HAPPENINGS AND HELP WANTEDS FOR WEEK OF: NOVEMBER 15-19, 2010

REMINDER FROM SARAH AND MICHELLE: Please run all school-wide announcements through Julie Dair, Room Parent Coordinator (juliedair@yahoo.com), not through the main FOW Yahoo Group page.  She will make sure it gets out to all parents through the Room Parent network and Happenings & Help Wanteds.  There have been SO many e-mails out lately and we would love to keep streamlining our communications. 

Monday, November 15: Entertainment Book/Sally Foster Fundraiser.

All orders and unsold books should be turned in today!!  Questions?  Contact: Danielle Seidenglanz (ddejoie1@mac.com).

Monday, November 15: EVTF (Educational Vision Task Force) Meeting, 8:30am (after drop-off), Library.

Because after school is a difficult time to meet for some parents,m we have scheduled an additional morning EVTF meeting . Please join us as we continue to discuss the EVTF Report 2010 on Lunch + Recess.  We will bring our recommendations from today's meeting.  Thanks again for everyone's participation in this process.  This is an open meeting.  Please forward to anyone you think might be interested in attending.  Cheers!    Amy Johnson (amypersonalproducer@gmail.com)

Thursday, November 18: Fourth Grade Fundraisers! 

The fourth grade is raising money to take all 50 fourth grade students on a field trip to Sacramento in March.  So, every Thursday we will be selling fresh flowers before school by the kindergarten gate. Bouquets cost $8 each.  After school on Thursdays two fourth grade moms will be selling French crepes from their catering truck. Yummy! I don't know the definite price for the crepes, but I think it might be a few dollars. Please invite your neighbors to come shop for flowers in the morning, or pick up crepes between2:30 and 4:00.  Thank you for supporting us as we raise money to meet our goal of an exciting andenriching field trip for the Walgrove fourth grade.  Lisa Laichtman, Fourth Grade Teacher.
