School Council Meeting June 5 — Live & In Person!

Join us June 5 in the Learning Commons following Parent Coffee (approx. 9:15am start) for the final School Council meeting of the year. We’ll be chatting about next year’s priorities, volunteer opportunities, and yes, also getting down to our usual Council business.

Thinking about getting involved? Don’t worry! Casually attending a meeting does not automatically place you in charge of a fundraiser. We. Um. Promise. 🙂

June Survival Mode: Let Someone Else Make Lunch

It’s almost June. Everyone is tired. Permission granted to stop pretending you want to make lunches every morning.

FunLunch is here to help carry us all across the finish line while also raising funds that support resources and opportunities for Connect students. Honestly, this feels like the kind of multitasking we can all get behind.

Still time to order:

• Panago — June 5
• Edo Japan — June 9
• Jelly Modern Doughnuts — June 12
• Boston Pizza — June 16
• Brooklyn Dumpling Shop — June 18
• Subway — June 23
• Texas Donuts — Special (and Final!) Fun Lunch of the Year — June 24   (This one closes early so place your order at least 10 days in advance.)

Visit your Healthy Hunger account to place orders. Please remember to cancel lunch orders 5 days in advance if your student is away at camp. Questions? Email [email protected].

 

Your Recycling Could Be Funding School Stuff Right Now

Got bottles piling up in the garage, mudroom, laundry room, trunk of your car, or that one mysterious corner of the house? Excellent news: Skip the Depot will pick them up for you, and your recycling can help support Connect Charter School at the same time.

So far, Connect families have helped raise over $2,000 just by getting rid of empties. Frankly, that’s impressive.

When booking your pickup, don’t forget to label your bags with our Connect School Code: XZ8L
