Sparta Schools lead Toys for Tots School Campaign

Right now it appears that Sparta Schools are leaving all others in the dust with their Toys for Tots collection. As of today, they have collected 1302 toys for less fortunate children in our areas.

I spoke with Kim in the Principal's office and asked her if there was an incentive, with the large abundance of toys they have collected to date and she said Sparta School students have always given their all during the Toys for Tots campaign. The only thing she could think of was that the reward for kids collecting the most for their class, is that they are rewarded with hot chocolate and donuts. Well deserved reward for such good deeds.

Parents:

Thank you for the outstanding attendance at Parent-Teacher Conferences. Over 76% of our students had a parent attend conferences on their behalf. You are a vital component of a successful student experience for your children, and your attendance at Conferences is just one of many ways that you demonstrate your support.

We have begun using the Daily Bulletin feature in PowerSchool. It is located on the left-hand menu once you log in. Please click on this to see announcements from the school.

We will be holding a Middle College parent meeting in the PAC here at the high school on Monday, December 17, 2012, at 6:00 p.m. I would encourage parents of sophomores (or other grade level students) who are interested in learning more about the Middle College program to attend.

As always, let me know if you have any questions. Have a great day-

Submitted by AlpineTownship on Wednesday, October 24th, 8:37 am

Students at Kenowa Hills High School who have been involved in community service projects voted today to affilliate with Interact, Rotary International's service club for young people 14-18. The club is sponsored by the Comstock Park Rotary which will offer support and guidance.
