large white sheet needed for this Thursday-family movie night

Filed under: General and Misc — zbluesun at 1:23 pm on Wednesday, November 5, 2008

If anyone has a large, white bedsheet to project the movie on tomorrow, it would enhance our movie night and be greatly appreciated.   California King or King would be ideal, but any large flat sheet would be welcome.   Bring the sheet to Ms. Wheatley in the library ASAP tomorrow and e-mail me, so I know it’s taken care of.

Thanks,

Bonnie

Looking for a keyboard

Filed under: General and Misc — Mr. Neidlinger at 4:00 pm on Monday, October 27, 2008

Hello Drummond Families. I am hoping someone out there might be able to help us out. As you may already know, Drummond has once again paired with The Chicago Children’s Choir (3rd through 8th grade). We are looking forward to a fantastic season with the Children’s Choir but are still in need of a keyboard to help unify the chorus. If you have a keyboard that you are no longer using or know someone out there that has one to donate please let me know as soon as possible.

 

Thank you,

Mr. Neidlinger

Please Volunteer to be a Science Fair Judge!

Filed under: General and Misc — nicole at 11:40 am on Friday, October 24, 2008

Drummond needs judges for the Science Fair.

Any and all parents and community members are welcome and no science background is necessary. It is a fantastic way to get to know the school, the kids and the scientific process (plus you will have a good idea of what the expectations are for the science fair once your child starts to participate!). Parents who participate will be asked to judge a different class from their child’s.

The date is Friday, December 5th and you would be needed from 8:30am to about 12:30pm. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided along with many smiles and our students’ gratitude. Please contact Jonathan Zielinski at if you can help out.
