A Note from our Student

in conjunction with the Animal Shelter at 53 Maple Ave. Scotia, NY.
They will be collecting items from
Wednesday, May 16th until next Wednesday, May 23d. Student Council
members will be located at a table in front of the main office and a
table in front of the doors by the gym from 7:55- 8:15a.m on those
mornings to collect your donation. A letter will be coming home on
Monday, May 14th with an attached list of preferred items.
Please read the list carefully to ensure you send in the correct
items.
The Arongen Student Council will
personally deliver our donations to the Animal Shelter. Please look
through your house and see if there is anything you might be able to
donate to help a homeless animal

your child's responsibility to have you sign the reading log
and have it completely filled out. I will be checking their logs
periodically.

In regards to celebrating your child's
birthday with treats, the 5th grade team have decided to allow

rings) I will play a game of your child's choice to celebrate
with the entire class.
