3/3/2023 – Call-Out Good evening, Conner Street Families – There is a lot on our update, so please listen carefully. First, we realize it is probably overwhelming for some of you with all the fundraisers we have going on right now. We apologize, it just so happened that Pi Day, the American Heart Association Heart Challenge and Read Across America weeks are all during the time. Next year, we will look at doing our Read-a-thon during the fall semester. On that note, we will be selling chances to pie teachers and administrators next week. Chances will cost $1. For each $1, the student will have one ticket entered into a drawing to pie their teacher. All student tickets will then be combined at the end of our activity to have the chance to pie the administrators. Additionally, we are almost halfway to our $10,000 Read-a-thon goal. If we reach that goal by March 17th, Mrs. Warner has agreed to cut her hair in front of students and donate it to Locks of Love. Next, Saturday – March 11th is the PTB Carnival. All are welcome; however, parents must stay with their children. The times are 11-4, and more information is coming soon.
