September Updates
We have really enjoyed having the children and teachers back in school. The students are adjusting well and instruction is underway. The teachers spent a lot of time in September building classroom communities and setting expectations. This has really contributed to a smooth opening.
Below are a few items of interest to parents:

Treasurer’s Report:
- Reminder: Remember to re-link your Giant, Safeway, Harris Teeter, and Target cards to Campbell. This is free $$$ for our school.
- For the 2013-2014 school year, we expect income to be $73,254. Expenditures are projected to be $66,512, so we project a net gain of $6,741. These are very conservative estimates. Fundraising last year was very successful, so we have a good cushion for this year.

We can determine the others as things evolve. Often topics come up at PTA meetings that warrant further discussion. Read More
