QSP Catalogue Fundraiser
Last Wednesday you received the QSP Catalogue information. Please sell, sell, sell! This is our biggest fundraiser. Your support is very important. As soon as your child sells one item, send back the Daily Drawing Coupon (pink paper). We will pick one name a day for ten days for a prize! All checks should be made to JFK PTA and your child’s name and room number on the memo line of any check. Sales end on October 15th. Thanks!
School Picture Day
Thursday, October 15, 2009
Today you will receive picture information for Picture Day (pink half sheets). Please review the information so you can decide if you want pictures or which picture packet you want. You should choose your packet and enclose payment in your order envelope. The office does not provide change. We like to see the children in their uniforms for the Fall pictures. They can wear free dress for the Spring pictures. Make sure your child is on time on Picture Day so he/she does not miss the class picture.
