A little school shopping confession: I paid $15 for a water
bottle. Dead serious. It’s a sip and mist contraption and I hope
the woman at Olympia got a commission because she had me at “the water bottle
will be 20% off with your coupon”. Well timed on the heels of my son saying
“pleeeeeeese? It’s so cooooool…”
Once home, I began to regret the decision when I watched him
misting the cat. (which he does more to taunt his sister, than the cat) Not to mention it’s certain calamity for the cafeteria. Right up there with those squeezie fruits with
helicopter-prop covers.
But with school shopping comes the trends and perhaps I can
seek some solace knowing it will likely end up in Lost and Found with the Ugg
boots and lunchboxes.
No need to make this first blog a lengthy one knowing you are all busy with your own last minute school prep: but here are some things to feature that may be helpful:
-Picture day is September 10
-September 10 is also our first PTA meeting – right at WCS –
6:00pm. THIS MEETING WILL FOCUS ON A MEET AND GREET, AND WHO WE ARE. ALL ARE WELCOME!
-WCS Open House is scheduled for September 17, 5:30 to 7:00.
-The PTA will be sponsoring the 2nd Close Buy
Fundraiser with orders due by October 1.
Online and catalog shopping are both available. Look for catalogs in the
next week or so. Meanwhile, for some
armchair shopping, here is a sneak-peek for 2015! 2015 Close Buy Peek
-We are also working on another Cyber Safety info night for
parents which will coordinate with assignment of the I pads through the MLTI
program.
