The staff is always pleasantly surprised at the variety of healthy and/or delicious foods at the Staff Appreciation Lunches. Thank you!

Lisa is looking for two people to volunteer to do the set up and oversee the buffet during the first lunch shift on February 8th since she will be on a field trip in the morning. This would be a time commitment from 10:30-12:00. Please email her at sllispateacherappreciation@gmail.com if you can help with this job, and she will give you all the information you need.

Lisa is also looking for 1-2 people to take over the coordination of this task force. Duties for this position include organizing the monthly lunches, Teacher Appreciation Week events, overseeing Back to School and Holiday gifts for staff and a few other tasks. Much of this work can be done from home by email or while running your own errands. Lisa will still be active in the task force, but would like to hand over coordinating duties to someone else. If you’re interested or want to learn more, contact Lisa at sllispateacherappreciation@gmail.com.

Lost and Found will be cleaned out on February 1st. Unclaimed uniform pieces will be washed and put out for resale on conference days. The rest of the unclaimed objects will be donated to Goodwill.

After the first count of 2012, TSS parent Ashley Rice has announced the standings in TFS:

And here’s how things look in TSS:

It’s easy to participate!  Just clip this symbol wherever you see it — on food packages, paper products, cleaning supplies — and turn it in to your child’s classroom.  There are collection envelopes or boxes in each classroom, or you can send the Box Tops in your child’s backpack.  Box Tops deposited elsewhere still help the school, but they don’t count toward the party for the classroom that collects the most in the next two months!

If you have questions, please contact Ashley at sllisPAfundraising@gmail.com.

The photographers will begin taking pictures at 10 am.

Be sure to look your best!

Wednesday 1/25: From 4 – 5 pm, the next PA-SAC Transition meeting will be held. This is the first meeting to articulate communications needs for SLLIS-wide and school-specific announcements, refine how we use our current tools, and create consistent expectations for internal and external communications. Lisa Dorner will coordinate donation-based childcare for this event.

Join us at 5:30 – 7:30 pm for the immersion and IB panel, an opportunity for community members to hear from young adult graduates of immersion and/or IB schools. It’s an excellent opportunity to ask them about their K-12 experience, the utility of language immersion and their unique challenges. Envision your child as a SLLIS graduate!

The Board of Directors will meet from 6 – 8 pm. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Thursday 1/26:The PA Intern Task Force will meet from 8:30 – 9:30 am and will be hosted by Lisa Dorner and Molly Koebbe, sllispainterns@gmail.com.

Friday 1/27: Unsatisfied with your school photo or absent on school picture day? Photo retakes/make-ups will be held on Friday the 27th. The photographers will begin taking pictures at 10 am. Be sure to look your best!

Stay warm this week!
