*Also, as a tip, I like to record on a calendar which days I've ordered food for our kids before I send the form in.  If you're in a hurry you can use a home photocopier or scanner.  Just scan or print the completed form for your records!  Even faster, just snap a quick, but clear picture on your smartphone.  It's always great to keep track of which days you're off the hook for lunch duty! :)

We're Having a Blast So Far!

January is flying by!  Just checking in for our post-holidays report to give a run-down on all the fun things we've been up to with Loch Lomond Home and School.

• Some of our fundraisers included:
• tickets were sold on a Scentsy basket, generously donated by Leanne Savoie

• Guess and Give
• Fundscrip Gift Cards
• Christmas Flea Market
• The Home and School also helped with these fantastic events:
• Halloween Literacy Night
