A Very Official Visit from France!
|
|
|
On September 8, Peabody school was honored to welcome Odile Malavaux, Natasha Lanaud-Lecomte and Sylvie Schmidt, French delegates of DAREIC organization. DAREIC is the organization, behind our exchange linguistic program in Middle school, promoting international relations within the National French education program.
Before touring the school, our visitors attended our grade 7 French class and met the group involved in the exchange linguistic program. Our students did a stellar work, sharing eloquently, all the benefits of this beyond the borders experience and asking pertinent questions tothe group of visitors.
It was very good visit, sealing our partnership with Ecole Vauban and launching our second year exchange program!
Vive le français l’école Peabody!

Grab your lawn chairs and blankets and bring the whole family out to join us for our first ever Movie Night Under the Stars! (This is not a drop-off event.) Admission is free - concession sales (popcorn, candy, treats) range from $1-4 and will benefit the PPF. Thank you for your support!
You won’t want to miss the special OOMPA LOOMPA guest appearance!
GROCERY CARDS
Some of our local grocery store chains offer their patrons the chance to help local schools. If you register your grocery store loyalty card, each time you shop for groceries Peabody School will earn a percentage of the total amount you spend. This is FREE money that is given to Peabody to use as we wish. We can build a ‘bank of numbers’ and double our earnings each year. Eventually, with enough numbers, we could earn up to $30,000 per year in free money from grocery stores while we are doing our normal shopping! This program is completely free for you, but grocery store cards must be re-registered each year for our school to benefit BY SEPTEMBER 30, 2016: Please enter your grocery store card numbers on the optional Grocery Store Card Form on the Parent Portal - THANK YOU!

Helping Hands: Fargo Family Meal Sign Up
In an effort to assist Mr. Fargo's family in welcoming their new baby, Ada, we are writing to request that you consider preparing a meal for the family. We are looking to provide 3 meals for them next week. Their family is small - just Mr. Fargo, his wife, their 3 year old son Willis and now baby Ada. The only restriction is that Mr. Fargo is HIGHLY ALLERGIC to seafood. Meal sign up.
