The Weekly Family WAG

Dear Mountain Families,

We hope you enjoyed the weekend. We have so many fun things ahead. This month in our Around the World Journey we are learning a little bit about the continent of Africa. Ask your child if they learned what is the largest country by size in Africa? Every Wednesday we will try to play music from different areas and give some trivia. Friday the students enjoy music they like since it is Fun Friday.

Some grade levels are on field trips this week. They always offer memorable experiences. We are really excited for the upcoming Fund Run. What a great way to get more funding through exercise. We are so grateful to our families for their ongoing support. We couldn't do it without you! Here is to a great week ahead!

In Partnership,

Megan and the Mountain Support Team

The Mountain Elementary FunD Run is the PTA's biggest fundraiser of the year. It allows us to fund field trips, classroom supplies, school events, and so much more. We are at 16 % of our goal. You can donate to the PTA right now with Apple Pay or a credit card by clicking here: https://give.mybooster.com/mountain-elementary . You can also create a profile to help your student collect donations by visiting https://mybooster.com/v3. This allows family members and friends to donate to our school. If you would like to donate cash or a check, you can drop it off at the school or bring it to the Fund Run on September 27th. We really appreciate all of your support! The top ten students are able to PIE a TEACHER and even PIE the Principal. Many students are excited for this opportunity!

The Mountain PTA will be walking in the homecoming parade (Sept 27th) and you are invited to walk with your child. We will be handing out candy and flyers for our upcoming Halloween carnival.

Staging begins are 130, they won’t care in till 130 so you cAN show up between 130 and 230. Hope you join us!

A reminder to you that there is no parking in the yellow painted areas- adults may not leave their car or stop in the crosswalk area. We ask that you park and drop off your kids and cross at the crosswalk. Thanks for your cooperation.

Lunch service is going smoother. Yay! Thanks to all the Parent Help, Chartwells and Mountain Staff things are going well. Please take a minute to remind your child to pick up after themselves. This helps our custodial staff. Thank you.

We are so grateful to these parents for helping serve on this important council. Their first meeting is this week at the District Board Room on Tuesday 9/17 3:45-4:45 p.m.

You too can be a card carrying member of our PTA. Have a voice in how the money is spent for less than 10$. I joined and got to vote!!! https://mountainpta.memberhub.com/store?limit=21&live=true
