Con Gratitud, Mrs. Barochin
Staff Changes and Updates As mentioned in last week’s memo, we currently have two staff members expecting to deliver children who have scheduled maternity leave – Mrs. Wazoua, our 6th Grade English Teacher and Mrs. Pitts, our 6th – 8th Art Teacher. As a result, we have hired Mrs. Gayle Malvern for the rest of the year Mrs. Malvern will cover for Mrs. Wazoua from November until mid‐January. She will then cover Mrs. Pitts from February until April. Some of you have asked for her contact information and her expertise. Mrs. Malvern is currently a consultant for the school district, taught for over 10 years, and has been a substitute with Infinity for the past 2 years. Mrs. Malvern can be reached at
[email protected]. You can meet her at Report Card Night. As you know, Mrs. Johnson, one of our two technology teachers, is no longer with us due to a family emergency. We are still actively interviewing for a replacement. In the interim, we have a long term substitute, Mr. Trey Hunter, who has agreed to fill the vacancy. He was a substitute for us this past week, and I am confident he will do a good job. Library Fundraiser and Book Fair – Coffee Dollars for Scholars Do you like coffee as much as me? For the price of a cup of coffee, you can donate anywhere from $1.00 to $5.00 or more to your scholar’s library. Currently, middle school does not use the school library because we have very few middle school books. Our dream is to allow scholars to visit the library every week. How can you help? 1. Donate $1.00 ‐ $5.00 on GoFundMe. Our website is: https://www.gofundme.com/infinitylibrary 2. Visit the Book Fair. All scholars will have the opportunity to visit the fair to identify a wish list and then return later to buy a book. All proceeds will go toward building our school library. 3. Advertise our GoFundMe. Share the link with your friends, family, and co‐workers. If you have a fundraiser idea, please e‐mail Mrs. Barochin at
[email protected]
Los cambios de personal Como se mencionó en las notas de la semana pasada, actualmente tenemos dos miembros del personal esperando bebes, que han programado permiso de maternidad - Sra. Wazoua, Maestra de Inglés del 6to Grado y la Señora Pitts, maestra de arte del 8º grado. Como resultado, hemos contratado a la Señora Gayle Malvern, quien tiene más de 10 años de experiencia en la enseñanza. La Señora Malvern cubrirá la señora Wazoua desde noviembre hasta mediados de enero. Ella entonces cubrirá la Señora Pitts de febrero a abril. La señora Malvern, actualmente es consultora para el distrito escolar, a dado clases por más de 10 años, y es una sustituta en Infinity. La señora Malvern puede ser contactada a
[email protected]. Puede conocerla durante “Noche de Calificaciones”. Como ya saben, la señora Johnson, una de nuestros profesores de tecnología, ya no está con nosotros, debido a una emergencia familiar. Todavía estamos entrevistando activamente para un reemplazo. Mientras tanto, tenemos un sustituto de largo plazo, el Sr. Trey Hunter, se ha comprometido a cubrir esta clase de tecnología. Estoy segura de que hará un buen trabajo. Recaudador de fondos de la biblioteca y la Feria del Libro - Dólar de café para Académicos ¿Te gusta el café tanto como a mí? Por el precio de una taza de café, puede donar $1.00 a $ 5.00 o más a la biblioteca de su escolar. Actualmente, la escuela secundaria no utiliza la biblioteca de la escuela porque tenemos muy pocos libros para la secundaria. Nuestro sueño es permitir a los escolares, visitar la biblioteca cada semana. ¿Cómo puedes ayudar? 1. Dona $ 1.00 - $ 5.00 en GoFundMe. Nuestra página web es: https://www.gofundme.com/infinitylibrary 2. Visita la Feria de Libros. Todos los escolares tendrán la oportunidad de visitar la feria para identificar una lista de deseos y luego regresar para compra libros. Todos los ingresos irán hacia la construcción de nuestra biblioteca de la escuela. 3. Anunciarse nuestro GoFundMe. Compartir el enlace con sus amigos, familiares y compañeros de trabajo. Si usted tiene una idea de recaudación de fondos, envíe un correo electrónico a la Sra. Barochin
