Home & School Autumn 2021 Newsletter


·      Gift Card Raffle
Home & School is hustling to get our fundraisers done early this year and our Gift Card Raffle helps to pay for all the fun activities ahead. We’re looking for donations of gift cards that you might have around that you aren’t planning to use or just want to donate to the cause. Then we’ll get them together and have a raffle to win them all, just in time for the holiday season!
Please send any gift cards in to the office by November 5th!
Keep an eye out for tickets the week of November 15th with the draw happening on November 26th!! 

 

·      Christmas Gift Mart
This hugely popular event is back again this year for the kids to do a little shopping at Athena’s own Christmas Gift Mart. To make it happen we need your gently used or low-cost new items that would be suitable gifts for students’ family members (Mom, Dad, grandparents, siblings, etc.).(No food or clothing please). The students will come through to pick out their gifts ($1 each) and have them wrapped ready to be put under the tree! Wrapping material like gift bags, paper and tape is appreciated as well. More details to follow but for now, start collecting items around the house to add to the Athena Market! J

 

·      Calendars!
We have a few calendars left to sell and being 12 month calendars it’s not too late to get one for your fridge. They have all the important dates for the year so you don’t miss anything and 100% of the proceeds go to Home & School to support Breakfast Program, Staff Appreciation and all the other things we do. Send $10 into the office and get yourself a calendar before they’re all gone!

 

·      Breakfast Program
We’re looking for a volunteer for Tuesday mornings from 7:30-8:45. Maybe you’re already dropping a student off for early morning band, or have a little time to spare that morning and can butter toast or cut up cheese? Contact the office if this sounds like a way you’d like to share your time with the Athena family. 

 

·      Next meeting is November 1st, 7pm at the school library. All are welcome!
