Good Morning North Stars! Today is a B day.
This is a reminder that today is Literacy Cafe during lunch and recess. If you are signed up, please don't forget to bring your book, grab your lunch, and report right away to the LMC.
The success of our Giving Tree depends on the generosity of our school families and our amazing community partners. Yesterday, our very own Officer Holz presented a check, from the Menomonee Falls Police Association, to Mrs. Kovars and Mrs. Bartels in support of The Giving Tree. We are so appreciative of the community support that is shown towards this amazing program. As of the end of the school day yesterday, we have completed 10 entire lists and 350 wishes! Great work, North Stars! The Giving Tree will close on Sunday, December 3rd. If you are still thinking about supporting one of our families, now is the time. Please click here to be taken to the Giving Tree sign up. If you have any questions, please contact Rachelle Bartels (bartrac@sdmfschools.org) or Karen Habegger (habekar@sdmfschools.org) in the Student Services office.
