FROM THE ARIZONA CHARTER SCHOOLS ASSOCIATION:
The Arizona Charter Schools Association is a staunch supporter of Proposition 123. Our members overwhelmingly voted to donate $10,000 to support Proposition 123 on behalf of Arizona's charter schools and students. Prop 123 would settle the education-funding lawsuit and infuse an additional $3.5 billion in additional education funding within the next 10 years. And the agreement would NOT raise taxes. It's time to provide this much-needed funding to our schools. Vote yes on May 17.
|
The Lunch Team thanks everyone who signed up for the catered lunch trial the
past two weeks. It was terrific to see students eating lots of fresh fruit
and salad, and making healthy meal choices! In the next few weeks we will
email a survey to get feedback about the lunches. We hope your students
enjoyed the new variety of food and side items, and we look forward to
hearing from you.
