FROM THE DEVELOPMENT OFFICE

Grade Level Challenge 

Monday was the launch of our Grade Level Challenge for the Mother Oak Annual Campaign. There has been an enthusiastic response! Thank you to all of our parents who are helping your child's class reach its goal of 100% participation. In addition to tracking our grade level participation, the homeroom teacher has a thermometer that reflects their participation as well. 

HOMEROOM KUDOS

Congratulation to our first homeroom to reach 100%. In honor of that distinction, Mrs. McGinnis will receive a $100 gift card for her first-grade classroom.

THANK YOU, GRANDPARENTS

We want to sincerely thank our grandparents who participated in this year's Grandparent Wall of Fame. Your grandchildren love finding your name on the wall. 

BRICKS, PAVERS, and SEATS are still available (all make great GRADUATION gifts)

We will soon be ordering new folding chairs/event seating for both campuses. For a donation of $100, we will inscribe a nameplate with your name or company on the chairback. 

Our first shipment of inscribed bricks and pavers for gifts of $250 and $500 respectively, has arrived and will soon be placed on both campuses for all to see!  

The theater seat nameplates for those who have donated $1,000 or more have also been mounted. 

If you are interested in these or any other naming recognition for your donation to the annual campaign, please contact the Development office at dmccleery@slesmobile.org or 251.666.2991 ext 8140.
