PHAST Facts - November 4, 2011

 
We have had some feedback that PHAST Facts is difficult to read, so we are trying out some changes this week.  The individual columns will provide specific information on the different schools, and hopefully allow for more space.  We hope that this makes things a little easier for parents who are looking for just Elementary School or just Junior High information.  
 
We welcome your questions and comments, and would love to hear from you.

No-Fuss Fundraiser
For those of you who are new to Providence Hall Elementary, you will be thrilled to learn that you won't need to sell popcorn, candy bars, or wrapping paper.  In order to make fundraising as efficient as possible, we have our year-long No Fuss Fundraiser.  We understand that the beginning of school requires a great deal of spending.  Because of that, we have provided the ability to contribute all year long!  In order for our ePHAST Parents program to work well, we ask for $25 per student.  This helps pay for activities throughout the year, and allows ePHAST Parents to help the school as much as possible.  If you have several children in the school, feel free to spread out your donations throughout the year to make things easier for you financially.  We appreciate your contribution! If you would like to write a check, please make it out to PHAST Parents and give it to Kathy Davis in an envelope marked PHAST.  If you would like to donate online, Click here to donate!
BoxTops: For boxtop information and how the program works in conjunction with dress down days for your student(s), please click here.
