Thanks to all of the parents who baked, set up, contributed crafts and costumes and to those who stayed to help sell at the Holiday Sale Fundraiser on Saturday, December 6, 2008. The weather was great and the baked goods were yummy. The fundraiser was not heavily attended and we have learned that we need to do advance advertising. Considering the last minute nature of our event, it looked terrific. We did gain visibility and just a little money. Parents of David, Ben, Mary Beth, Austin, Natalie, Annie, and Robin all pitched in to help along with friend Kevin and Ms. Rinaldi. Lillie and Zella’s mom did the crafts. We had cookies, kolaches, brownies, cupcakes, muffins, and more!
The Satori Annual Giving campaign has proven to be most successful so far. We wish to remind you to call the persons you “adopted” from the mailing list just to see if they received their letter, to encourage them to give a gift at this time of need, and to remind them that their gift is tax deductible.
In order to get our planning started for our major fundraiser, the Satori BBQ, the committee will meet on Wednesday, December 10 at 4:15 PM following the yoga class. Do remember that every parent is expected to participate in planning and conducting this activity. Please come to share your great ideas on how to conduct the BBQ this year. If you are not able to come out on Wednesday, be sure that your name is on one or more sub-committees for the BBQ and pass on your ideas about how to improve this event under our present circumstances.
The Pine Woods Screening Services will once again be doing our required vision, hearing and health screenings using guidelines mandated by the Dept. of State Health Services and the Texas State Senate & House Bills. We are scheduled for January 21 and are sending you details about the fees per screening and the permission slips. Check your child’s folder this week for the parent letters and who should be screened.
This is the week that students will be drawing names for our Holiday gift giving. Look for more information later this week.
Billie Rinaldi, Director
