Fundraising News: This is our last week of the Invest Campaign and since this is our final fundraiser of the year we hope all Page Middle families will take the time to make a family contribution this week. Our family goal is $100 but any amount your family would like to give will be greatly appreciated and will go directly to making improvements in our school. School improvement plans and additions for 2016-2017 include beautifying Page Middle by making building improvements inside and out, purchasing laptops and laptop carts as well as adding additional technology to the classrooms. Your donation also covers the cost of yearlong programs and events such as funding the $12,000 faculty grant program, staff appreciation events and student celebrations. Please click here to go to the PTO website and click on the Invest tab to make your donation today or you may send a check or cash to school in an envelope marked PTO. Thank you to everyone that has already participated in this fundraiser and thank you for your generosity!!
Smart Card Winners: Our Smart Savings Card fundraiser was successful! Thank you to all of the families that participated. Together we raised over $6,000 that will be used to make school improvements. Winning classes by grade and recipients of a classroom ice cream party are: 6th Grade Mrs. Coughlin, 7th Grade Ms. Parsell and 8th Grade Ms. Johnson. The teachers in these homerooms each won a selfie stick too. Congratulations!!
Box Tops: Please don’t forget to send in Box Tops with your student’s homeroom teacher’s name on the bag. We are running a contest now through February 28th and the homerooms with the most Box Tops, per grade level, will win a classroom party!
