Headphone Drive
Coming up in March our 3rd-5th graders will begin taking the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium. Part of this assessment includes use of headphones. While our school does have a class set of new headphones that we will be using we are in need of more. If you have a pair of clean, working headphones that could fit the heads of 3rd-5th graders and that you are no longer using we would love it if you would consider donating them to our school. We will have a donation box located in our office where you can donate the headphones. Thank you.
PTA Spring Grants
The John Rogers’ PTA is excited to be able to grant up to $2,000 for the 2014-15 school year…$1,000 was awarded in November and it is now time for the spring grant. As a reminder, grant requests are limited to $200, but multiple people (staff member or parents) may combine their requests for grants in excess of $200. Requests must be submitted in writing to the PTA mailbox in the main office by 3:00 PM on Monday, March 2nd. Applications are available inside the main office under the mailboxes.
Dine out to Support John Rogers’ PTA!
Monday March 16th from 5-9 PM Gather your friends, family and neighbors to help support our school! The University Village RAM will donate 10% of their sales generated from 5-9 PM to the John Rogers PTA. Hope to see you all there!
