Beth's Class

Dear Parents,

Our year has started off great at our wonderful school! Trillium In Bloom is less than two weeks away! Campouts and sleep-unders are happening! There is beautiful new artwork hanging all over the school! Enthusiasm and energy are in the air!

Our community is also dealing with the day to day stresses of parenting (see more below) as well as a severe budget deficit this year that has affected us right down to the day to day basics, specifically Copy Paper. Our school uses 12-16 cases of Copy Paper per month and each case costs about $20-25.

Stephanie Hinkle, our Director, has asked the Liaisons to coordinate a monthly "Copy Paper Donation". Specifically, Stephanie has asked that each of our 16 advisings in our school donate ONE CASE of copy paper per month and would prefer that we donate the actual case of copy paper rather than the money.

We are asking each family in our class to donate one case of copy paper this school year or to chip in with another family to donate one case. We have October - June, which is 9 months, so we need to donate 9 cases
If you can donate, please just bring a case in and let Beth know you have donated.
If you want to do a chip-in with another family we can put a sign up sheet out to match folks or just match yourselves up and let us know who's gone in together when you drop off the paper. Thank you for helping with this very important daily need for our school!

Stephanie is also seeking information about what kind of support groups parents want and need to help them in their daily lives. What would help you? A support group about teenage angst? A support group to help girls build self-confidence? A support group to understand your sons? Whatever ideas you have about support groups our school could offer, again, please email me, your Liaison, or talk to me in person, and I will get this information back to Stephanie. If you prefer, you can also contact her directly stephanie@trilliumcharterschool.org and let her know your ideas!

Thank you so much for your support and help. Please let us know if we can answer any questions.
Best regards,
Marion and Juli
