Announcements for the week of 10-15-12

Lot's of things are happening this week at Gould!

Now until Friday: Fall Candy Grams are for sale! Only 50 cents will let a friend know you are thinking about them! All money goes for Kiss-a-Pig!

Wednesday, Oct 17: Bring your parents to lunch day! Join your child for lunch at 12:30 this Wednesday!

Stock Market Game Week 2: Currently our class has 2 teams in the top 20 in Chatham County! The students are competing against grade 4-12, which means our class is beating students older than them! Great job! Congratulations to Money Makers and Angels Inc. who are currently ranked 12th & 17th in the county!

Also, author Elvira Woodruff noticed our class on Donors Choose. She emailed me and is sending us 25 copies of her book George Washington's Socks, and is willing to write and video chat with us once we finish! It is so exciting a real author is willing to share her work with our class and take the time to talk to us!

Last but not least, here is this week's homework!

Donors Choose Match Offer!

Some of you know that our class is on Donors Choose. Donors Choose is a non-profit organization that helps classrooms receive free supplies, such as books, technology, and school supplies. Currently our class has three projects up for classroom books! 

Donors Choose is also hosting a "match the money" offer this week! That means for any amount donated, if you use the special match code below, Donors Choose will match your money!

Spread the word! Send friends and family to http://www.donorschoose.org/themrsmith and ask them to support our classroom.

Donors must enter PUMPKIN, during check-out where it says "Match or gift code" - and voila! The donation is automatically doubled. See where donors must enter the code.
