Answering that question is your ticket in the door. ... click here to read on

|
Christmas Shoppe is right around the corner! We will begin collecting donated items for the Christmas Shoppe next Monday December 5th. Our Student Council will meet you at your car at drop off and dismissal each day next week to collect your donations. Please remember there is always a great need for men’s items! A good rule of thumb is to donate items that you would like to receive as a gift.
Suggested Donations
- Kids- gently used toys, games with all the pieces, art supplies…
- Men- sports, fishing, tools, ties…
- Women-accessories, jewelry (in boxes if possible), scarves, purses,…
- Re-gifted new items, CD’s, Home décor, Bath and toiletry items, Garden items, Pet items(small), Kitchen items, Gift Books-Devotionals, Cookbooks, Decorating, Handyman…
Please do not send in:
- Computer equipment, Clothing (except for ties and scarves), large items that are difficult to wrap or carry, Furniture
- Please send in used books that are in prime condition only.
On the day of the Christmas Shoppe, Friday December 9th, please have your student(s) bring a large shopping bag to store their purchases as well as the following items to help with gift wrapping:
- Christmas wrapping paper
- Christmas gift bags
- Tissue paper
- Gift tags filled out with the names of family members on your student’s shopping list
- Scotch tape
- Decorative bows
- A Ziploc bag filled with quarters for Christmas Shoppe purchases.
Items for sale will be priced at 25 cents, 50 cents, 75 cents and 1.00. There are always items donated that are extra special. Students may purchase tickets (4 for a dollar) to try to win these items in a raffle. This gives everyone an equal chance at purchasing these extra special items. Thank you to everyone who signed up to assist with sorting donations, setting up and helping at a table. The donation of your time and help is greatly appreciated. If you would like to help and have not yet signed up,
there is a need for classroom helpers (especially grades K-4) to assist with gift wrapping. We are looking forward to another fun Christmas Shoppe this year! Thank you in advance for all your contributions!

ART ROOM NEWS
Thank you for all the foam egg carton donations. They are always needed! Could you all please take a minute to cut off the top and flap? It would be so helpful for me! Also- I still need
20 ounce plastic Heinz Ketchup bottles (this size only) to store tempura paint.
Square 1 Art orders will be delivered soon! Drum roll!! If you missed the ordering deadline- call the office to request your child's access code. Square 1 Art always takes orders and they have all your child's artwork from previous years. (HCA does not get any fundraising benefit from late orders)
We are finally back in the art room and will be catching up on finishing some projects from term 1 that could not be done while we were borrowing classroom space in other areas of the building.
Blessings,
Mrs. Mikolajczyk

Hey all: A few reminders for those who have signed up for our Western Civ Field trip
May 8-11, 2017. Please make sure that:
- your passport is up to date. If it expires in 2017 you should get it renewed.
- your student has either a passport or a certified birth certificate.
- if you selected the “Manual” option you are making regular payments so that you don’t get surprised in April.
We have one completely full bus. For those who did not sign up but perhaps intended to, there is still a possibility you can join us but you must contact me immediately. You’ll be put on a waiting list and be “on hold” to see if we reach the next “critical mass” for a second bus.
Thanks! Gary Hayward
