Don’t forget that ALL students need to pass off at least one September poem and turn in a Great Brain Report by Wednesday, Sept. 30th.  Thanks for all the hard work!!!

Just to give you all a heads up, the SEP Parent/Teacher Conference meetings will be held this Thursday, Sept. 24th, but I have a wedding to attend.  Therefore I will not be here to meet on this Thursday evening.  If you would like to meet with me about your child, we can arrange a meeting at another time.  Thanks so much for being flexible with my schedule.  Have a great Monday! 🙂

Christmas Family Portrait Event
is back at Quest!
What is it?
It is a fundraiser put on by the Technology Department to earn money for STEM Clubs this year! For example, we are going to participate in Lego Robotic Competitions, Cyberpatriot ones and more!
How does it work?
We have invited Toni J Studios back to our school! She is an award winning photographer and has been a photographer for over 20 years. Sitting Fees can cost anywhere from $50-$300 depending on where and who takes your picture right? Well, Toni J is only going to only charge $25 for her sitting fee for us, and guess what???? She is going to donate the FULL $25 to Quest Academy! She is willing to take all of our portraits for FREE those three nights and give us that money. She is also going to donate a percentage of the portrait sales to us!!! This fundraiser is so AWESOME because we do not have to put any money out. It is straight profit for us!
Step 1. Please print the ticket (or check your child’s back pack, one should be coming home tonight) fill out the ticket and return it to the office with your child’s name and the $25 (you can put it in an envelope and your child’s teacher will give it to the office) – please write your checks out to Quest Academy. Next, call the number on the ticket and book your appt. (October 1,2 or 3) Please do this before Sept. 25th so we can get an idea on how many time slots we need those nights :).

Step 2. Come and get your Family Portrait taken on the date you booked. They will be doing them in the Q1 gym.

Step 3. Toni J and staff will come back to Quest and you will come in to proof your portraits and order your prints. These prints are HIGH quality and will be retouched. The packages run from $89 -$259 and we promise you will be happy. You can ask any of us that have used her in our past fundraisers. She has unique Christmas Cards for you to order and all of your portraits will be ready in time to deliver for Christmas gifts!!!

As easy as that right?

Look at your family portrait at home and ask yourself if it is time to update it and help Quest be able to start some engaging clubs for your children ALL at the same time! It’s the perfect time of year to do it and for a great cause.

The Technology Department is going to provide a Pizza Party for the class that sells the most Sitting Fee’s. Remember, to share this with your extended family as well, it is not only for Students at Quest.

Thank you in advance! We have a slideshow up in Q1 with some samples, we also have some samples in the Q1 Mac Lab and some images on FB if you haven’t checked them out yet!

I promised the kids I’d put their usernames and passwords on the blog tonight.  I couldn’t change usernames, but everyone’s password is “rams”.  Students can get to Prodigy on my blog-right side under math links or they can go to www.prodigygame.com

We have been using this rounding chart in class.  I thought it would be a great resource to use at home with homework.  Feel free to print this chart off to use and keep at home.

Reminder that all students need to pass off at least ONE September poem for a grade.  I
sent a hard copy of the poems home today.  Students need to be able to recite this one poem in front of the class. They will have an opportunity everyday to pass this poem off.

Also, each student must complete one Great Brain Report and return it to school before the last day of the month.  Just a reminder that the students must read the report to the class, so they need to practice reading it.
