PTC Club and Event Happenings:

Wish Lists

Take a peek at our teachers’ Wish lists!  Our teachers have compiled great lists of classroom items that would be useful for students. If you’re interested in purchasing an item, please ship it to yourself and send it in with your student or drop it off in the front office.

The holiday season is a great time to get together with a larger group of parents to purchase pricier items!

Passport Club

Have you checked out the updated passport bulletin board in the main hall yet?! To celebrate the holidays, level 2 and 3 are combined for December passport making it a little easier.

Help your world traveler study to get their name on our bulletin board as a “Frequent Flyer” (all 5 levels complete) or “First Class” (all 5 levels and Special Itinerary)!

Lost your map? Online study maps can be found at  www.passportclubonline.com/maps.html

Can’t get enough geography? Add Special Itinerary! Same check day/time, just have your child tell us they’d like us to check S.I. also.
