Please see the following request and let Connie or Ruby know if you are interested – thanks in advance for the help and consideration!

Busy Bees Parenting Network Coordinator Needed

Ms. Ruby approached me the other day to find out who is the coordinator of the Busy Bees Parenting Network. Although Christy Poisot and Amanda Frocke were heavily involved in years past; their children no longer attend Avalon. Is there any one out there that would like to step into the role?

The role would include occasional meetings with Ms. Ruby and Ms. Connie to discuss upcoming events and disseminating that information back to the room parents and the Busy Bee network. The role would also include coordinating one to two school fundraisers each year such as a spaghetti dinner or garage sale.

If you are interested or know someone who might be, please post to the discussion board and let Ms. Ruby and Ms. Connie know. I’m sure Christy and Amanda would be happy to provide any guidance necessary to make your efforts successful.

A Causes page for Avalon Academy has been created to allow for parents to request friends and family to help support continued quality inner loop childcare.

The site is located here: http://www.causes.com/causes/631785

Several former parents have posted this as a birthday wish for their children and as a “thank you” to Avalon Academy to continue the legacy of giving back.

A recent unforeseen expense was the $1500 in repairs for the AC unit in the lunch room – as many of you may have seen in the works the past few weeks.

We hope this page makes it easier for you to help the school as Busy Bee Parents – minimum effort, maximum impact.

Please, share the link on Facebook, e-mail, etc. with your communities. A check of funds raised monthly will be mailed to the school directly. All donations made on Causes are tax-deductible.

Thank You for your consideration!
