker-space-creative-minds/1709960/?rf=email-system-2015-09-proposal_approve-teacher_400057&challengeid=112685&utm_source=dc&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=proposal_approve&utm_swu=4252

     To have your donation matched dollar for dollar, enter the promo code SPARK on the payment screen. IMPORTANT: The promo code  SPARK will only double your donation until September 30, 2015.

Please feel free to send me any questions you may have, and know that my students and I greatly appreciate your support.

Thank you so very much !
