BOOTLEGGERS' BALL - IT'S A WRAP!

The Bootleggers' Ball has come and gone and a good time was had by all!  Thank you to ALL the guys and dolls, gangsters, flappers, coppers, silent movie stars and everyone that attended, bought auction items and danced!  PFC especially wants to thank the many volunteers that helped make this event happen.  It could not be done without you all!  Special thanks to Co-Chairs Marjan Sagheb and Nicki Genovese for a wonderful event and evening.

TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK IS HERE

Carpenter's 2012 Teacher Appreciation Week is finally here. Join us as we celebrate the teachers, aides, and staff who make a huge difference in the lives of our children. Activities are planned campus-wide and in each classroom. Don't forget to honor and appreciate our teachers and staff all this week. If you need more ideas on what you can do in your classroom, contact Rachel at rrbachmann@yahoo.com

THE SWISS TEACHERS HAVE ARRIVED

If you notice some new faces on campus this week, that just may be one of the 6 Swiss Exchange Teachers joining us to see how classroom learning is done American Style. Please feel free to join us for an assembly on campus on Monday morning after dropoff to welcome the Swiss Exchange Teachers. These 6 extraordinary student teachers will be living with their Carpenter host families and working with our teachers over the next couple of weeks. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about the program, please contact Mary Fortuna at mtfkuser@sbcglobal.net
