Ninth Grade Class Parent Newsletters
Saturday, September 1, 2018
Dear AIS Class of 2023 Parents,
 
Happy Fall! We are almost officially at the “mid-semester” point which is hard to believe. 
 
HayFair is a great opportunity for parents to get involved and get to know others in our community.  There are lots of opportunities and ways to help, both in advance and on the day of the event, that can fit anyone's schedule!  We are collecting donations for the Hayfair fundraiser from parents in order to theme a basket from the 9th grade class.  Our class was assigned the "For the Dogs" and we have put together an Amazon wish list for you to order and have sent to Maria's home by October 25th (she will then transport and wrap them for the event). Please use this link:
                           https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/DKFVL3N6CQWJ?&sort=default 
 Alternatively, if you would like to buy your own item to donate, we ask that you  drop  them  off at 672 Conestoga Rd no later than Friday, October 25th . Please include a list of items and their dollar value. Thank you for your help with this.
