Greetings Hoppers families!
This will be such an exciting week, we can't wait for it to start!! It's Teachers Appreciation Week! Yes! Let's shower this school with love and appreciation. We all were busy with PSSAs and other things but we still need your help to show this great group of teachers how much they mean to us and to our kids. Please read below.
This is it, one month to go and the school year will be over. PSSAs are done and we want to give a shout out to all the kiddos out there who either took the PSSA tests or simply showed their support. We had a very colorful school this week. Reidenbaugh kids, you rock!!
TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK: First, thank you SO much to all who have generously donated towards Teacher Appreciation Week! This week means a lot to them and we couldn’t do it without your support. We also have quite a few needs remaining, especially funds to purchase remaining luncheon supplies for Wednesday and the coffee & donuts for Friday. So, if you have not yet taken a look at the sign-up genius we could really use your support to make this week a success. If it’s easier, monetary contributions can be sent via PayPal or Venmo. Please contact Kim Firestone for more information on that, at kimberly.ann.firestone@gmail.com. Last, if you have already signed up to donate an item please take note of the due dates and send those items in accordingly!
Thank you again for your support, we can’t wait to celebrate our amazing teachers and staff this week! Please click here for the Sign-Up Genius and feel free to contact Kim Firestone at if you have any questions or concerns.
