Mountain View NEWSLETTER

Well there is one month in the books! Hopefully

everyone has started their new routines for this school

year. And everyone is ready for the beautiful leaves to

change and the beautiful fall weather.

The first month of school brought some fun

events...we had Back to School Night for the parents, our

first Skating Party, our first Family Dine Out night and our

Back to School Family Fun Night ! And again the Fun & Fitness Committee put on a

wonderful event! Thank you very much Lisa Kelly for your dedication again this year

along with all the parent volunteers that put time in to making this event happen for

our kids. And of course Freddy the Frog for making his guest appearance. 5th Graders

don’t forget to turn in the Yearbook Cover art entries! They are due October 9th!

The month of October is another action packed one...we have our Musical

auditions, Talent Show signups, our Fun & Fitness Event at Paulus Orchard, Sub Sale,

Dads & Donuts, our Dine Out Night at Noodles & Company and the Fall parties and

Costume Parade! Phewww! For our R&K fundraiser sale we will be giving the student

that sells the most out of the entire school his/her homeroom class a pizza party! So

start selling!

If you haven’t signed up to help with a Committees yet you can still do so by

contacting me or get in touch with the Committee Chair. All Committee contact in‐

formation is located on the Co‐Op website.

Be sure to sign up for the new school fundraiser called SHOPAROO. It is so

Come on and join in the fun!

Freddy the Frog with Avery Morin

& Peyton Wylie at Family Fun

Night

This year we are excited to be partnering with a fun, free, and truly easy fundraiser called Shoparoo! Schools nationwide are already earn-ing hundreds and even thousands every year through Shoparoo and it’s a great opportunity for us to really make a difference this year! Shoparoo is school fundraising made easy: the free app turns pictures of your everyday shopping receipts into cash donations and sweepstakes entries for our school! Yep, it’s that simple. No more cut-ting labels, selling door to door, or time-consuming coordinating. All you have to do is shop as you normally do, snap pictures of your re-ceipts with the app, and voila Just shop, snap, earn! Get started today: 1. Download the free Shoparoo app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store 2. Select our school from the list and start taking pictures of your re-ceipts - shop anywhere, buy anything! 3. The first 20 supporters at our school will earn an extra $1 donation from Shoparoo for their first receipt! 4. Earn even more Roo Points, or cash donations, by inviting others to join using your personal referral code 5. You can even select a grade to support and have fun with grade competitions! There’s no limit to how much money we can raise with Shoparoo - the more supporters, the more we will raise for our school. Schools with just 40 supporters are earning an average of $1,000 every year. That’s free, easy money that we could be fundraising too. Check out shoparoo.com to learn more about this awesome app! Thank you for your support!

Teacher and Staff Appreciation Committee

Kim Hartley and I are the Co‐Chairpersons for this committee. Our committee provides a luncheon for the teachers and staff on Parent/Teacher Conference days in November and February. It also provides treats/surprises throughout the school year for Mountain View teachers and staff.

Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week, which is usually held in May, has been moved to March so that there isn’t any conflicts of other school re‐lated activities. During this week, we honor the teachers and staff with a breakfast, luncheon, and other special events. The faculty room has been updated and cleaned up for the teachers and staff. Thank you to all who have signed up to help this Committee.

Student Spotlight Mountain View has a

bulletin board located in

the lobby to recognize

achievements of the stu‐

dents at Mountain View. Pictures and articles are displayed with

the student’s name and a headline about the accomplishment.

For example, if a child participates in a charity walk, wins an

award, is a member of a winning team, or is recognized for any

sport, writing work, charitable work, etc., Mountain View would

like to honor that student. You can send a picture, article, or

provide a written description of the accomplishment and send it

in to the office, so it can be displayed. Mountain View is proud

to recognize students in their achievements.

Next time you are in the lobby, check out the bulletin board.
