View this email in your browser A Note from the Principals Happy Monday! Carnival sign ups are open on schoolspeak! Thank you to everyone who joined us for our PTO meeting last week. The PTO is currently looking into getting quotes from security companies. In the meantime, we have set up a GoFundMe page for anyone who would like to contribute to paying for a security guard to start this school year. We estimate it will cost approximately $30,000 to have a full-time guard on campus from 7:30am to 6pm. We can fund some of that with the carnival fundraiser but if you'd like to contribute, here is the link: https://gofund.me/da32a846    I pray that our campus continues to be a safe and welcoming place for everyone who is here.  St. Michael, the Archangel, protect us.  REMINDERS: The chocolate sale starts today. If you are interested in selling chocolate bars please come to the office to pick up a box or two (or send in the preorder slip with your child).  Lunch Service: Our new lunch company may drop our service because we are not meeting the minimum required 50 lunches per day. They are very healthy and delicious. If you have been thinking about using them, I encourage you to do so! Purchase online here:  https://organickidsla.com/ January is priority re-enrollment for all of our current families. If you need help re-enrolling or would like to speak with us about it, please make an appointment with Mrs. Castro. I encourage everyone to re-enroll in January (and to enroll younger siblings) as we are expecting all classes to be full by mid-February. After Feb. 1 we cannot reserve a spot in the class for your child.
