GOOD MORNING, MCCALL COMMUNITY!

It's a full week coming up at McCall!

We invite you to join us for our first official MPA meeting of the year, on Tuesday September 24th from 7pm - 8:15pm(ish) in the McCall library. Our full agenda is here but it just doesn't do justice to all that will be covered at the meeting. So come check it out in person!

A reminder that School Picture day is on Wednesday, so get ready for the inevitable "what should I wear?" conversation.

In this fascinating edition of the newsletter, you'll find updates about our new School Council representatives , the upcoming Open House, and our annual Direct Appeal which is launching this week.

Happy reading, and we'll see you soon!

Fondly,

Adrienne Spignesi & Beth Lepore

Co-Presidents, McCall Parents Association

OPEN HOUSE COMING OCTOBER 10TH

On this adults-only night, you will have the opportunity to visit your child's classrooms, see the Hidden in Plain Sight exhibit sponsored by the Coalition for a Safer Community, donate to the Direct Appeal * , enjoy some munchies, and enter to win some raffle prizes.

Doors open at 7pm, with an earlier 6pm meeting for parents of 8th graders traveling on the DC trip. Stay tuned for further details and plan to attend this fun and informative event.

*DIRECT APPEAL?

WHAT'S THAT?

We're glad you asked! Direct Appeal is our "One and Done" fundraiser. No cupcakes to bake, no cars to wash, no magazines to sell—just one donation, once per year. Simple!

Funds are used to support programs and activities beyond what is covered by the regular school budget. You'll learn more about it this week, so stay tuned! And if you're an eager beaver and just can't wait, donate early !
