SCHOOL NEWS AND ACTIVITIES

 

FALL WEEK OF GIVING:  ANNUAL TEACHER FUND 
Today marks the end of BASIS Scottsdale's Fall Week of Giving, our bi-annual drive for donations to the Annual Teacher Fund (ATF). The ATF is a critical component in helping the school compensate the teachers for their achievements and hard work in supporting our students. Please consider making a donation this week. For the year, BASIS Scottsdale hopes to raise $1,500 per student to help close the gap in funding between public district schools and public charter schools. They recognize that some may be able to give more and others less. There is no donation that is too small, and they appreciate any support given to the school, financial or in service.

On Monday your students received ATF donation cards. If you haven't already, please review the cards and return them to the school. They are hoping for 100% card return. Alternatively, you can make your donation online anytime -  CLICK HERE TO DONATE.

HOST FAMILY NEEDED 
The BASIS Schools International Student Program is currently, and urgently, seeking a loving and caring host family in the BASIS Scottsdale area to host our 16 year old male student from mid-December 2014 through the end of May 2015. We are excited to share this short term hosting opportunity with you, and encourage you to forward this message to any friends, family, co-workers or neighbors who may be inclined to host our international student. The program also offers a stipend to all hosting families to help cover the costs of hosting.  As many current BASIS families already know, hosting an international student is a wonderful opportunity and a rewarding experience for both the host family and the international student. If you are interested in becoming a host family, or simply want more information, please email Hana Shafer at [email protected]. Hana will contact you shortly thereafter to answer any questions you have about the hosting experience, and guide you through the process.
RECYCLING FUNDRAISER
BASIS Scottsdale Leadership Society is conducting a recycling fundraiser. They are asking for donations of used consumer electronics. Your used item(s) may be tax deductible and will be recycled in accordance with EPA regulations. 100% of the proceeds will help fund events sponsored by BASIS Scottsdale Leadership Society. They are currently collecting the following items: Cell Phones, Inkjet Cartridges, iPads & Tablets, Apple iPods. Please drop off any items you would like to recycle at BASIS Scottsdale in the front lobby with the completed form.

DONATIONS NEEDED 

As we approach cold and flu season, we would like to help our school stock up on kleenex and Lysol wipes. We are asking our families to donate these items by dropping them off in the school lobby.  Thank you!
