January Newsletter
School Spirit 2015!
Wishing all our families a warm welcome back to the second half of our school year! This January is ramping up into a busy month at Lynn Fripps. Our Hot Lunch dates and vendors have been announced and Munch-A-Lunch is open for ordering! Kindergarten registration opens Monday, January 19th (register before March 31st to ensure a spot for September- forms can be picked up in the office).
Also, we have two exciting School Spirit Days approaching. January 23rd is School Spirit Day where children are invited to wear the Lynn Fripps school colors of Royal Blue and Yellow. If you ordered Spirit Wear last year, this is a great opportunity to wear it! If you didn’t… good news! Thanks to popular demand, we have announced a second round of ordering. Order by January 23rd for a t-shirt ($13) or hoodie ($25)! The kids really love showing their school pride! You can order online here!
February 26th is Pink Shirt Day where we take a stand against bullying! We are offering pink shirts for sale amidst our spirit wear and orders are due January 23rd to ensure clothing arrives in time for this important school event. T-shirts are just $13. We hope you’ll support this great cause!

Halloween Helpers
We are so excited about this year’s spook-tacular family Halloween Dance on October 28th! We are looking for some brave volunteers to make this event a super scary success.
If you have a spare 45 minutes to help out, we need extra hands to help with the concession, cash and pizza pick ups.
You can find our volunteer sign up HERE!
Let’s Raise Some Dough!
The COBS Dough Raiser Program
For every purchase you make at COB’s Breads in Walnut Grove (20330 88th Ave), they will kindly donate 5% of the sale to our school. Just think how much tastier all their delicious scones, cinnamon buns, and fresh baked bread will be when you know you’re supporting your child’s school. Just be sure to tell them you’re from Lynn Fripps Elementary and we’ll see the dough roll in!

Classroom Enrichment Drive
Help us Achieve our Goal of $2000!
About the Classroom Enrichment Drive:
We are hopeful that our 2014 school year is just around the corner and would love to kick off the year with this important event. Last year, thanks to your generosity, the PAC was able to provide teachers with additional tools to enhance the educational experience for our children. The Classroom Enrichment Drive is one of the largest fundraisers for the PAC each year. 100% of the funds are provided to teachers to enhance the classroom and school environment!
Your 2013 dollars at work:
$1,800 for Grade 2 Classroom Readers
$2,000 for Classroom materials (divided equally by class)
$3,000 for field trip supplements (divided equally by class)
This year, we hope to continue the Lynn Fripps tradition of generosity and support. Your donation of $25 per child (maximum of $50 per family) will help us achieve our goals this school year. Please help us reach our goal of raising $2,000 through the Classroom Enrichment Drive! To make a donation, please look for the newsletter form that will arrive in print and via email when school is in session.
