Your input is the best way to tell us how well your school is partnering with you and promoting your involvement in your childs education. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR VOICE IS HEARD! Its Easy to Get Involved! Look for the paper survey, which will be mailed to you in early April 2014. Simply fill it out and return it in the postage-paid envelope or complete the survey online, if you prefer. Look for details in your survey packet. For more information visit: www.mdparentsurvey.com or contact Nancy Feeley at (410) 767-0738; by email at: nfeeley@msde.state.md.us. SPRING SWAPFRIDAY, APRIL 11 It's time to clean out your closets and bring those outgrown or no longer used items to the spring swap. The swap will be held in the sanctuary immediately after school on Friday, April 11. You can drop off your swap stuff that morning when you drop off your children for school. Please leave bags in the front rows of the pews in the sanctuary for volunteers to sort and set up during the day. What can be included in the swap? Clothing, accessories, books, toys, art supplies, small household items. Items must be small enough to fit in a paper grocery bag, clean, and in good, working condition. Even if you dont bring items to drop off, please feel free to shop the swap. There are usually plenty of items, and the more you take, the less we have to haul to Goodwill afterward. If you have questions or would like to volunteer to help set up and/or clean up, please contact Jenny Woodall at jennywoodall@gmail.com.

COMMUNITY CUP COFFEE ORDERS DUE TOMORROW Hi everyone, I wanted to update you on the status of the Community Cup coffee fundraiser with Dublin Roasters. Two things: 1. All money raised will go to MMCI effective January 2014. It no longer goes to the SAF at MVM. There are several benefits to funneling money through MMCI, so I encourage you to continue to purchase the coffee and raise the money for MMCI. 2. All orders must go through a group order (I coordinate) for us to get credit. It was too complicated for DR to keep track of call ins, walk ins and internet orders. So as a result, I am willing to place monthly orders where I deliver orders, checks and coffee back to you. We have raised over $700 to date and there's no reason we can't keep that momentum going, so please considering ordering your organic fair trade coffee through us.
I will open the group order period from now until Friday, April 11th. We will work on updating forms so they reflect current fundraiser parameters. Don't forget checks should be made payable to Dublin Roasters. The price remains $14 for a full pound bag and $5 goes to MMCI.
We will make forms available at school outside the office and the link will be pr ovided online. Then it's as simple as you filling out forms and turning them in, with full payment, to me so I can help fulfill you order. Thank you for your past and future participation in this fundraiser!!
MVMPCS students and families will be organizing a team to help clean up Market Street and downtown Frederick. MVMPCS will be caring for the 4th-6th Street blocks of Market Street! Sign up details coming soon....
