Where did September go?
Well, I know it was a busy month and a lot of things were happening at school.
First- I would like to welcome Sarah Szanto as our new parent rep. on School Council. Sarah joined us this morning and saw first hand all of the exciting things this groups gets to work on! I also want to thank Mrs. Lawton & Mr.Palethrope for expressing an interest in serving on the Council. Keep in mind, a parent rolls off every year, so we always need willing parents!! All School Council agendas and minutes throughout the year are posted on our school website. All meetings are open and you are welcome to join us.
Technology Camp Meeting was held and we received some excellent ideas. The parents and teachers who attended were involved and committed to share and be an "Agent of Change." Our next meeting will be Dec. 3 at 8:30 a.m. in the Media Center. The Technology survey will remain open until then so more parents will have the opportunity to participate.
Thank you to the parents who attended the first Camp Meeting!!!
Tax Credit is again on our scope of things to communicate to all parents, grandparents and neighbors. School Council is once again thinking up some great ways to get this WIN-WIN word out!!! Anyone can make a donation and receive a TAX CREDIT. Once received at Desert Trails that money is used to support before/after school enrichment classes such as: Spanish, Science, Reading support, Creative Art, Physical Education, field trip scholarships and much more! School Council oversees the spending of these funds.
