CandyGrams and Booster Club Officers

CandyGrams are perfect to send wishes to your friends on campus!  Support Teach Elementary School by purchasing CandyGrams for only 50 cents during the lunch hour on campus Tuesday through Thursday of next week.  CandyGrams may be sent to any teacher, staff member or 4th-6th grade student at Teach or Bishop's Peak Elementary.  CandyGrams may also be sent to K-3rd graders as valentines if they are sent to an entire class (each member of the class should receive one).  I for one will be purchasing candygrams for my first-grader's class so I don't have to go and buy Valentines!

Your Booster Club needs YOU!  Please consider running for office in our Booster Club.  Nomination and elections of officers for our booster club will take place at the March Booster Club meeting, March 5 at 8:30 a.m.  Our entire staff of officers will be leaving at the end of this year, as their 6th graders graduate and go on to middle school.  It's up to 4th and 5th grade parents to step up and fill these places.  We'll be nominating and electing a President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer.  If you would like to help your school in this very important way, please be present to nominate yourself.  It's not as big a time commitment as you might think!  A job description of the offices is available, just contact us and we'll email you a copy.
