4th GRADE MAKES A DIFFERENCE

During Donut Days, the 4th graders will be selling original artwork keychains to benefit the victims of Hurricane Harvey. They have been working hard in art class to create these one-of-a-kind pieces. All proceeds will go directly to the Aldine School District art department, who lost everything in the floods last month. The 4th grade hopes to help rebuild their program with new art supplies. Each keychain is only $1.00, but all donations are welcome. Please stop by the table and check out the unique pieces of art!

The PTO is excited to bring back Music Everywhere! This program gives Montgomery students exposure to a variety of instruments and types of music. Throughout the year, local musicians will come to our school and perform for the students during their lunch. We kicked off our performances last week with CCM student

pianist, Andrew Haug. Please ask your student about

this experience at home. If you know of a musician

who would enjoy playing for our school, please

email their information to Sarah Crane at sarah_e_crane@yahoo.com
