SHOES for Sugarbelle
From October 2-27, the Earthsavers/Science Club will be collecting shoes for our Shoes For Sugarbelle Fundraiser. Please send in your used/old shoes. THANK YOU!!
About the program:
Sugarbelle Foundation is a registered 501-c3, whose mission is to keep pets and people together. We accomplish this by providing financial assistance, to the best of our ability, to pet owners and Good Samaritans who have an animal in need, temporary fosters homes, food, and any other necessary items for pets and their people.
All donated shoes are redistributed throughout the Funds2Orgs network of microenterprise partners in developing nations. Funds2Orgs helps impoverished people start, maintain and grow businesses in countries such as Haiti, Honduras and other nations in Central America and Africa. Proceeds from the shoe sales are in turn to feed, clothe and house their families. Funds2Org believes the HAND UP is more beneficial than the HAND OUT because it teaches people how to be self-sufficient which is also what Sugarbelle Foundation strives to do when helping pets and their families.

Character Trait of the Month: Friendship
The character trait for September is Friendship. This means using words and actions to show others you care.
Reminder: Please check grades in INOW!
Hi Parents! We are a little over the half-way mark in the 1st nine weeks! We have had a great start to the school year. Remember there are still 3 weeks left in this grading period, so there is plenty of time to bring up any grades your child is not satisfied with and maintain the ones they do like! This is a good learning experience to help them identify the areas they need to improve.
Please remember that grades are updated daily/weekly. Please check student grades in INOW.
If you do not have an INOW login, you can contact Jennifer Cole in the office to get your information, or you can log in with your child's information. If you have concerns about your child's average in a subject, please click the "A" activity button to see a breakdown of assignments. As stated at parent night, your child is the first point of contact. If you see a "zero" then it is an assignment they did not turn in. If there is a "0.01" then it is something they can make up due to being absent. If there is a "blank" then this is a grade they might be unable to make up and it is not included in their average and therefore does not hurt their grade.
