Parent Teacher Conferences/Meet the Teachers
Parent Teacher Conferences as a group will be held on Thursday, September 15th.  Each team will be sending out specific information in the Friday folders as to the time and location of their group conferences.  Individual parent/teacher conferences will occur on different dates/times and will be by request only.  Volunteer Opportunity: In addition to support our teachers and provide them dinner on the conference night, we will have a Sign Up genius for volunteers to provide food in addition to the generous donation from CityBBQ of pulled pork sandwiches.  www.SignUpGenius.com/go/20F054BA9AC2DA5FF2-dinner

TradeGlobal Packaging Volunteers
Volunteer Opprotunity: CIS has been presented with a new and better way to fundraise!  No selling, baking, etc involved.  Just your time:) TradeGlobal is a West Chester packaging company for companies like Avon, Tory Burch, and Puma. They look for volunteers with non-profits/schools to pack boxes for them during the holiday season.  As a volunteer, you would be packing their orders for shipment.  The shift is 7:45am-4pm. TradeGlobal will make a donation between $100-$160 for each person for each shift we can cover.  The maximum amount we can make on this fundraiser is in excess of $25,000. Part of the funds we would raise ($5,500) will be used to finance a glass blowing artist that will spend 2 weeks at CIS teaching the kids the art of glass blowing and giving them the opportunity to contribute to a school project that will be displayed in the front window of the school for many years to come. Sign up for as many spots as you can and sign up your friends, relatives and neighbors too:) This a great and easy way to help raise funds to be used in our own school! The sign-up genius for volunteering is here: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f054ba9ac2da5ff2-tradeglobal
