Save Your Coke Tabs

We continue to collect coke tabs. Beginning this week we are entering a Pull Tab Challenge with the Ronald McDonald House of Nashville. The school with the most Pull Tabs per student will receive a free McDonald's lunch for all our students and a coupon for a free ice cream cone.

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Nashville has a mission to "keep families close" during the critical illness of a child. In Nashville they have a 32 bedroom home for families to stay in and a family room inside of Vanderbilt's Children's Hospital. The pull tabs that are collected help to fund this home.

We know that many of our families have used the Ronald McDonald House during times of illness and have reported how great a blessing it was. We are excited to help out with this need.

Please save your tabs, ask your family to save tabs, and bring them to school. We will be collecting for this challenge through November.

Fundraising Ends August 25th

The school-wide fundraiser ends on August 25th. Please have your order forms and money returned to homeroom teachers by that day.

We are so appreciative of every one's support. This money will be used to fund field trips and and provide classroom activities and supplies.

If you have questions, feel free to call. When we know of the delivery date we will let you know to be expecting the orders.

The School Year is in Full Swing

We are off to a great school year! Thanks for your help in making it so great. There is so much happening already so please keep your eye on the Parents page of the school website for the school calendar.

Also you can visit the Athletics page for all the up-to-date sports schedules. Right now we have students participating in Cross Country, Volleyball, Softball, and Soccer.

The school-wide fundraiser kicked off to a successful start. If you haven't heard we are "lucky ducks" to have such great students! Students who returned their mailer booklets received their first duck today. After the first item is sold the students can receive another duck. If you would like to shop online to help out our school go to www.gafundraising.com and enter the school code: 971556. Students with online sales can receive a third duck. We will start "feeding the ducks" on Monday with Silly Bands. Be sure to wear your duck until the fundraiser ends on August 25th.

This year our Bears of the Month program will focus on citizenship. The school mission is for every student to become a life long learner and a responsible citizen in their community. For the next few weeks we will talk with students about the qualities it takes to fulfil the school mission during Morning Meeting. The first quality of the Bears of the Month for August is leadership.

Please let us know if we can help you or your child or answer in questions.

PTO News

The PTO has planned out many activities for the school year. At the PTO link you will find a calendar of events, Box Tops information, and much more. The link is http://www.chandlers.logan.k12.ky.us/ptso.htm

You can earn Box Tops cash for our school if you shop on the internet. Many of your favorite online stores will donate cash to our school because you shopped with them. Visit http://www.boxtops4education.com/earn/marketplace/Default.aspx and sign up for an account. Simply find the store you want to shop from and then they will donate a portion of your sales back. It's that simple. Stores include Avon, Aeropostle, Gap, Khols, Old Navy and many many more! We hope you will take advantage of this easy way to donate back to the school.

Please sign up for a PTO membership by August 31st. The first meeting is Tuesday, August 17 at 5:30pm in the school library. We hope to see you there.
