FINAL BOXTOPS COLLECTION

Please send your General Mills Box Tops for Education, Campbell's Labels for Education and Tyson Project A+ panels to school with your child in a ziplock bag labeled with student's name and teacher's name. Don't forget to continue saving your box tops over the summer.
SR KINDERGARTEN RECOGNITION
Monday, May 12, 8:30am
SR KINDERGARTEN PARENTS, mark your calendars now. The annual SK Recognition will be Monday, May 12, 8:30am, in the Leawood gym. Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and other special friends are invited.
KROGER CARDS STILL AVAILABLE
BCS Leawood just received a check for $300 because many of you bought a Kroger card from our school and used it for your purchases. Thank you so much! We will use our proceeds to help purchase needed classroom materials.
WE HAVE MORE CARDS AVAILABLE. Each card is pre-loaded with $5.00 and can be re-loaded at any Kroger store as often as you like and with as much money as you like. This truly costs you nothing and benefits our school. If you would like to purchase more Kroger cards for yourself or for family or friends who shop at Kroger, click on the Kroger Cards link below, print the order form (also being sent home in the Wednesday Runner) and send it with your student with exact cash or check payable to BCS. Your Kroger card(s) will be sent home in an envelope with your child. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
FINAL COUNTDOWN!
Can you believe it? The 2007-08 school year is almost over! Parents, please remember that the last three days (May 20, 21 & 22) are half-days. There will be no lunches served or Briarcare offered on these half-days.
The last day of school (May 22) will be our End-of-Year Carnival, and students will be dismissed with their parents from the Carnival. We must ask, for safety reasons, that at least one parent be present at the Carnival with each Pre-K and Jr-K student.

IMPORTANT REMINDER FROM THE ADMISSIONS OFFICE
If you have children who will be applying as new students for the 2008-09 school year and have not turned in an application, please remember to send the application in ASAP. You may go to the website and complete the online application. Admissions testing for Pre-K -- 4th Grade begins in January. Anyone applying for 5th - 12th Grades will need to register to take the ISEE for their entrance exam.
Re-enrollment packets for the 2008-09 school year were mailed on January 4, 2008, and were due by Friday, Febuary 1. On Friday, February 15, enrollment contracts were mailed to new Briarcrest families. If you know that your family will not be returning next year, please inform our office promptly. We greatly appreciate your attention to these details.
If you have friends who have expressed interest in applying to Briarcrest, please have them contact the Admissions Office, 765-4654.
ANNUAL FUND
Our 2007-08 Annual Fund is going on right now.
Donations may be made by check payable to Briarcrest (please note "Annual Fund" on the memo line). You can send your donation to school with your child, drop it off at the school office, or mail it to the Central Office at 6000 Briarcrest Avenue, Memphis, TN 38120. Be watching, also, for the Annual Fund On-line Auction in November.
Note from the principal: I wanted you to know how Leawood plans to use donations to the Annual Fund:
(1) Purchase 2 LCD projectors and carts to allow mobility to all classrooms.
(2) Purchase science equipment for all grades.
(3) Purchase additional musical instruments for all music classes.
(4) Allow teachers to purchase supplementary materials and equipment for all classes.
I estimate that the above expenses would be approximately $6000. ANY CONTRIBUTIONS ARE SO APPRECIATED!!!!
FRIDAY T-SHIRTS
Friday Spirit Shirts are still available. In addition to the short-sleeve shirts, long-sleeve shirts are now available for $15 in black and white only (Please specify on your order form "long-sleeve").
