Good evening Trailblazers! This is Mrs. Graf with several important announcements.
Last year we had a successful inaugural year with our Student Council. We are looking for Officers for the new school year. Is your child interested in running for our Student Council? Student Council Applications due this Friday to homeroom teachers.
Safety Patrol Applications were due today to the office. Safety Patrol students will be notified within the next week of their positions and dates of service.
Back to School Blast & Snack Food Drive: Please join us on July 18th for an evening of free popcorn, water balloons, kick ball and fun! This is a great opportunity for everyone to meet new families to Banks Road Elementary or catch up with familiar ones. Our first General PTA meeting will be at 6:00 p.m. so we can approve the new budget for the school year. You are more than welcome to bring dinner for your family to eat at the event. Please be sure to bring your own blanket or chairs for seating. There will be slushies for sale as well. Our PTA is collecting snacks for the first quarter. If you would like to donate a prepackaged snack item such as granola bars or fruit cups, please send them to school or bring them to the Back to School blast!
Lost Items from 2012-2013: We are overflowing with lost and found items from the 2012-13 school year. We have washed many items and have them ready to be reunited with a child. If your child lost an item last year please stop by the school to claim the item. All items not claimed by this Friday will be donated to the Guardian Angel Thrift Shop.
Chorus Auditions: It’s time for the Banks Boomers to unite once again. This Tuesday July 16th (tomorrow) and Friday July 19th at 8:00 a.m. in the Music Room. Please see Ms. Loftin blog and website for additional information.
