SCRIP!!! SCRIP!!! SCRIP!!! SCRIP!!! SCRIP!!! SCRIP!!! SCRIP!!! SCRIP!!!

We have had a surge of families signing up for Scrip and PrestoPay (www.shopwithscrip.com) and the mobile service (www.myscripwallet.com). All of these families are earning money for their student’s Outdoor Lab and Chromebooks. A special shout out to Natasha Cisneros, who has embraced Scrip in a HUGE way and is earning rebates on almost all of her everyday expenditures. GREAT JOB Natasha!

We will have 2 order dates in November - order those holiday gift cards for friends, family, teachers, etc… Order dates are Friday November 2nd and Friday November 16th.

Accountability

Our next meeting is Wednesday, November 7th at 5:00pm in the library. This will be an exciting meeting as we will know the results of 5A and 5B as well as Amendment 73.

The Accountability Committee is a very important committee for the school. We discuss budget, where monies go, what needs improved in the school, and any other pressing matters that have to do with the school. We need input from parents and community members. Please consider joining us this month, and invite a neighbor! We will provide snacks and good conversation :)

Students can be recognized for any of these traits during any month of the year, with the expectation that each student is recognized at least one time. These students will have their picture taken and will eat lunch with Mrs. Shehan during the monthly Wall of Pride lunch. The
