A lot of stuff happens atCity. This is how we helpthe school pay for it.
2 things in life are certain…
In theory, this should say $0.00, or be a little in the negative, but we’ve never run thechili cook-off before. So, just in case it’s a flop…we’ll wait to spend that money until wehave it. And we will tell you as soon as we know how we’d like to spend it. Or…betteryet…YOU can tell us how you’d like to see it spent!
We are here to support our school…
Our communication & e-mails aren’t meant to annoy…pleasebe patient with us as we try to keep you informed andinvolved. If you truly want to be kept in the dark, just let usknow and we will take your e-mail off our list.
You don’t have to be a member to help us!
You don’t even have to help us…you and your child can justenjoy the fruits of our labor and say thank you.
If you would like to see us make a change, please SPEAK UP!
Join us at meetings this year and be part of the action!
ENJOY THE SCHOOL YEAR!
