I appreciate all of our parents and students that attended our Principal’s Talk Story (Community Meeting #1) on November 11. We shared our STRIVE HI status and the development process for our academic plan for 2016-17 school year. We shared the expectations for math in the Common Core State Standards and a mini math workshop giving parents problem solving strategies that they could use at home. We will be having another Community meeting in January or February, more information will be forthcoming. Our winter recess will begin on Friday, December 18 through January 5. School will resume on Wednesday, January 6, 2016. The school’s office will remain open during winter recess from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, except on holidays. The second quarter and first semester will end on December 17, 2015. Your child’s 2 nd quarter report card will be sent home on January 27, 2016. I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of the Salt Lake Elementary School Ohana a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Please enjoy a safe and joyous holiday season. Sincerely, Duwayne F. Abe Principal.

This year Salt Lake Elementary PTA are excited to be partnering with a fun, free, and truly easy fundraiser called Shoparoo! Schools nationwide are already earning hundreds and even thousands every year through Shoparoo and it’s a great opportunity for us to really make a difference this year! Shoparoo is school fundraising made easy: the free app turns pictures of your everyday shopping receipts into cash donations and sweepstakes entries for our school! Yep, it’s that simple. No more cutting labels, selling door to door, or time-consuming coordinating. All you have to do is shop as you normally do, snap pictures of your receipts with the app, and voila Just shop, snap, earn! Get started today: 1. Download the free Shoparoo app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store 2. Select our school from the list and start taking pictures of your receipts - shop anywhere, buy anything! 3. The first 20 supporters at our school will earn an extra $1 donation from Shoparoo for their first receipt! 4. Earn even more Roo Points, or cash donations, by inviting others to join using your personal referral code 5. You can even select a grade to support and have fun with grade competitions! There’s no limit to how much money we can raise with Shoparoo - the more supporters, the more we will raise for our school. Schools with just 40 supporters are earning an average of $1,000 every year. That’s free, easy money that we could be fundraising too. Check out shoparoo.com to learn more about this awesome app! Thank you for your support!
