options
available to
us for
investing in
our

knowledge
and

of our

Don't worry
about the
kids . . .
we're
planning a

Mom's Day
Out,
at Vermont
Street
Methodist
Church, is
for children
ages 6 weeks
to 5 years.
Children can
attend one
or two
mornings
each week
for
consistent
child care.
The daily
fee is
$10.00. You
can call
222-6586 or
223-6718 for
more
information.
This is a
great
solution to
volunteer in
your child's
classroom or
the library
if you have
younger
children.
Ellington School
is recycling ink
cartridges,
empty toner
containers and
cell phones.
If you have a
place for a
collection box
at your office,
please call the
school office
for assistance
in the easy
collection
process. We
recently
received a check
for $425.00 that
will be used
towards
supplies. LET'S
KEEP RECYCLING!
Thank you for
saving BoxTops$
for Education!!!
Ellington PTA
just received a
check for $425
from the Fall
Collection! What
a great and easy
way to raise
money to support
our school.
Keep saving
because we will
be collecting
them again on
March 15th. We
will again have
a contest to see
which classes
collect the
most. Remember,
each is worth
$.10. Also,
save your HyVee
brand UPC/Barcodes.
They are each
worth $.05. We
will collect the
BoxTops/UPC's
and return the
baggie for you
to continue to
collect
throughout the
summer. The
more we collect,
the more can we
earn!
Birthday
Book Club
is actively
adding books to
our library.
This is now it
works. . .during
the month of
your child's
birthday, you
will receive a
letter with
info. You can
choose to donate
either $5 or $10
(generally the
cost of a
paperback or
hardcover
book.) After
the donation,
your child will
select the book
which is
purchased for
the Ellington
Library and a
bookplate with
his/her name
will be placed
on the inside
the cover. Your
child will then
get to choose a
donated toy
animal. This
animal is a gift
for your child.
This is a
generous way to
support the
library and for
your child to be
recognized for
years to come.
