March Newsletter

Endeavor Hall Volunteer Organization

March 2011

We had an AMAZING February at Endeavor Hall! Spirit Week was filled with activities that unified our student body. Literacy Week promoted reading and writing in multiple ways. We had another fabulous Book Fair, and our teachers loved their meals during SEP’s. We owe a huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped during these events. We love our Endeavor Hall family! Thank you.

Upcoming Events

Has your student told you about the things they have been doing with our authors? Our unique and incredible Writer in Residence program is going very well. We know that many of you would love to meet the authors involved. Please mark your calendars for Friday, May 18th. Endeavor Hall will present its first annual Author Night that evening. Planning has already begun and we are so very excited! More details will come soon.

Because of Spring Break, the next Casual Conversations breakfast will be held on the 2nd Friday in April, April 13th from 7:45 – 8:45am at the McDonalds on 5600 W and 3500 S. We’ve enjoyed visiting with those who have so far been able to come. We’ll be hanging out near the play area. Hope to see you there.

The State Inspirations award assembly will be held on March 30th at Providence Hall. If your student will be participating at this level, you’ll receive details about the night as soon as the hosting school passes them on to us.

We will be holding elections for our Volunteer Organization officers in May. Anyone who has, or will have, a child attending Endeavor Hall for the 2012-2013 school year may run for office. Watch for more information on how to apply in our April newsletter.

Volunteer Opportunities

Has your child brought home an “A for Applebee’s” card yet? There are so many restaurants and businesses that give schools gift cards for free meals, treats or other rewards to use as incentives for our kids. We are looking for someone dynamic who will solicit these businesses and keep track of who is participating. If you are interested in helping, please leave a comment.

We are always looking for help with drop off and pick up traffic. If you can help even one time, please leave a comment.

Reminders

Has your child had a chance to join the Birthday Book Club? To celebrate their birthday, have them give a copy of their favorite book to our library. Or, ask our amazing librarian for a suggestion. Birthday Book Club labels are available in the front office and in the library. If you have questions about this “club,” please leave a comment.

There is always a Box Tops collection bin in the front lobby & our Green Fiber Recycling bin has plenty of room in it! These are easy ways to generate funds for our school.

Thank you for all you do! Have a stellar month!

Your VO officers, Celeste, Pam, Debbie, Brittney & Chantelle
