from the development director
Dear Families,
The second annual Marche des Mousquetaires was a huge success with students raising more than $16,000 in sponsorships! Congratulation to the Cherry campus for bringing in $12,139 and keeping the prized Musketeer Hat!
Mme Royce is wearing the hat as she presents kindergartners William Absher and Layla Mott with the golden t-shirts for raising the most
sponsorships
at Cherry. The winner of the drawing for two season passes to World of Fun, Oceans of Fun is Zara Ba. Mme Amandine Brown's class will celebrate being the top selling class at Cherry -- bringing in $1,142 in sponsorships -- with a Shaved Ice party.
At Oak, Max Klumb celebrated winning the golden t-shirt for raising the most in sponsorships with Principal Mme Houfaidi and his teacher Mme Paturot. Max also won the drawing for the two season passes to World of Fun,
Oceans
of Fun. Mme Paturot's class, who
raised
$669 in sponsorships, won the Shaved Ice party at Oak.
Special thanks to our great Musketeer March sponsors who help defray the costs of the event: Research Medical Center, Brookside Campus, Westbrook & CO, CPA, Teague Electric, iCON Architecture, Pam Gard/ReeceNichols, Kansas City Academy, CY Young Industries, Heidi Harmon Orthodontics, Hans Thomas Architects. Can you find their logos on the back of our t-shirts?

Hello AL Families,
I tidied up both Cherry and Oak Uniform Closet's this week and took stock. As a reminder, the uniform closet is available to all AL families. Before shopping for next fall's khaki items, you might want to check out the Oak closet. We have dozens of size 10,12,14 and 16 items. Also, there are plenty of shirts at both Cherry and Oak. The Cherry closet is always unlocked but you need to stop at the front desk first to get a visitor's pass first. The Oak closet is locked but the front desk has the key.
In addition, the lost and found bins are overflowing. The Cherry bin is outside the auditorium and the Oak bins are outside the uniform closet on the first floor.
If you have any questions or are looking for something specific, email me at diane.rizzo@yahoo.com. Thanks to all those who donate. Have a great summer!

Dear parents/guardians,
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services revised the Code of State Regulations, Immunization Requirements for School Children, 19 CSR 20-28.010. These rules establish the minimum requirements for children enrolled in Missouri public, private, and parochial schools. These revisions include a

Meningococcal vaccine required for all incoming 8

Your child's proof of immunization should be uploaded into the SchoolMint system at the time of re-enrollment. If you are unable to upload those documents, please be aware that i
t is your responsibility to give a copy of the updated shot records to the school nurse.
These immunizations are required to be on file with in the nurse's office prior to students beginning their 8th
