HOLIDAY GIFT SHOP

Hi everyone!

Holiday Gift Shop is next Wednesday, Dec 17. I still need quite a few Santa's Helpers for that. If you can help out, please contact me at rlhut@sbcglobal.net or 616-970-0679. The envelopes will go home in backpacks Mon. Dec 15.

Also, if you ORDERED COOKIE DOUGH, you can pick it up after school this Thursday Dec. 11.

In the trenches

It ain't pretty, but it does the job!! I am, of course, referring to the periodic head checks for lice that Northshore PTA performs. One will take place tomorrow, Monday Dec. 1 if enough volunteers can help. This check is done after every extended break to keep lice cases to a minimum at Lake Hills school. The next check will be Monday January 5. If you can assist with this one, your help would be greatly appreciated. Lice can affect any child and it is a lot of work to eradicate, so prevention is the best way. Prevention requires the help of volunteers. Please mark your calendars to help with this very important PTA function.

Christmas Reminders:

T-shirts and Cookie Dough order forms are due DEC 1ST!!

Holiday Gift Shop will be held Wednesday, December 17. For those new to our school family, this event allows children to shop for gifts for the special people (and pets!) in their lives all on their own. An envelope is sent home so that parents can help the kids decide who to buy for and how much to spend. Parents put money in the envelope and the kids come home with gifts already wrapped for extra secrecy!! At this point, Santa's schedule still looks like he will be able to make it for pictures that day, too! We would love to have plenty of happy elf-parents available to assist the shoppers, so if you can help out for part or all of the day, contact Becky Huttenga at 616.970.0679 or rlhut@sbcglobal.net.

Happy Thanksgiving to All!

THE PTA FOOD DRIVE provided many local families with Thanksgiving baskets this year. The Spring Lake Township and Ferrysburg Fire Departments along with Ottawa County Sheriff helped distribute nearly 60 food baskets.

Happy Halloween

Greetings everyone!
Northshore PTA wishes the school family a safe and outrageously fun Halloween.
Don't forget to GET OUT THE VOTE on Tuesday! It is your responsibility as much as your right.
