Buddy Families Needed For New Incoming Students
Buddy Families Needed
Hi everyone:
On April 23rd, there was a new families orientation to welcome them into the Drummond Family. As most of you remember, this was an exciting yet overwhelming prospect. It was exciting to be selected yet overwhelming because you had so many questions (uniforms? lunches? naps? teachers?).
To help alleviate their concerns and to provide direct communications, we are developing Drummond “Buddy” families. We would like their first experiences with Drummond to be friendly and personal.
As a “Buddy” family we ask that you commit to 2 requests:
1, Contact your new family within a week that you get their contact info.- introduce yourself, answer questions and provide your contact info.
2, Schedule at least one play date over the summer.
If you are interested, please send me your contact info.,email address, your child’s room number, age and sex. Please email it to me ASAP. Once I get the new family list with room numbers, I will email to you, hopefully by the end of the school year. We do not expect this to be too time consuming and hopefully rewarding to both families involved.
Sincerely,
Grace Kwon
PTO Uniform Swap Donations Mon-Wed June 8-10th at pick up
It’s that time of year again–PTO uniform swap collection time. We’ll have a box on the east side (swing side) of the school at pick up, for donations of school uniform clothes. Is your child moving into the next color class shirt? Do you have extra blue or white school clothes that your child’s outgrown? Please bring them to the drop box.
There will be a paper for listing the number of items you drop off, so you can pick up an equal number in the next size up. We will collect clothing again the first week of school and then have a uniform swap/sale in early August. All donated school clothes will be free the last day. E-mail Bonnie Kenaz-Mara with any questions.
Thanks,
B
