IDEAS? If you have ideas for fundraising or school improvements or just want to share your opinion, please direct your queries to the FOB Presidents, Andrea and Mark Andrews. They are most familiar with school protocol. Also, feel free to leave a note for them in the FOB mailbox.
NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS There will be a free electronic waste drop off at Walgrove Elementary School (1630 Walgrove Ave.) on SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 9:00AM-3:00PM. Drop off electronics to be recycled and funds will go to the Walgrove's booster club.
TIP OF THE WEEK Now who hasn't had hiccups? Here is a quick cure if you get the hiccups before you have something important to say--stick out your tongue as far as you can and with it extended inhale and exhale until the hiccups stop. This simple exercise stimulates the glottis (the opening between your vocal chords), allowing you to breathe more smoothly. Just try to do it privately or you'll get odd looks!
YOU'VE BEEN STUNG Ashley Halverson, you've been stung! Ashley has been involved in the fundraising efforts at the school as well as coordinating the Car Show. She attends the PTA/FOB meetings and is always offering her assistance in ways that she can help the school. There's a lot of work that Ashley does on her own, too, as she is constantly thoughtful in her ways to improve Beethoven. Ashley, we appreciate you and thank you for all that you do!
Have a great week!
Cheers, Elizabeth R. Palser
