Hello MC6GC families,
Here is what’s going on right now…
HOME & SCHOOL MEETINGS
The date of the first Home & School Meeting of the year has been CHANGED to October 8, at 7pm in the library. Hope to see you there!
MAGAZINE FUNDRAISER
The magazine fundraiser is ending on Friday! Thank you for the great response so far ---many kids have qualified for the Limo Ride --- and there is still time for others to qualify also! Please have your family and friends get their orders in this week! Remember, a renewal counts as an order too, and each order counts as 3 points. The next order turn-in day is this Friday, September 18th. You do not have to go to turn-in day if your orders are all online---you only turn in paper orders. Info about selecting their prizes will be coming next week, and the limo ride and VIP party are scheduled for October 27th (a little later than anticipated, because we didn’t want any of the kids to be away at Paradise Farms!)
Alternative to Magazine Fundraiser: We have received a number of direct donations---thank you to everyone who sent in a check! We have had a number of very generous donors, wow! If you are not interested in having your child participate in our magazine sale, please consider a direct donation to support Home & School! We are hoping to have all donations in by the end of September, so we can plan the year a little better! Thank you! (All checks made payable to MC6GCHSA, and sent to the office, attn: Home & School c/o Patty Dungan.) Questions? Please contact Patty Dungan at .
NARWHAL T-SHIRTS
Didn’t get a chance to buy a t-shirt yet? No worries, we have an inventory of some shirts, and the rest are being re-stocked soon. If you want to order one, please fill out the attached flyer and send it to the office with your payment. (Checks made out to “MC6GCHSA.”) If we have the t-shirt now, it will come home very quickly with your student. If it is on re-order, we will send it home as soon as it comes in. Right now the only gold shirts we have are Adult Large and Adult XL. We have most blue, but NOT Youth M and NOT Youth L. Questions? Please contact Patty Dungan and .
STUDENT DIRECTORY
If you would like to be included in our Student Directory, please type this link into your browser: http://bit.ly/1fJrRQD
Right now, less than half the families in school have entered information. This directory will be useful for years to come as the kids split off into different schools!! Everyone who enters their information in the Student Directory will receive an email with a working link to the directory. We will be closing the directory link on September 25th so please enter your information before that time! Questions? Please contact Patty Dungan at .
