Classroom Parent Meeting
  Tuesday, April 14th is the next mandatory meeting.  It is a classroom meeting.  Please contact the office to book childcare.
 

Family Pictures
  Carol is still looking for pictures of your child with his family engaged in an activity for our gala, examples, Disney, Sea World, Universal, beach, church on a picnic, etc.  These will be used for the gala video presentation.   Please e-mail them to Carol at ctucker@princeton-house.org or give her a CD or actual pictures that we can scan. 
 

Budget Cuts
  As you have all heard Orange County Public Schools will be experiencing a $240,000,000.00 deficit in next years budget.  We are already being told to expect 15% cut in our overall budget next year. 
  PLEASE support our Gala!  In order to provide the same services that we currently provide, we must have 100% participation from you, our parents. 

Gala Update
  We currently have 50 silent auction items.  Way to go!  We are not doing so well in the sale of raffle tickets.  Please be diligent selling your tickets.  This is an easy way to make money for Princeton House.
  Our ticket sales and sponsorships are off to a very low start.  We know everyone is in a financial bind, however, we need to raise over $100,000 to continue offering the awesome extras we give to your children on a daily basis.
  Please help us help your children!
