Computer Lab Monitors Available for Purchase
Looking to make multi-tasking on your computer easier? The desk top CPUs from the Computer Lab (2007) have gone to a better place, but the monitors are great for extending your screen and being able to work on two windows at the same time.  

The connection is an AVG port.  If you are interested in purchasing one of the 17 monitors, please see Mrs. Tamarkin.  The cost is $20 each.  

The funds raised will be used to purchase 2 new Chromebooks. And if there is a hero or two out there who wants to help sponsor new Chromebooks for the Computer Lab, we would love to meet with you! Also, please see Mrs. Tamarkin. :)

Tigers In Action Serve at Merton House
"The students in TIA did wonderful heartfelt work last Saturday morning.  They arrived with browines and made lunch for the guests of Merton House. The patrons were very grateful and everyone was very happy to know the sandwiches they were preparing were going home to a warm loving home. It was my pleasure to serve with these students. I would love to go again with the Tigers In Action." Sue Turotsy

"I was happy to be able to come. I learned that it was a very kind activity to do to help lots of people who don't have food." Carolina Barahona Gr 6

Gently Used Toy Drive

Hello Parents, Students and Friends,

The Tigers In Action, is starting a Gently Used Toy Drive. We are having this drive because there are many kids in need, who are not as fortunate as us, and don't have many toys. The drive started February 28th and will end March 30th. There is a white bin in the lobby of the school. Please place the toys in there. Any gently used toys would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Fairfield University Quick Center Summer Camps
The Quick Center for the Arts at Fairfield University is pleased to offer a range of arts and educational summer camp programming each year for youth in our community. As part of the Quick Center Arts Education and Outreach Fund, we aim to make sure that no child is denied the opportunity to participate in our education and fun camps due to financial difficulties, so we are encouraging you to share the information below and attached with families at your school and in your community that you believe will encourage a youth to attend our summer educational programs for free or partial scholarship.
 
We are in the midst of fundraising through our generous patrons to support scholarships for students and ask that you encourage youth to apply soon so that we know the need for our community.
 
The Quick Center Summer Camp Intensives and Missoula Children's Theatre Camps offer a wide array of educational experiences that offer students a crash course in the arts but also develop their skills in expression and confidence building.
 
Please visit our website to see a full description for each all of our camp programs camp as well as information about the instructors and the appropriate ages for participants:  http://quickcenter.fairfield.edu/education/?scrollto=section-missoula-open
