Treasure What you Treasure:

 

With just two weeks left to go in our Fall Fund Drive we have raised $35,000 of our $45,000 goal. Time is running out for us to raise these critical funds that support every program at Anser. These funds don't cover extras, or special projects at Anser. They keep the doors open and the lights on. Please understand our critical need of your contribution to keeping Anser financially strong. Did you know Idaho is now 50th in the country for spending on education? And because we receive no levy funds Anser receives 25% less than a traditional school?  We can't expect top notch education from bottom of the barrel funding. We need your help! Please contribute to Anser today. Our final drawing will be held on Wednesday December 18th and our thank you listing all families who have donated to the Fall Fund Drive will be sent on Thursday December 19th.

 

Thank you to the following families who have contributed to the Fall Fund Drive: Teresa and Tom Schmalz, Debbie Woods- Staley, Mary Rogers, Josh and Catherine Mackie, Sean and Lora Breen, Bessie Labudde, Kym and Jeff Hills, and Jane Wittmeyer and Brent Olmstead and Sean and Penelopy Gaffney and Greg Martinez and Margaret Mulhern.

Anser T-shirt display is up:  

 

The new Anser t shirts are designed and ready for orders - just in in time for holiday giving! Back by popular demand, the design will include all current students' names on a neon green shirt. Look for the highlighted letters within the names to find our school motto

"We are crew not passengers"

Attached you will find the order form with prices and a mockup of the t-shirt design (colors will be slightly different than shown here).

After Thanksgiving a display will be near the front office to check sizes and and see actual. Please submit your orders by Thursday Dec 13th to receive by winter break. A second order week be placed after winter break, most likely in January.

 

Questions? Please contact family council rep Tamara Reames at [email protected] or 631-6768.
