Gala Update
Since the letter going out earlier this week, the parents have
started to rally! We now have over $42,000 in sponsorships and
over $5000 in donations and ticket sales. We need every
family participating to make this a success. Please purchase
your tickets and sponsorships before the deadline, Friday, March
12th. Less than 25% of families have participated so far.
We really, really, really need your help!
Don't forget you can purchase your tickets or sponsorships at our
website,
www.princeton-house.org and go to our fundraiser page.
Volunteers needed
We need at least 16 more parent volunteers for the night of the Gala.
We are looking for 6 people to be "runners" from 9:30PM to 11:30PM
and 10 people to be "silent auction monitors" for one hour blocks
between 6:30PM-11:30PM. If you are able to help, please e-mail

If you are volunteering and planning on entering the ballroom or eating

Student of the Month
Adam Bahraoui is a very happy, outgoing 6 year old boy who loves
going to to school at Princeton House Charter School. He
always speaks of his teachers with such affection and respect and is
constantly referencing them to his family during "together time".
He lives with his mother, step-dad and his 14 year old brother,
Alex.
Adam often mentions his school mates and loves to tell stories about each
of them from day to day. He is blossoming into a wonderful boy
and enjoys learning new things. An avid sports enthusiast, he
has a remarkable gift of memorizing his favorite sports teams
players and certain statistics each of them have compiled.
He has recently mastered the threading of all sizes of beads onto string
and will sit for hours completing one project after another.
He worked on this for months before developing the hand/eye
coordination necessary to complete the difficult task. His
favorite TV shows include Barney and Elmo.
Tardy Policy
Beginning March 1st we are only allowing one parent and child at a
time into
the office to sign in late. The confusion with many parents
and children in the office is very disruptive and many students
become overwhelmed. Please wait outside the door until the
parent ahead of you has left.
Please make the transition to school easier on your child and the other
students in the classroom by having your child at school on or
before 8:00AM
X-Games
PHCS has a committee working hard to make X-Games fun for everyone
this year! They will be held on March 25th starting at 8:30AM.
If you would like to volunteer to help that day, contact your office
and let them know.
Keep us updated
Please make sure you contact the office and give us new phone
numbers, e-mails and/or addresses. We need to be able to reach
you in case of an emergency.
Board of Directors Meeting
Our next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, March 25th at 9:00AM at
the Elementary Campus. These meeting are opened to the public
and everyone is invited to attend.
