2nd Grade Mathtopia BIG SUCCESS

Thank you to all the parents and families who made our fundraiser a success! Second Grade was able to purchase backjack chairs for all the second graders in Room 6. These chairs will remain as a gift to second graders in the future. We could not have done it without your support. Thank you for purchasing our book!

Whole School Musical Showcase

Be sure to make some time next Tuesday December 18th for the annual Whole School Musical Showcase! Come at 9:30am or 6:30pm to see and hear the wonderful talents of Crocker Farm kids and our music teacher Agnes Zsigmondi McCraven. (Snow date is Dec. 19th)

Please plan to have your children remain seated until it's their turn to perform and help your littlest ones to stay with you at all times. Thank you!

Mathtopia Books

Mathtopia - an original collection of math stories by second graders is now on sale! Ms. Mattone's second grade class is selling the books for $2.00 to raise money to buy back jack chairs for the classroom. The chairs will be their class gift to "second grade". If they exceed their goal, any money will be given to the Crocker Farm PGO. Call the school if you are interested in a copy for your family! Bonus - check out the story in this week's Amherst Bulletin.

Pretty Bags for a Great Cause

These bags are gorgeous and would make a great gift with a little giving back...We are a locally owned, Amherst business (in fact, owned by a Crocker Farm family!). Visit our site today! A percentage of monthly sales go to Pueblo a Pueblo, (www.puebloapueblo.org) a 501(c)(3) non-profit U.S. corporation whose mission is to empower Guatemalan individuals, organizations and communities to improve their own lives by facilitating access to services, commodities and financial resources. Our family is a sponsor of a student in the child education program and a percentage from the sale of the bags will go directly to this program and the Hospitalito Atitlan.
