Greetings!

Back to School Night is Thursday, September 5th from 6pm to 7:30pm.  Childcare will be provided at no cost this year so that all of our parents/guardians can attend. The evening will begin with a welcome from Mr. Brauer in the church, and then will adjourn to the classrooms. This is a great opportunity to partner with your child's teacher and hear about the exciting year ahead.

   See you there!

Giving Back Gets Easy @ Calvary

Scrip Gift cards - Stop by or call the office for gift cards to local restaurants,  retailers, movie theaters, iTunes, etc.  You purchase the card for the full value, and the vendor donates a percentage back to the school.  No waiting in lines at the store or hassles finding parking!
  
e-Scrip -  Sign your Safeway Club Card up through eScrip and Safeway will donate 4% back to our school.  Go to eScrip.com to sign up or to renew your membership. (Membership must be renewed each year by Nov. 1st)  Many debit cards also participate; check online.

Coke Points - If you drink Coke or any of their products, you can cut the Coke Rewards code on the inside of box, or save the cap from the 2-liter bottle and send them to the school office. Or if you already have a Coke Rewards account, you can choose to donate your points to our school for cool school supplies!   

  

Box Tops - Clip and send box tops to class with your child each quarter, and the class with the most box tops wins either a free dress day or a class treat!

A Poem From the 3rd Grade Class to their Grandparents
null

Grandma, Grandpa we love you!
You're the best above the rest!

Sweet you are I'm never blue!

In my heart you are the best!

 

You're the star that shines above.
The treasure that I want to find.

Keep me wrapped up in your love!

Forever you are mine!
