Gratitude Grams
Do you want to show your teacher or favorite staff member how much you appreciate them? Send a Gratitude Gram!
They are $3 to purchase and all proceeds go to the PTO to help fund other school needs. These cute notes with a treat will be delivered to the staff on Nov 22, the Friday before Thanksgiving break. Look for a Gratitude Gram booth the night of the Book Fair, November 6.
We will also provide a way to sell these online and will post that information on Facebook once it's live.

PTO Meeting
Join us at our next PTO meeting, November 19, 6:00-7:30pm in the school cafeteria. The format of our meetings will change a bit this year. We'll have less meetings overall (4 in total) and each one will focus on a theme important to parents. The November theme is 'Supporting Your Child in Learning a Foreign Language'. A light dinner will be available if you need to come straight from work or activities. Please note that you're "going" on the event in the
PTO Facebook Group
. See you there!

Lost and Found Update
We will be cleaning out the lost and found cart the Friday before Thanksgiving Break. Any item that has a name/label/initials on it will be photographed, photo posted on the PTO page and the item will be left on the cart for you or your child to pick up. It is your responsibility to come to the school and pick it up. Anything without a name/label/initials on it will be disposed of or donated, depending on condition.
The cart is overflowing right now. Please take the time to stop by the school and see if any of the items belong to your household.

Shopping for Groceries = FREE $$ for WCA
King Soopers - shopping and earning money for the school has never been easier. Log onto your account at Kingsoopers.com or on the app. Under the Community Rewards section, indicate that you want your donations to go to World Compass Academy. It's as simple as that. Nothing else you need to other than shop and 5% of your purchase will come back to WCA.
Safeway - if you prefer to shop at Safeway, we have rewards cards that credit the school for each dollar you load and then spend. If you would like one, our treasurer Ashley Lenihan can sell you one ($5 for a $5 loaded card). Reach out to her at
[email protected].
