Pick Up Medications from the Office by the 9th!!!! 
Please remember to pick up your child's medications from the health room before school ends. All medications that are left after Thursday, June 9 th must be disposed of. The school is not allowed to keep them over the summer. Please contact Sandy Roth, RN at 980-343-5835 if you have any questions.  
Red Ribbon Reading - It's Not Too Late!!!
Have you turned in your child's RRR Sponsor Form?  If not, it's not too late!!

If your child has not returned his/her Sponsor (pledge) Form, please send it back to school right away!  Remember, the funds raised from RRR directly fund the PTA Operating Budget, which is used for field trips, professional development for teachers, student events and much more!  This money isn't extra, it's essential!   

If you have misplaced your form, don't worry as you may print one from the Selwyn PTA website. Go to  www.selwynpta.org/fundraising/red-ribbon-reading/  and scroll down to "Forms." There you will find the brochure and pledge form. Or, send an email to us and we will get one to you. Then, help your child set a summer reading goal, gather sponsors and return the form to your child's teacher ASAP. Your child can keep track of his/her reading on the Reading Chart that was sent home on Tuesday, May 31.  Extra copies of the Reading Chart are also available at the link above.
