Sherman Lake
Thanks to everyone that made it out to the camp meeting and open house last night. The most important thing about camp right now is to hand in the health information sheet. We need all information handed in by Monday, September 18th. I'm still missing like 6 or 7. You can also start sending in checks for the cost of camp at any time. The cost this year is $65.00 and please make sure all checks are made out to Portage Public Schools.
Turtle Trot
All information was sent home today with the kids. It should all be in their binder. This is our biggest fundraiser for the year so hopefully everyone can get out their and participate for a good cause. Kids can start getting sponsors tonight if they want. The actual turtle trot is on Friday, September 29th. Fifth grade walks/runs at 11:20. All donations are due by Friday, October 13th. I told the class to brainstorm a special event we could do if we collect the most money in the whole school. The class that collects the most money already gets a pizza party but I told them to think of something creative that's not food related.
Picture day is next Friday, September 29th.
