September 6, 2018
We had our first Nest Meetings this week. We are starting to see quite a bit of spirit amongst the teams. Teachers are giving out tickets for all types of good things. Students are placing them in designated team boxes in the cafeteria. The team with the most tickets at the end of the six weeks receives a reward party! We are asking each student to wear their lanyard each day to show team spirit and help them get to know other team members. Go Team Amistad! Go Team Isibindi! Go Team Reveur! Go Team Altruismo!
SITE BASED COMMITTEE MEMBERS NEEDED
We are looking for parents to serve on our Site Based Decision Making Committee for this school year. The meetings are once a month from 4 p.m. – 5 p.m. If you are interested, please submit an email to Cheryl McGill at cmcgill@lcisd.org.
CHERRYDALE FUNDRAISER
Students received a Cherrydale Fundraiser packet today. This is our only major fundraiser this school year. The profits from this sale in the past has gone a long way in helping us provide things such as student incentives, rewards, assemblies, classroom libraries, etc. This year we also hope to purchase new tables for our Courtyard. The students really enjoy eating outside and sometimes even having class outside.
You can log on to Cherrydale.com/FRWERRT to create your personal Seller’s Page for your friends and relatives.
We realize that catalog and online sales is not for everyone. Therefore, you might want to consider a donation to Wertheimer Middle School this school year. In lieu of sales and for a donation of $50, your child will be eligible to attend the school DJ party. Simply place your check or cash in an envelope and write “donation” and your child’s name on the envelope.
Catalog orders and money is due by September 21, but you do not have to wait until then to turn it in. We will have a collection box in the front office and in the gym each morning for students to turn in completed packets or donations. Be sure student’s name is on the order form.
