Helpers Tomorrow

We are very short on teachers tomorrow.  If you have an extra hour off, would you please loan it to someone who otherwise won't have a break?  I'll have times and places with needs in the morning.  Thanks!

IEW Parent Overview

Caren  and myself will be offering an IEW Parent Overview class during the lunch hour tomorrow.  We will discuss what we plan to cover in Level 1 & Level 2 Writing, discuss the IEW model, and answer any questions.  Meet in the Teacher's Lounge if you are interested

Moms: There will be a sign-up sheet at co-op this week for lunch food for both days of the work project.

with your hard work and smiles.

Meeting for Seniors: This Friday (the 16th) at co-op over your lunch break. Moms are welcomed if your free.

Thanks to all. Contact us if you have a truck, sod cutter, etc.

Cleaning Schedule

Please check the cleaning schedule for this week. It is posted on the website. Also, there are many families who are staying to eat lunch at Cornerstone. The job of cleaning the lunch room has become a much bigger one this year. If a few of the moms could help out by wiping down the tables after you are finished eating, that would be so helpful to the mom who is in charge of clean up in there.
