School has started and it is time to plan our events for Kirkpatrick for 2011-12 year! I find it hard to believe that we are entering our 5th year (I think!) in partnership with our neighborhood school!  I believe we have all been blessed by this important ministry and am thankful we have this opportunity to support these children and teachers in some small way! You can help in the following ways:
 
Supplies for Students: During the month of September we will collect school supplies for teachers to have on hand when students need them.  They suggest primarily pencils and notebook paper...but ANYTHING you find in the school supply section at Kroger, Walmart, etc. would probably be useful for students or teachers!  I will have two colorful crates at the church near fellowship hall and Sanctuary for collection! 
 
Treats for teachers (September - May):  Put a cake, cookies, etc. in the teacher's lounge. Can be "deli" made or homemade...does not matter! Just let me know when you can.
 
Achievement Celebrations: Our first is October 26.  We will do CUPCAKES since I got off schedule last year! Ha! I will send out a reminder for help closer to time. Other celebrations will probably be in February and April.
 
Read to a class: Teachers like to have outside adults come in to read to their classes.  Carole Mangrem and Rachel Tackett have been very faithful in this. Let me know if you want to do this...or contact SuzAnne Walton, Principal directly to set it up!
 
Victory Luncheon for Teachers and Staff (May)...to celebrate a winning school year!  More later on this! It is always lovely and much appreciated by all!!!!
 
And, if you can't be involved but you want to donate money toward any of the above activities, please let me know. 
I also welcome any NEW ideas for how we might strengthen our partnership with Kirkpatrick!

Thanks!
