STUDENT STORE NEWS
We have been so fortunate to have Susan Stohl and Elizabeth Mecerkt lead our school store these last two years. Sadly, they will be moving on to the HS next year and we need to find a 2-3 volunteers to fill their shoes. The good news is that they have everything dialed in so the next parents can easily take-over. See below for more information. Who has great school spirit and wants to work alongside engaged students and other enthusiastic parents? Then grab one or two friends and jump right in! One parent can manage the parent & student volunteer schedule for working the 3 lunches daily. One parent can manage the Staples Rewards Program which consists of gathering recycled printer cartridges and turning in for rewards certificates...then the fun part is shopping at Staples with the Rewards money for school store items! Multiple parents should work managing Spirit Wear: working with designer to chose items, maintain inventory, sell at schools events (Registration days, Back to School BBQ, Parent Night, Parent/Teacher Conferences...). Please contact Elizabeth Meckert with any questions: cell 770-309-5540 & email: semeckert@gmail.com PLEASE donate your used printer cartidges! You can also support the School Store by donating any used printer cartridges to the school office. These are exchanged for credit through the Staples Reward Program. |
