03/19/10-- HELPING HANDS MEETING: The next Mendon Center Elementary Helping Hands meeting is scheduled for Friday, March 19 at 8:30am in the cafeteria. (Please ride the early bus to school.) First, MCE and Helping Hands parent, Mrs. Lori Moore, will enlighten us about the gift of organ donation. The Moore family was very personally touched by this special gift because Mrs. Moore's sister was a recipient of multiple organs. Then Karin Kaiser, our Red Cross representative who is helping us organize our annual blood drive, will pump you up to recruit donors (family members, friends, neighbors). Rumor has it that the Helping Hands kids who have the most people come to donate blood will win a pizza lunch with your favorite principal, Mrs. Ward. So, start recruiting! The blood drive will take place at Mendon Center on the afternoon of the half day of school--Wednesday, March 24--and a local Girl Scout troop will provide babysitting services for the children of donors. Remember, Helping Hands meetings are open to all fourth and fifth graders at MCE. Parents are always invited and encouraged to attend (extra help is always needed and greatly appreciated!).
03/20/10-- The 8th Annual MCE Chess Tournament will be held on Saturday, March 20, 2010 from 9AM to 1PM for kids K-8th grade. View details on MCE PTSA website here at http://www.pittsfordptsa.net/resources.cfm?subpage=273482
