Leadership Council:

We have numerous committees working simultaneously on a variety of events. 

Buddy Program - Apri 29 next meeting date during mentoring our leaders join with 2-4 graders to work on a special project. 

Teacher Appreciation Week - May 6-10th. This committee is developing new ways to show our teachers how much we appreciate them. 

7th Annual Plant Sale - May 8 plants will be delivered. Order forms will be available next week. 8th-grade parents be on the lookout for the 8th-grade spotlight plant. This was something new we did in connection with the dance. It was a huge success so we are repeating it this year. Proceeds from the sale will go towards our Craig Community Day on June 12. 

8th grade spotlight plants- 

Last year thanks to Beth DiBello we began a new tradition for the dance. 8th-grade families can purchase a “spotlight plant”.   The spotlight plants line the entrance to our dance and have signs that we print from your order form. It is a wonderful way to begin the dance, reading the spotlight signs. Last year we had 100% participation. If you would like to participate click on the link below, locate your child, then complete the form. Send your $25  check made out to The Craig School or cash for the spotlight plant. Please mark it attention, Laura Given. If you have any questions email, lgiven@craigschool.org

 8th Grade Plant Spotlight

7th/8th Grade School Dance-  May 10 Thank you to the parents who stepped up to Chair and help with the spotlight plants. Another shout-out to Ms. Kutcher who when asked to help with decorations never hesitated and said YES!  It will be another incredible night. The theme is a Night at the Grammy’s so all types of dress apply. You can dress up as much as you want or dress as your favorite grunge rocker. Invites were sent this week so look at VIP folders.  We will need help decorating the during the morning of the 10th  and gathering some supplies so be on the lookout for a Sign-Up Genius. 

Friday, May 10 from 7-9 at The Craig School. will be a night to remember! 

Buddy Program - May 20 Last day of this year-long program. We will have a fun outdoor event to commemorate friendships made and our good times throughout the year. 

Red Nose Day-   May 23 This newly formed committee will begin meeting next week. Our focus is finding a non-profit we want to support, and then building lessons and a meaningful day of learning. The day ends with a student-run carnival. 

Anything But a Backpack - Spirit Day - May 31 - This is our last spirit day of the year. The committee ran this spirit day the previous year and it is back by popular demand. Stay tuned for the rules of engagement!

Community Day - June 12 We partnered last year with PACS to develop this day. It was a huge success. The plans for this year are still in their infancy. Stay tuned as we continue to plan. 

Our peer leaders continue to push into classes and work once a week successfully with their classes, This was the largest peer support group we ever had. I had more leaders who wanted to participate but unfortunately, their schedules simply didn't align with the classes requesting their services.
