As your Holiday shopping increases, please consider signing up for Smith's new Earn and Learn program!

Smith's has recently redone their Earn and Learn Donation Program so, if you were previously signed up, you will need to re-register in order for Bates to be your charity of choice.  Smith's donations are used to provide additional classroom aide support and supplies throughout the school. We previously had over 500 families registered with Smith's and we are now down to 30, so we really need your help with this.

Just a reminder that tomorrow is Dollars for Donuts in our coin collection to help families in need. For every dollar a student brings in, they receive a bite-size donut. Bring in $5 and they get a pack of donuts!  Donuts will be distributed at lunchtime.

Help us bring some holiday happiness to families that could use a little help!

Thank you for your generosity!

Sincerely,

Ms. Wright
