Reminders & Updates for the Week

Directory Form:   A big thank you to everyone who has already filled out the form for the 2014-2015 Crocker Farm Student Directory already. If you haven't completed yours yet, the deadline for doing so is this Friday, Sept 19th.   You can return the directory form that went home in backpacks or fill out the online version here. You must complete the form and give permission for the PGO to publish your family's contact info for it to be included in the directory.

Summer Read-A-Thon:  The Crocker Farm librarian, Ms. McQuaid is still collecting donations from the summer Read-a-Thon.   Thank you to everyone who has donated so far.  If your child kept a Read-a-Thon log and is still seeking sponsors, please let Ms. McQuaid know, and she can help.  She can be reached by calling Crocker Farm or emailing her at mcquaids@arps.org.   A party will be held later this fall for all Read-a-Thon participants. 

Box Tops:  The next deadline for submitting Box Tops from food and household items your family buys is Friday, Oct 15th.  Box Tops really do add up; last year Crocker Farm parents donated close to $400 worth. The money raised was used to support Crocker Farm students, teachers, and our community.  You can drop your Box Tops off in the box in the school lobby.
