In Mile Club news…
It’s been a long winter, but it's finally time for
the students to trade in their snow boots for their
walking shoes!
We're expecting the kids will be able to get back
on the track the week of 4/8. Hope for warm, dry
weather so we can keep adding up those miles
while getting more fit (we went over 1,000 miles
in the fall!).

We are a volunteer group of parents, teachers, staff and community members who provide basic material assistance  to Shoemaker students on an immediate, short-term basis. We are part of a "giving network" linked by phone and email activated when student needs are identified by the caring faculty and staff at Shoemaker. We provide resources such as: groceries, shoes, clothing, medicine, school supplies, toiletries, doctor's exams, special gifts and cash for specific needs. If you would like to volunteer to be a "giver", please email Stacey Slaski at staceynicholas@yahoo.com. If you or someone you know could benefit from the Angel Network's help, please contact Mrs Ringer at bringer@eastpennsd.org or 610-965-1626 ext 33008

1.Birthdays - Due to the increase in food sensitivity and allergies,we are no longer going to allow food birthday treats in our classrooms at Shoemaker. Knowing how important birthdays are to our students, we will continue to recognize student birthdays on our PTO monthly birthday board displayed in the hallway of the lobby area. Additionally, if you are interested, you may send in non-edible "treats" for your child's class on his or her birthday.

2, Celebrations - Other classroom celebrations, dates and healthy food items, will be arranged at the discretion of each classroom teacher. Please pay close attention to communication from your child's teacher regarding those special events.

Parents: We ask that you please park your car in a parking space if you will be at school for any extended period of time. Please do not block the drop off lane.We also kindlly ask that children  only get on and off buses at their assigned bus stop unless there is a bus pass. Thank You!

Attenton Parents: We need to collect 2 tons of paper per month! Did you know that you can recycle paper, newspapers, catalogs, magazines, junk mail, weekly advertisement circulars, TV Guides, folders, construction and poster paper, shredded paper, spiral notebook/theme books, office and school mail 24 hours a day 7 days a week at our school?  Did you also know that we earn money for paper that is dropped off at our school in the  green and yellow recycling bin?
