Teacher
Appreciation Week Update ...
A
wonderful card of gratitude was received by the PTSF from the teachers thanking
the PTSF committees and volunteers for all of the many enhancements and
encouragement provided this year. They said in the card that the
PTSF has truly been a blessing to them this year!
A
Note from your PTSF President…
On behalf of the PTSF committees I say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK
YOU again for your support of our program this year! We have been
able to accomplish many terrific things this year and ALL were made possible by
PTSF memberships, use of the SBEC grocery card program and the generous gifts
of time and service from our SBEC parents / grandparents! YOU are truly making a difference!
PTSF
Leadership – Would You be the One?
As
we start to plan for the 2008-2009
school year, the PTSF could use a few more people willing to take committee
positions and leadership roles.
Some positions only require a couple hours a
month while
others require more time. Please consider joining the fun and rewarding
PTSF service team! Take a look at some of the key positions and needs for
next year and let us know if you are willing to help.
There
is a tentative luncheon and planning meeting on Monday June 9th at 11:30am. Please let us know if
you can join us! Kimberly@kimberlymedlock.com
or BMFaust@gmail.com
Please be sure to register your e-mail
address on the www.sbectrojans.com/ptsf
website if you want to stay informed over the summer with any PTSF news!
Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they
just have the heart.
What
makes a good school a great school? Good
kids? Great kids? Involved parents!
PTSF

duty helpers, Teachers Appreciation week committee, and teacher volunteer

THANK
YOU for your support of the Test Drive Cars Not People event on
5/17. We had over 100 SBEC students attend! It was a fantastic event that will hopefully
have a life changing, positive effect on all the Mid South youth that attended.
There
have been some questions about the new Kroger card $ bonus program offered
through the stores. I am told that their
program does not allow you to use your SBEC issued card for the bonus money. If you decide to use their temporary program please know that you
have to get a new card through the store and there is no way for SBEC to get
credit for what is loaded on a card issued directly from the store. Also, if you do decide to use the temporary
Kroger bonus $ promotion please make it a point to go back to your SBEC issued Kroger card after the promotional
dates. Using the SBEC issued card is the only way for our school to earn the
5% earnings on every pre-loaded amount.
The grocery card program has been able to provide the new Trojan
mascot, microwaves for the teacher lounges, the money for the faculty
appreciation luncheons, new sofa for the elementary work room, Christmas gift
certificates for the faculty and soooo much more. Your continued support and use of the SBEC
grocery cards for Kroger and Schnuck’s is greatly appreciated! Our Kroger card earnings for 3/23-4/19 were $1,217.35.
If you need a new Kroger or Schnuck’s please see Elizabeth Jenkins
in the HS office.
SBEC Kroger cards make great graduation
gifts! All college bound grads will
need gas and food and it’s a great way to help them budget!
Other Matters
Business
Listings for next year’s SBEC Student Directory
We
will again feature the special SBEC family “yellow pages”. This is a special business card advertisement
section of the directory that allows fellow SBEC families to know whom to call
when services are needed. HUNDREDS of
these directories will be distributed.
The cost to be included in the directory is only $25. You can send in your business card and check
made out to SBEC PTSF in a labeled envelope to Elizabeth Jenkins in the HS
office. Deadline is 5/31/08.
If
you would like to donate your good condition school uniform pieces to the PTSF
for reselling, then please put the items in a bag labeled as a donation and
drop off in the lost & found bin in the front lobby.
