Discount Cards
Kelly Stanton would like to thank Parents,
Teachers, and Students for a successful Discount Card Campaign. We also took 109 students to Chuck-E-Cheese
on yesterday for selling 25 or more Discount Cards. In addition, this year we had one class with
100% participation; Congratulations, Mrs. Barton’s class! Her class will
receive a popsicle party.
Lastly, if you have any outstanding cards of
money please return by Thursday, October 3rd. If you have any questions or concerns, please
