WAY TO GO!
Firgrove has reached 109% of our United Way Goal for the year! So far we have brought in $2,550.00 to support the greater Pierce County area services. If you have been meaning to get your United Way Pledge form in, you still have time. Deadline to submit pledge is December 1st! Just put in in the red "Urgent" folder on Almai's office door.
GAME DRIVE!
Remember we are collecting new games to donate to the Puyallup Gift Makers! Questions? Ask Jackie!
WHAT IS UP WITH ALL THE CLEANING?
Well for those of you who are still wondering...Region 2 Principals and their office staff had an opportunity to attend a very powerful workshop sponsored by the Association of Washington State Principals titled "Breakthrough Coach". The basic idea is that it is easy to let the job overwhelm you, but by starting with some simple strategies that involve cleaning and yes...time management...a person can increase their effectiveness and not burn themselves out. =) Stay tuned....
Weather Watch...I know we've all heard that this winter is supposed to be a real bear. Be sure you have what you need at home such as extra food, water, batteries, flashlights. If you have been pondering the idea of purchasing a generator, this might be the time...Department of Emergency Management will be putting out information to the community on tips to prepare and see the winter through. As we get information we will pass it on for sure.
SAVE THE DATE~STAFF HOLIDAY PARTY AT THE KRAUSE'S!
Friday, December 10th 6:30 PM

If you can make it (and I hope you can) you may bring an appetizer, dessert and/or beverage of your choice!
Cheers!!
