January 2006 News!
SECOND SEMESTER BEGINS JANUARY 23
Your child will switch main teachers next Monday, so if your child has Ms. Massey for English, Social Studies, and Homeroom, he/she will now have Mr. Gorman. The teachers stay the same for math, science, PE, etc.
Along with this new semester, your child should be bringing home additional forms: the Pinnacles field trip form, the second semester payment form, and a second semester pizza form. You may submit the pizza form and 2nd semester payment forms together so that you only have to write one check.
PINNACLES FIELD TRIP
Thanks to some great fundraising efforts -- the Pumpkin Patch (thanks, Donna Abare), Pizza Fridays (thanks, Sally Petru and helpers), and the See's Candy Drive (thanks, Jere Johnson), the remaining fees for the field trip have been cut from $125 to $30! This amount is on the second semester payment form. The permission slip and information forms are due back this Friday - January 20. Questions should be addressed to Rhita Williams.
PIZZA FRIDAYS
The Pizza Fridays program will continue into the second semester without interruption if you complete and submit the form provided with the January 10th and 17th Yellow Pages. These forms must be completed and submitted with a check payable to "Hillcrest PTA" by January 20th. This check can be combined with the Second Semester Payment Form, so that you only have to write one check, but please fill out both forms for our paperwork. Deposit them in the envelopes marked "PIZZA FRIDAYS" which are in each of the classrooms as well as the office. Additional forms are available in the office. The first semester is paid through January 27th, as the 20th (end of first semester) is a minimum day. The second semester will provide pizza beginning February 3rd through June 2nd. We have tried to take into account any known field trips and holidays. Once again, thank you for supporting this Middle School fundraiser and putting a smile on everyone's face each Friday! Direct any questions to Sally Petru at sal@hmnlaw.com or by calling (510)653-7727.
