2017 Breast Cancer T-Shirt Order Form
The Introduction to Theatre and Communications classes enjoyed spending time with visitors from Autumn Pointe. The Theatre students did a great job presenting a dramatic reading of the “Spider and the Fly” by Mary Howitt and entertaining the Autumn Pointe residents with some theater games. The Communications students sharpened their presenting, conversing, and listening skills with more personal interactions with the residents. A wonderful time was had by all!

Preschool took a field trip to Super Bee Orchard in Fort Calhoun. They had a great time picking different types of apples. The preschoolers also got to check out how the apples are cleaned, sorted and stored. While visiting the orchard, they got to walk inside the refrigerator where the apples are kept. It was a perfect day for apple picking!!

This year in lieu of our Magazine Drive, the PFE is hosting a Walk-A-Thon as our main fundraiser. Money from this fundraiser will be used to improve the school for our children (technology needs, etc). ALL the money raised from the Walk-A-Thon will return to the school, unlike in past years where a large percentage went back to the company that ran the Magazine Drive.
We will be collecting donations for 3 consecutive WEDNESDAYS in September (9/13, 9/20, and 9/27). Please use the form below if you are submitting cash or checks. If your sponsors wish to pay by CREDIT CARD, direct them to our Walk-A-Thon site…………….
