DrumBeat: Drummond LSC and PTO News & Views

Hello, everyone.  I am showing you an example of how the new mailing list feature will be used.  Let’s pretend this message was posted by the organizer of Family Math Night, asking for volunteers.  Everyone on the mailing list will receive the post, via email, and anyone who is interested in volunteering could use the comments section to do so.  This is the best and easiest way for us to distribute information and I hope you will all use this feature often.  Thanks again to Angelo for setting it up.

Isabel Collins, Principal, Mark Neidlinger, Montessori Director, and Sabrina Craig, LSC Chair, have gathered the facts about our grant situation and posted them here.

Please refer to this letter to get the facts about our current status. 

More information about what the Drummond community can do will be posted soon.
