SchoolStore.com:

Help me to help our school.  Most of us have done at least some online shopping, and I know the convenience is a big deal for me.  The advantage of shopping without actually having to drive around from store to store in traffic, the time saved and with gas prices the way they are these days, this program is a blessing. Since you may do some of your shopping online anyway, please visit www.SchoolStore.com and enter to search for our school (Cathedral Academy of Charleston, SC)...then, shop away!  A percentage from every single purchase comes back to our school.  No gimmicks, no catches...just profit for our school. There are over 200 Merchants on this site:  Wal-Mart, Target, Sears, Nike, Under Armour, The Gap, The Disney Store, Best Buy, car rentals, flower shops, hotels, and literally dozens of clothing stores for the whole family...and all with competitive pricing as well. Again that's www.schoolstore.com and enter to search for our school Cathedral Academy of Charleston, SC (there is another CA in another state...so make sure to click the Charleston CA.) Thank you, and let me know if you find any really good deals...I'm always looking for a bargain!

Contest Entry = Extra Credit Opportunity:
The South Carolina Academy of Science is sponsoring a mail-in contest for students in grades 4-6. Here is an excerpt from the information I was sent.

"I hope your students have fun and learn something by competing in the contest.  Each student who participates will be recognized and each school that participates will have at least one winner.  Winners will be announced in the SCJAS and SCAS newsletters and the SCAS Bulletin. The deadline for entry is Monday, March 5, 2012.  The authors of the 2011 contest include Frank Andrews Jordan, Eric Steinecke, Dr Don M. Jordan – all from USC, with support from members of the South Carolina Academy of Science.

We encourage students to use reference resources of all types, including the internet. However, we strongly discourage parents’ assistance in finding the answers. This is a competitive contest meant to teach the children new methods of learning and exploring. We love parents’ involvement, but require the students find the answers on their own for this contest."

If you are interested in your child participating, please e-me and I will send home the information. If your child completes the project and brings it to school for me to review, I will replace their lowest grade in reading or language with a 100.
