Announcements – March 10

Open House and Science Fair
I hope to see all of our Lakeshore families at our Open House/Science Fair tonight! Teachers will open their classrooms from 6:00-7:00 pm so that your child can take you on a tour, highlight special centers/activities and share their work. The annual Science Fair will begin at 7:00. You will be amazed at the many creative and innovative exhibits on display in the community room. See you tonight as we celebrate our students’ brilliant work! A big appreciation goes to Mr. Barry Draper, parent volunteer Science Fair coordinator, and all of the parent volunteers who helped with the Lakeshore Science Fair. We are grateful for your contribution!

PTA News Update
We need our community now more than ever! We are far below our budget goal for the PTA. Our school is facing huge budget cuts next year and in order for us to counter some of the effects of this we need EVERYONE to support our school. Please consider making a donation to the PTA today. PTA Pledge forms can be downloaded from our website. You can also make a donation directly through our website. Here you can click on the Donate button to be directed our PayPal site which accepts most charge cards. All donations made by charge cards will be processed through our PayPal account.

The Auction Catalog Is Up and it is New And Improved!
Check out our new auction list format with photos, details and search functions by category, price or auction status. Start thinking about what you want to bid on, and start soliciting more donations. If you have your own business, a donation or sponsorship is a way to get your own publicity. If you have a skill, set yourself up for auction.  Contact: Megumi Fuse megumifuse@gmail.com or Andrea Brown  lakeshore.auction.2010@gmail.com with questions or for help with ideas on donations.

March SCRIP Order—earn money for the Lakeshore PTA!
Order forms for our next Scrip order will be sent home today, Wednesday, March 10th. You can purchase prepaid shopping cards and gift cards and have a percentage of your purchase (up to 23%!) donated to the Lakeshore PTA. This is a great way to earn money from Lakeshore, because the donation comes out of purchases that you would be making anyway. Scrip is available from MANY retailers, so you can purchase Scrip for your everyday needs – groceries, gas, clothing, entertainment, etc., or you can buy gift cards from stores like Borders, See’s Candies, Toys R Us, and Bed Bath and Beyond. Just complete the order form and return it to school with your child, along with a check. March orders are due on Friday, March 19th and will be delivered by Friday, March 26th. If you want more information or have any questions about just how Scrip works, please feel free to contact me! Thank you. – Melissa McGinn
