School banking update

The last day of school banking is next Tuesday, May 22. School banking with CapCom will resume in the fall. We are still accepting school banking applications. The forms are available through the main office at school or online here [PDF]. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to earn $10.00 for your child’s year-end report card. You may continue to make deposits and take advantage of CapCom’s many student incentives throughout the summer at any CapCom branch.
Thank you for a great year and we look forward to seeing your children in the fall.

Eagle Spirit Sale Latest News

Shirts, sweat shirts, bags and stickers are all in and will be delivered to your child at school on Monday, 5/14. Again, thank you to everyone who ordered Spirit Wear!
More great news; there is enough interest in BC golf umbrellas that I will in fact be placing an order! Don't worry it's not too late to get your order in. If you would like to order an umbrella (maybe for you, a teacher, a gift for a relative?), please email Laurel Skultety by Monday, May 14th, lskultety@verizon.net. Payment can be made by sending in a check to school with your child made out to Eagle PTO placed in an envelope marked "Spirit Sale." Umbrellas are $18.00. They will be in around May 25th. Once they arrive I will set up times at Eagle for pick up. For a visual of the umbrella see attached. Stay dry!

Also included: during their biography study, 3rd graders chose one famous person to bring to life in their wax museum.
