Good Day Lost Mountain Parents and Students!
Do you have abandoned knitting or crochet projects that you will never get around to finishing?! Well 6th grade art students are willing to take that yarn off of your hands. Don't let the knitting basket mock you with that unfinished project! We want to help! Please donate any unwanted yarn scraps to the 6th grade art students...we are going to make something great from it! Drop of yarn donations to Art Room 149, or place them in Julie Denison's mail box! Thanks for your support. (6th grade wants to thank you for being so yarn-tastic!) The PTSA Reflections contest deadline has been changed to October 19th, so there is still time to get your nominations in! Entry forms can be picked up in the media center or downloaded from my previous blog post.
Can't wait to see that wonderful artwork! Friday, October 2, 2015

Superior Plumbing and the Marietta Daily Journal (MDJ) have teamed up to give a local teacher, from Kindergarten to 12th grade, an iPad each week of the 2015-2016 school year. The first winner will be announced the week of October 1, 2015 and then consecutively each week through the end of May, 2016. Parents and students can go to http://mdj.secondstreetapp.com/2015_apple_teacher/ to nominate a teacher. Entries can also be submitted by visiting the MDJ online @ www.mdjonline.com and clicking on the “Apple for Teachers” icon on the right rail. The Marietta Daily Journal staff will select a winner from the nominations each week and present the iPad to the winner. A photo of the weekly winner with their students will appear in the Marietta Daily Journal print and online editions. The MDJ advises any CCSD staff who would like to participate, that they write a brief statement, 100 words or less, explaining why they think the person deserves to be one of The Marietta Daily Journal and Superior Plumbing’s “Apple for your Teacher” weekly winners. Questions can be directed to the MDJ in care of this email address: [email protected] . We have three on-line fundraisers set up to benefit our LMMS Rally efforts. Perhaps you might want to get some early holiday shopping done & support LMMS Rally Week. We may have one additional on-line campaign coming from another LMMS mom. In case anyone wonders, all of these were set up by someone affiliated with LMMS reaching out to me (not me seeking them out).
PLEASE feel free to share these links with friends/family! I can tell you that the Tupperware & Jamberry donation percentages are very high for charity “product” fundraising. Tupperware (Jennifer Ridgeway – former LMMS ILT & Drew Ridgeway’s mom/6th grade – we get 40% since it is a charity sale http://www.tupperware.com/b/10106844011?fundraiser=55f48ba16f49f728455e980a Jamberry (Jaime Williams – LMMS teacher) – 30% goes to Rally – You can also get a regular catalog from Jaime.
