SOUTHEAST WARREN PRIMARY
Creating Opportunities for a Lifetime!

November 13, 2009

Thanks to the PIE volunteers who manned our fall fundraiser pickup on Monday afternoon. Thanks also to all of the parents and students who participated in this, one of our biggest fundraisers of the school year. We appreciate your generosity! Thanks to our veterans who attended Wednesday’s program.

Small Town Country Christmas and our annual cookie walk are quickly approaching. In tonight’s backpack you will find the cookie walk and basket raffle ticket sales volunteer sign up form and the cookie donation form. Please consider carefully how you can help us out. The cookie walk and basket raffles require many, many donations of cookies and raffle items, as well as a good number of people to prepare trays, set up the tables, replenish the trays, sell the items, and then clean up afterwards. As in the past, any unsold cookies after Small Town Country Christmas will be served to the children and our guests at the elementary Christmas concert on December 7th.

Also in the backpack, you will find a form for you to record Casey donut and/or pizza card sales that you and/or your child make by December 3rd, the end of that sale. The Casey punch cards are a great deal! I purchased my first delicious dozen cake doughnuts and paid only $3.49 with my punch card this week at our local Casey’s. That’s a savings of $2.50 per dozen. My husband and I couldn’t eat a whole dozen at one time, so I kept the remaining ones fresh by freezing them in individual freezer bags. And what family wouldn’t benefit from the opportunity to purchase ten easy hot meals that just about everyone loves when cooking time is limited? The savings with the pizza punch card is $10.49 for each purchase of a large specialty pizza and a medium single topping pizza. Remember, you are allowed to make ten separate purchases with those same savings with each card you purchase! What a great way to support not only our school, but also one of our most viable local businesses!

As you probably have already heard, a terrible accident has forever affected a local family. Brayden Dittmer is the 4 ½ year old son of Justin & Deanna Dittmer and brother of Shea, kindergartner in our building. Brayden lost his leg in a farming accident last weekend. Please consider showing your support of the family by donating to one of the several containers that have been placed at local businesses throughout the community. There has been an account set up in Brayden’s name at Wells Fargo Bank. Contributions can be made to the Brayden Dittmer Benefit Fund. There will be a Benefit Dinner & Auction for Brayden on January 30, 2010, at the SEW high school. For more information, call Kristi Storm at 641-414-4267 or 641-942-6320.
