Wow! What a great PTA we are blessed to have! Over $19,000 was brought in by students for the Midland Fundraiser. This means that none of the extra programs that PTA sponsors will have to be cut back or eliminated!Thank you to Sara Schindler and Connie Hammond for their hard work and motivating ideas.
Today, we had over 20 volunteers help with the full day COSI program on Energy.Thank you to Hope Maier and Amy G Miller for the long hours they put in organizing and gathering volunteers. The whole school had a one hour interactive demonstration, followed by small group hands-on full day activities. It was great!
We have been able to purchase 5 Smart Boards and carts for the classrooms with funds from the Technology Fund. With the 4 we have, this means that each teacher in grades 6,7&8 will be using this technology in teaching. In addition, one teacher in grades 3,4&5 will also be using one in class. The Technology Fund is supported by Box Tops in Education, Papa John's monthly St Vivian Night and any other funds donated to the school. It really benefits the students to support these "no cost to you" fundraisers!
We are placing an order for three more Smart Boards so that every classroom, grades 3-8 will now have a Smart Board. The students will greatly benefit from this added technology in the classroom!
