The Student Council collected and parents donated HUNDREDS of pairs of socks and HUNDREDS of pairs of underwear for 3rd-5th grade students of Buncombe Count Schools in North Carolina. These 45 schools are still rebuilding after the devastating effects of Hurricane Helene in September. Thank you families! These will be shipped this week to families across this county.

Read, read, read. Take this week to read great books to your students. We will have some on display in the commons area for you to check out.

Mrs. Armstrong's! Actually, it falls during spring break but if you want to stop by and drop off a goodie, she will be at the school only Monday and Tuesday. She loves flowers and lotions and health items. She cannot have cake right now but her family will appreciate it! She will be out the rest of the week on sick leave so its a great reason to stop and see her. She is so dedicated to our building and is a wealth of information for our families and a GREAT, WONDERFUL help to me and my busy schedule.

Come ask the front office and place these on your vehicle to display our school! 8 hours of volunteer time per week; after 5 days turn in to the front office and put in your time.

All families should have at least 20 hours of volunteer time by this time of the year. If you do not, refer to the email I sent to families over break detailing ways to increase volunteer time.

The following is duplicate information sent prior to Winter Break.

Our APC voted on and approved the following policy changes:

* Increase to $250 classroom supply purchase (25 hours)

* Increase classroom cleaning totals from 4.5 hours per year to 5

* Families will receive volunteer time for any plays/sporting events held at Midnight Sun or events in which Midnight Sun is involved in outside the school (basketball games at other buildings, Battle of the Books Competitions, etc.). For example: our Christmas Program can be counted as volunteer time along with baking cookies and the cost of the cookies.

* Families cannot receive volunteer time from outside of the school (going to the museum, hunting, reading to your child) *

We understand the challenges families are facing trying to make volunteer time quotas. If you have any questions, please contact Amy Harren (amy.harren@matsuk12.us).

If you are in need of volunteer time:

* Clean Chromebooks

* organize books by subject area

* clean/organize ball room

* clean walls in gym and common areas (hallways)

* clean interior windows (after 3:30)

* laminate

* build bulletin boards

My Hot Lunchbox is an additional program Midnight Sun is enrolled in; this takes ordering and payment out of our hands and into the parents. For now, we are teaming with Smashburger (Tuesdays) and Raising Caines (Friday). See the link to set up your account: https://ordernow.myhotlunchbox.com/sign-up

See the information attached about this great program! Subway is no longer an option for our building.
