Week 7 - Reminders and Resources



Good morning, sweet friends! I hope you had a wonderful day at CC this week and have managed to get some nice ear plugs to get you through this quarter's many hours of tin whistle practice. Ha! Just a few reminders to share with you this week and then some resources to explore together with your children if you so desire...

Reminders:


1. Calendar fundraising money should be turned into Ashley Paruch on Monday. Also if you want to participate in the PDQ fundraiser, talk to Ashley about that.

2. Starting on Monday, we will start a "CC Market". We will use a table in the fellowship hall area for this. You and your children can bring any type of handmade items, baked goods, used books and curriculum, etc. that you wish to sell to others in the community. Mark it clearly with pricing and leave a note to show who is selling it. You can leave an envelope where friends can pay with an honor system or collect money at lunch - you are responsible for collecting your own money. The funds you collect can be used for your family's own tuition or you may choose to donate all of it or a percentage of it to the scholarship fund.

3. We need some volunteers to start planning our Medieval Feast Thanksgiving/Christmas party. If you want to help with this, please email Amber this week.

4. Don't forget tin whistles on Monday!
