September news...

Hello Panthers,

If you have not joined PTA this year, please put Name, email, phone and five dollars in an envelope and give to the office staff! All PTA members should have received a newsletter from our fabulous new PTA board. If you have not, that means that you have not joined PTA OR your email has been entered incorrectly. Please email amy@karischurch.org to add/correct/change that!

Keep collecting box tops for the school!! We also collect coke reward points. Visit mycokerewards.com, sign yourself up, collect points, then give points to the school.
