The first meeting of the Arbor Heights PTA will be held this
evening, September 18th, from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. The meeting will be held
in the lunchroom with child care (donations please) in the library and the
gym. You do not need to be a PTA member to attend. Everyone is welcome.
I hope to see you there.
Popcorn
The PTA has decided to change the price of popcorn from $.50 to
$.35 (same price as last year). Popcorn will be sold every Friday,
starting tomorrow, during the lunch period. If your child can bring the
correct change it's helpful.
Sally Foster
It's the last weekend for the Sally Foster Gift Wrap Sale. Don't
stop now - keep those orders rolling in! Remember, the Arbor Heights PTSA
receives 50% of each sale. Please check that all order forms are completed
correctly to avoid any delays. Checks for the gift wrap should be made
out to AHPTSA. All forms and collection envelopes are due by Friday,
September 26th. Need an extra catalog to take to work? Extra catalogs
and order forms are available in the office. Thank you all for your
support! Tish Hesse, Fund Raising Chairperson - 932-1776.
Up, Up and Away
Last year our students were asked to take part in a program
sponsored by NASA (National Aeronautic Space Administration). Our
students all signed a poster which will be sent into outer space in the
space shuttle Atlantis. When it returns, our poster will be sent back to
us. The launch is scheduled for September 25, 1997 at 10:34 p.m. You
might want to follow the mission in the media.
Dogs are nice, but...
There have been quite a few dogs on our playground recently. Some
are running loose and some are on a leash with their owners. Some of our
younger children are nervous around the animals and I'm afraid that if the
dogs sense this they might bite. Please keep your dog at home when you
visit the playground. Thank you.
Arbor Heights Home Page
We have a wonderful home page on the World Wide Web. It has
received a great deal of notice around the country. Mark Ahlness, one of
our 3rd grade teachers, is the person who set it up and he maintains it.
The address is at the top of this bulletin. Look us up the next time you
get the opportunity.

Activity Survey
Our staff is in the process of deciding which activities we should
offer this year to children and families. Please put a check next to all
of the activities below that your child or your family would take part in
on a regular basis. Please return this survey by Tuesday, September 23rd.
____ After School Sports - One night per week K-5 students would participate in sport and recreational activities.
____ Homework Club - One night per week students would receive help with their homework and would participate in math, reading and writing games and activities.
____ Chess Club - One night per week K-5 students would learn to play chess and engage in matches with one another.
____ Choir - One morning per week grade 3 - 5 students would meet with Ms. Bailey for choir practice.
____ Evening Computers - One or two nights each week our computer lab would be open for adult, family and community use.
We don't have the dollars to fund all of these, so we want to see where your interests are. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Carl Leatherman
Principal
