POQA has decided to change Friday to not just spirit shirt day for those who have Quest Academy spirit shirts, but to any team shirt day. If your child does not have a Quest Acadmy spirit shirt they may wear a team shirt.
 

Fundraising Baskets for Clubs

This year Quest wanted to provide our students with additional learning opportunities by providing clubs and STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) activities. We unfortunately did not have unlimited funds and were limited with the number of students who could participate.  In the future, we would like to offer additional club opportunities for everyone to enjoy.  POQA has taken on the task of raising money and has chosen not to sell cookie dough or gift wrap but to provide an opportunity to showcase what our students have done at a dinner event and silent auction.

Basket Fundraiser (in support of STEM activities for our students)

•Each grade has provided a theme basket with gifts, treats, gift cards, etc. Baskets can be viewed in the Q1 foyer.

•Anyone can purchase ticket(s)
Ticket prices
$1=1 ticket & a sticker
$5=6 tickets & a pencil
$10=15 tickets & a ball

•Tickets can then be placed in the bucket that coordinates with the basket of their choice

•The evening of the Gala, a ticket from each basket will be drawn and the basket will be awarded to the ticket holder (need not be present to win). 

Gala tickets are on sale again this week,before and after school, in the foyer of Q1.  If you are unable to purchase tickets at that time, please email lblakely@questac.org with your name and phone number and we will contact you to make arrangements.

Thank you!

*Sorry I noticed I didn’t put the date of the conferences.

Please sign up for our March conferences. If you haven’t met with me a second time this year it would be great to sit down and show you where your child is at and what we can do to finish the year strong. Send me an email with a time that would work for you. Thanks!

Parents, 

We choose to do S.T.E.M. today (ask them what happened) and with that I ran out of time and forgot to pass out blue folders. I have them all with their homework and reading passages ready for next week. I will pass them out Monday. Thanks! Enjoy your weekend. 

Mrs. Bischoff

Here are some fun pictures of your kiddos for Valentines day! We set up a fun photo shoot this morning. A couple chose not to do it. They also had lots of fun during the party. ENJOY!

Thank you to all my students for their love and fun Valentines today. I am definitely feeling very loved. Thank you to all you parents for your patience and support for me. 

Enjoy a long weekend no school Monday due to President’s day! 

Love, Mrs. Bischoff 

  

*Don’t forget to have your child bring their homemade Valentine’s boxes to school tomorrow February 12th. Those students who do not have one I will have a brown paper bag they can decorate in the morning. 

*Sign the permission slip for your child to participate in our Valentine party. (See previous post)

*Also don’t forget if you would like to bring a valentine for the students in class we have 25 students in our class and please do not write who they are too. This will be most helpful! 

*Parent teacher conferences are Thursday February 25th I have MANY slots open. If you have not met with me for a while it would be great to catch up and see how your child is doing.
