Dear Wolverine Families,
Progress reports come home this Friday, and conferences are happening next week. Please make sure you’ve connected with your child’s teacher to book a time to meet.
Our Spirit Wear bulk order went live today – ordering though School Cash Online will bypass shipping fees as we will have all items ordered and delivered to the school. If you’d like to purchase items not included on our bulk order you are welcome to do so at https://harrietttoddpublicschool.entripyshops.com/. The bulk order is open until November 14th. Everybody’s talking ‘bout our Spirit Wear – get your Spirit Wear on!
Continuing with our clothing theme – we are accepting donations of winter coats, snow pants, boots, mitts and hats this week. If your child has outgrown their gear and you’re able to donate, we appreciate you dropping items off at the office between 8:30 and 4pm.
Next week we are hosting a Wolverine Outfitters ‘Pop Up Shop’ in our front foyer. Come by to browse winter gear before the snow comes – open 8:30-4pm Monday to Thursday (Nov 10-13), and Friday (Nov 14) 8:30-12:00pm.
And, as you are cleaning out closets and switching from summer/fall to winter gear, bring any of your unwanted textile items to the school for our next Kidney Clothes collection. Textiles will be collected Nov 17-24. (See flyer below for more information).
