Lester Laminack Day was a huge success

On Tuesday Dec. 18th 2007 (Here by known a
s Lester Laminack Day) the students of S. Ellen Jones had the opportunity of a lifetime. They got to meet the famed children's author Lester L. Laminack. He visited the school and read selections of his books to the classrooms. He then gave pointers on how to be a better writer. For the Christmas craft this year, each child got to create their very own t-shirt design in honor of the visit. Each class picked an image from one of Mr. Laminack's books and hand outlined and colored it on the shirts. I can tell you that he was very impressed. He even joked that he was going to brag to his sister about having his very own day. After the reading, each student got to sit down to their very own teacakes and tea in the cafeteria. If you are unsure what teacakes are, (I was) you should read the authors most popular book to date: Saturdays and Teacakes.

Conferences were a huge success

Parent teacher conferences were held on Thursday Oct 25th and ended up being a huge success. Since the teachers were so busy in meetings V.O.I.C.E provided them with lunch for the day. We got them very nice sub sandwiches, vegi trays, chips, candy and drinks. Make sure when you see the teachers that you thank them for all they do. They deserve it.

Update on the pancake breakfast

The deadline for ticket sales has been extended to 11/2/07 so you still have a week to get your ticket orders in. So far we have Mrs Woodward, Mrs Kulwicki and Mrs Wesley signed up to be servers. Also the class with the most ticket sales will receive a pizza party courtesy of Voice. Hope to see everyone there.

Pancake Breakfast coming soon

We have partnered with Applebee's neighborhood bar and grill to offer a pancake breakfast for our families. The cost per ticket is $5 and gets you all you can eat pancakes, milk,juice, coffee or Pepsi products, and an all around good time. We expect at least 1 of the teachers to be an official waitress for the event as well as a few students and voice members. Best of all $4 of the admission price goes back to V.O.I.C.E to help fund Christmas crafts this year. Should be a great time. Hope to see you there.

Last Nights V.O.I.C.E meeting

To those who may have tried to attend last nights meeting I extend my sincerest apologies. We had the executive meeting while doing concessions and I planned on getting back in time to meet with any interested parents at 6:30. Unfortunately due to the weather I was unable to make it back in time.
