Classroom News - April 8

Survivor is coming - Wednesday, April 13 and Thursday, April 14 to be exact!  A very important  newsletter was sent home earlier this week.  The permission form and $35 is now OVERDUE...

Also, our MC Knoll basketball teams have teamed up with our community Soup Haven.  In particular, they are looking for donated items that can be used in Soup Haven lunches.  Donated items (all of which must be "peanut-free") include granola bars, breakfast bars, crackers, cereals, fruit cups, Fruit-To-Go bars, pudding, canned meat, juice boxes, etc.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Reminders:
A fundraising newsletter in support of our own VanSomeren family was sent home before the Easter Break (fellow Grade 7 student in 7P).  In short, their family home was lost due to a house fire.  On Saturday, April 16, there will be a benefit supper at Tapps to help out the family.  If you are interested in attending the benefit supper (or simply want to make a donation), tickets are $25 each.  The deadline to purchase tickets has been extended to Monday, April 11.  Additional information can be found on the newsletter or by contacting the school.
If interested in ordering food for the Pizza Hot Lunch on Friday, April 29, an order form was sent home yesterday.  Please return the form and fee by Wednesday, April 13.
