Dear Families and Staff,

We are excited to share that clubs and activities are starting up again at Cather! Be sure to check the newsletter for announcements and opportunities for your child to get involved. Information about Student Council and Choir will be sent home in Friday Folders.

This fall, Chess Club and Spanish Club will alternate, with Spanish Club beginning a little later in the semester. Our 5th Grade Band and 4th–5th Grade Orchestra will also begin next week—please remind students to bring their instruments on their scheduled days.

The Young Educators Club (5th Grade) will begin in September, with more details to come soon.

It has been a wonderful start to the school year, and we extend a warm welcome to all of our new families joining the Cather community!

With gratitude,

Mrs. Kreager

CATHER ELEMENTARY ANNUAL NOTICE

Mrs. Collins' Media Minute

Cather families! Check here each week for library and technology updates and helpful hints and tips! I am excited for the new school year and all of the great things are going to accomplish together! If you have any technology or library related questions, please do not hesitate to email me at sjcollins@mpsomaha.org.

Plant-a-Book Club!

Remember when you could buy a book for the library on your child's birthday? Well, now you can donate a book ANY time during the year!

We have changed our Birthday Book Club to the Plant-a-Book Club*, where we will grow our library one book at a time! A donation form will come home with your student during the month listed on the flyer, but feel free to use it whenever it works best for your family.

Thank you for helping us to grow our library collection and plant the seeds of good reading!

*This is not a club that meets before or after school, but a club you become a part of just by giving a donation to the library!
