Mahogany Messenger Nov. 27 - Dec. 1 | You Are Amazing, Winter Concert, Fundraising, Fun Lunch
Hello Mahogany Families,
Thank you for joining us for Parent-Teacher Conferences. We know that this is big work, and we hope you gained some insights and enjoyed connecting with your child’s teachers. We loved connecting with so many of you. Thank you to everyone who stopped by for our inaugural Coffee with Tracy and Christine – connection is everything. We will be hosting this as a monthly parent drop in on the Friday mornings at 10:00 following our School Council Meetings.
It is hard to believe we are heading into December this coming week! For some people this is “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” and for others it is a time filled with uncertainty and sometimes trepidation as routines change and schedules get turned upside down. Remember, as Dr. Jody says, to drop your shoulders and live in the moment. Be amazing...it is in your power to be there for yourself and your people and then everything else is gravy. There is nothing more important than you!
Enjoy your weekend everyone!
❤️
Tracy and Christine

Mahogany School Council and Fundraising Association|
We have some exciting fundraising opportunities coming up that we hope you will be a part of. These upcoming fundraisers provide a chance for students and parents to contribute to the school community and support various programs and initiatives.
Firstly, we are running a coffee fundraiser through Fundabl from November 10th to December 2nd. Each bag contains exquisite ground coffee grown in Honduras. The coffee beans are 100% USDA Certified Organic and are grown using natural processes that bring out rich flavors and aromas. The coffee will be delivered to the school by December 16th just in time for winter break.

COBS Bread in Mahogany is also helping us fundraise. Simply mention the Mahogany School when you make a purchase, and they donate 5% of the sales back to the Mahogany School.
We are also receiving funds through Mabels Labels and Skip the Depot. If you’re looking for kids labels or have bottles to donate, don’t forget to select Mahogany School and support our fundraising efforts. If fundraising is not your thing but you would still like to contribute you can donate directly through Education Matters. Donations made through Education Matters will receive a tax receipt.
