Yearbook order forms were distributed last week. Yearbooks are $12 apiece, or you may select additional packages for additional fees. Fill out the form and return it to the office with payment by Friday, March 1. You can also order online (instructions are on the form).
Families may enter “Shout-Outs” to be printed in the yearbook at no charge. “Shout-Outs” might be something like: “Great Job this year, Stephanie! We’re so proud of you!” All families can submit “Shout-Outs”, you do not necessarily have to purchase a yearbook. Use https://goo.gl/forms/5WexEmXS3XifqRK12 to create your “Shout Out”, or see the link in the email I sent January 15. All “Shout-Outs” are due by Friday, March 1.
Each family will soon receive 18 tickets for our upcoming Dan’s Fish Fry (March 15). Look over the enclosed forms and sell all of your tickets. This is a crucial fundraiser for us, and advanced ticket sales help a lot! Tickets and money should be turned in by March 8. If you lose your tickets or money, or do not turn in unsold tickets or money, the school will bill you for the value of the missing tickets.
If you can volunteer to help out before, during or after the Fish Fry, please contact PTO member Aaron Fisher at theaaronmfisher@gmail.com or 765.702.5978 . We need people to bread the fish, wait tables, and clean up the Knights of Columbus Hall after the dinner.
