Grant Wood Hearing Testing
Lasalle students are having their hearing checked by a Grant Wood Audiologist on December 9th. The grades that are evaluated are K, 1st, 2nd and 5th. Also, anyone with a known hearing loss or any student new to our school will be tested. If for any reason you do not want your student to be tested, please email me and let me know.
Thanks,
Nurse Shawn
Scrip
The school year is almost half over. If you're still not earning funds towards next year's tuition, what's holding you back?
The easiest way to earn is by using scrip to purchase the things that you regularly buy, like gas. We all buy it and it just makes sense to get a little benefit from paying those high prices, right? Now is a great time to get started, because we're all going to be spending a little more as we prepare for the Christmas holiday.
How do you get started? Kwik Star cards are reloadable, which means that once you purchase a scrip card through our program and register it in your account, you can easily add funds to your card at any hour of the day. Even when Kwik Star is not offering a bonus rebate, they still have the highest rebate percentage of any gas station! If you don't already have a scrip account, you'll need to set up one first. This is how you do it:
1. Complete the quick sign-up form either on the RaiseRight website or mobile app. Download the RaiseRight app from the Apple App Store or Google Play or visit RaiseRight.com/enroll on your computer.
2. Select “Join a Program”
3. Enter our organization’s unique enrollment code, which is 796B34E448324.
4. Complete the fields to verify your account.
5. Enter and verify your phone number for 2-step verification (2-step verification protects your account if you forget your password or someone is using your account without your permission) to tie your earnings to our organization.
6. Set up online payment with your bank account
- From your Account page, choose Settings > Payment Options > Bank Account
- Follow the steps to automatically link your bank account
- There is a $0.15 fee per order
- You can also choose to pay online using a Visa, Mastercard or Discover card; there is a 2.6% fee per transaction
Once you have your account set up, visit the Support page to view videos and other resources to help you place your first order. If you want to get started right away with having a reloadable Kwik Star scrip card, we can quickly deliver one to LaSalle for you.
You can reload cards and order e-cards at any time. We'll be ordering physical gift cards each weekend from now through Dec. 11. This guarantees that you'll receive your scrip cards before Christmas. We typically submit our order for physical cards by 3:00 Sunday afternoon and orders will be delivered to LaSalle Thursday morning.
Please contact scrip coordinator Paula Fries (319-329-6829) if you have questions or need help.

3rd Grade Service Learning Project
CAN YOU HELP US WITH OUR SERVICE LEARNING PROJECT?
NO MONEY INVOLVED!!!!
Are you looking for a way to get rid of blankets and comforters you don’t use anymore?
Written by 3rd grade students (Miss Cooling’s Class)
Dear Students and Parents at Lasalle Elementary,
We are working on a Service Learning project. Our 3rd grade class decided to help an animal shelter that needs blankets and comforters for animals beds. If you have gently used blankets or comforters you can send them with your child after Christmas Break. We will accept them through the end of January!!! We will have a drop-off box in the hallway by the office at the Lasalle Elementary( K-4) building. The blankets and comforters should be washed but PLEASE DO NOT buy new ones, we only want donated old ones. We thank you for helping us and appreciate your donations!
Thank you for helping the animals at the shelter get what they need!
