This edition of CHEER is chock-full of holiday events and ways to give back to the Buckman community. There's news about SUN classes and programs to requests from our librarian and information about the Season of Sharing - down load the latest PDF to stay informed!
The Buckman PTA recently established a PTA Scholarship fund to support families who cannot afford Buckman's full day kindergarten program. We are now asking for assistance raising money to fund this effort - interested donors can send a check to the Buckman PTA c/o Buckman at the address above, or contact PTA President Joyce Koenig.
Our deepest thanks go to Linh Trieu, graphic designer extraordinaire, who created Buckman's brand-new logo!
If you haven't seen Linh's work, please visit her web site at www.trieuberry.com.
Thank you, Linh!
(From the 10/29 CHEER)
SUN's Write Night was a success, and many thanks are due to the evening's organizers and volunteers. Special thanks go to local author and illustrator, Carolyn Conahan, for her visit.
It was really a joy to see the circle of budding young authors embrace her presentation with such enthusiasm.
Look for Carolyn's book, The Twelve Days of Christmas Dogs, and find those gopher fairies in The Discontented Gopher, the L. Frank Baum book which Carolyn illustrated, at your local bookstore and library.
Join us from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Nov. 14, when the PTA presents a guest speaker from Multnomah County Library School Corps. Titled «Safe Space: Social Networking for Parents, Educators & Caregivers,» this talk addresses internet safety for kids. Learn what kids are really using social networking sites like MySpace for and how you can educate them about being safe online.
The presentation is open to everyone (not just PTA members), in the Buckman cafetorium, and childcare will be provided.
The October 31st edition of the Buckman CHEER is full of treats, with no tricks included!
You'll find a recap of the very successful SUN Write Night, a whole array of upcoming dates to add to your calendar, and information about
the next PTA meeting, for starters.
