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.

Principal’s Chat Schedule

Earlier in the summer I requested feedback and topics for Principal’s Chats.  Several parents said earlier was better, while others said the morning is hectic.  So we’ll compromise.
