This Friday is Earth Day! We have many activities at school and some that your family can participate in! Bring your old batteries in for recycling, try to have alternative transportation to school (via foot, bike or scooters), and pack your cold lunch in reusable containers--whatever you pack in, pack out (minimize TRASH!).
Each Friday, there will be a drawing for those that have turned in their Wizard Walk packets. Our Wizard Walk is the only Wealthy fundraiser for the year. This pays for so many grants for teachers and special events that our school puts on. Please consider donating to our wonderful school! The Wizard Walk finale will be May 12th during the school day, followed by Family Fun Night that evening! More details coming soon.
EGRNow information forums will be on Wednesday, May 4th, at noon and 7pm at the Woodcliff Administration Building. These are informational meetings will answer questions about why our EGR Schools Foundation raises money to support programs that would be cut because of our deficit. I've been involved with EGRNow since the beginning (before I returned to teaching). Because our taxes do not go directly to pay for teachers, programs and school-related items, we are reliant on the student per-pupil funding that our state provides. We still are not back up to what our per pupil funding was back in 2008. I support EGRNow because I would like the best education for my children and I believe strongly in our school district. If you have any questions, I'd be happy answer any of them! I'll get off my soap box now... :)
