Mrs. Soriano is looking for parent shelving volunteers in the library from 3-3:30pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday. You can choose to volunteer weekly, twice a month or even once a month. If interested, send Mrs. Soriano an email with the day of the week that works best for you at soriano_michele@svvsd.org.
Mrs. Soriano is also looking for someone who might be able to make a set of alphabet letters for the picture book bins with a Cricut. She can provide the material. Please let her know if you would be willing to help! Thank you!
From the Health Office
Please remember to pack a change of clothes for your student in their backpack! Accidents do happen and it is easiest if there is a familiar change of clothes to use. Soiled clothes will come home in a plastic bag in your student's backpack.
Milk Caps for Moola
I hope you've been saving your Longmont Dairy milk caps all summer! The collection bin is near the front office. Look for our friend Mootilda, ready to take your clean caps and rings off your glass bottles. No other items/trash, please, and NO need to scrub, but a quick rinse is appreciated. Bag them or send them loose! This is a great and easy fundraiser for the school, each cap earns us five cents!
Any questions? Contact Becca Mayernik at thalia657@gmail.com
Marker Recycling Program
As you are going through old school supplies from last year, please collect up any dried out pens or markers (highlighters and dry erase are fine too!), even glue sticks! Staples will take these for recycling, and we can keep them out of the landfills. You can find boxes near the front office, in the pods, or in the art room. Thanks for your help making Blue Mountain a little greener!
