WHS: Girls’ Night Out Leaders Still Needed

Participate in Attendance Research
The Jackson community has the opportunity to participate in important research on attendance practices within PPS. Annie Scott, Concordia Graduate Student of Community Psychology, PPS parent, and former PPS employee, will be conducting a survey on the function of school refusal behavior.
Annie will administer the survey this Thursday and Friday, March 31 and April 1, during lunch; no class time will be affected. Parent consent forms were distributed to the students, but if you no longer have the form and would like to participate, please click here to print one, or you may get a new form from the main office.
Let’s see how our students feel about going to school and staying at school. Please encourage your students to take the survey, and turn in the consent form.
Donate it!
Wine…
The PTA is still in need of wine and beer donations for Bernie O’Stein! We need more 50 bottles for the wine wall (valued at $10 or more). Consider clearing out and donating wine from your cellar or take advantage of a local business connection and get a discount on your donation.
Barbur World Foods is offering 10% bottle & 20% case discounts for purchases made on behalf of Bernie O’Stein – just ask for Dan if you want help making a selection. They will even store the wine for the PTA to pick up, or you can arrange for Kelly to pick wine up by emailing volunteer@jacksonpta.org.
… or beer
This year we’re expanding the offering to include 22-ounce bottles of beer! Jessica is collecting donations of 22 oz. beers valued at $4 or more. Arrange drop-off/pick-ups via email to jess_jon@msn.com
Consider volunteering with Bernie O’Stein this year
Meet new parents while you do your good deed for the year by volunteering at the Bernie O’Stein event this year at Oaks Bottom. Tasks include setting up and tearing down the event, paddle raise helpers, helpers for checking people in, food helpers, and manning the wine wall. We especially need help breaking down after the event. Please consider staying a bit later and helping out with stacking chairs, gathering tablecloths, and drinking the last of the beer in the keg.
