This is a great way for your shining star to share their special talent. Thank you Linda Allamian for coordinating this fun event! Anna Kotvan has volunteered to be in charge of the Science Kits used by our classrooms. Anna will be restocking the Science Kits when the teachers are finished with their lessons. We appreciate you stepping forward Anna! Have you checked out the PTO bulletin board recently? Each month Joey Hanson updates the board with new information. She also redecorated the bulletin board over the summer. Stop by and see the latest information. Thanks for keeping us informed Joey! We would like to wish all of you a very happy holiday season!

Help your school earn money by using your Meijer Community Rewards card every time you shop! Other relatives that want to have their rewards apply to your account need to "link" their card to yours using the family and friends option. Complete instructions on how to do this is online or on the paper application that you can pick up in the school’s lobby. If you have not already joined, please join today…it’s free and easy to use! Just swipe your MCR card at the register and you can pay for your purchases any way you choose - cash, check, or charge. The MCR card is not a credit card; it is strictly for fundraising. The more you shop, the more Wasco earns! Don’t forget to include Wasco School’s code 359557 when applying for the rewards program; you can even do it online at meijer.com/rewards.

Pie DayThank You! Thank You! Thank You! Our second annual Pie Day was a huge success. Thank you to all who made pies or bought them, baked them, and brought them. There is nothing more gratifying than seeing the teachers faces light up when they see 70 pies donated by the Wasco families for them. They sure did appreciate the extreme kindness. Now that you’re already in the baking spirit, don’t forget I’ll be looking for bakers for our Staff Christmas Cookie Exchange this month. “The best way to inspire people to superior performance is to convince them by everything you do and by your everyday Attitude that you are wholeheartedly supporting them.” Elizabeth Barrett Browning In appreciation, Jane Harland Hospitality Chairperson

Tell your friends and neighbors that we accept donations the week of the sale. Thanks to the Wasco Community for your continued support of this great event.
