Thanks, ACE!
We’re grateful to our friends at ACE Scholarships for the attractive new banner for our school, but we’re most grateful for the $32,000 provided to help 13 students attend Petra this year. Thanks, ACE!
Spell-a-thon Begins!
Our annual Spell-a-thon has officially begun, so each week, we’ll feature one of our elementary classes to remind us (this week, it’s Mrs. Miller’s Kindergarten class). Contact your favorite Petra elementary student to support his or her spelling efforts on behalf of our school. For more details about Spell-a-thon (including what the fundraising goes to help support), read Mr. Denison’s Spell-a-thon post.
Follow-Up Friday, 9/28
This Friday, September 28, is the official end of the first month of school. How’s it going? To catch us up and let us know how Petra can better help you and your student(s) succeed, Mr. Dunham invites you to join him and Board Chair Sarah Storebo for “Follow-Up Friday,” beginning at 8:40 a.m. this Friday morning in the Cafeteria. Mr. Dunham will present a brief 10-minute homework workshop with ideas to help at home, and the rest of the time will be yours to ask questions, share observations, and connect. There will be fresh coffee brewing, so come and go as you are able. We’ll start at 8:40 a.m. and shoot to be finished by 9:30 a.m. unless folks want to stay longer.
