Grocery Grab is Coming Soon
 GROCERY GRAB AT HYVEE
 
Ed Coulter will once again hed up our Grocery Grab Fundraiser on April 13, Mission HyVee.
What we know so far is that the Friday before, 4/9, we'll have a Social at which finalists are selected.
Soon we will be signing up for slots at the HyVee to sell tickets.  If this is new to you, we each sell tickets with names on them. When the finalists are selected, they have 5 minutes to run through the store and collect a cart of groceries. 
Merriam Park Elementary to Kauffman Center
Coach Dre` matched us up with an opportunity to assist the Meriam Park Elementary School and the SMKS Rotary Club Board approved funding.
Merriam Park's  3rd, 4th, and 5th grade field trip (on April 4th) to go to the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. 
The students learn so much from this field trip and it’s really reasonably priced. The total cost is $484. Kauffman Center’s Open Doors program provided a grant that will cover transportation. All students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th will attend along with the choir director, their classroom teachers, paras, and a few parents to support specific students. Before attending the Link Up: The Orchestra Moves concert, students will learn the pieces to be performed at the concert in music class. 
Here's a YouTube example of what we'll do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPVu-2MNtZ0.
