Purple Day is March 11.

The Shorecrest school community will wear purple on March 11 to raise awareness of the need to find a cure for cancer.

Relay for Life is on March 26. I am on team "Green Eyes" and I am trying to raise money to help find a cure. I hope to see you there.

Just a reminder that tomorrow is the Oldie Goldie book sale and the students will be able to purchase books to add to their home collections. It your child would like to buy some books, $5 is a good amount to send in. This amount will go a long way.

I also thank you for your book donations. This is what makes Oldie Goldie successful. Have fun reading with your children.
