________________________________________________________________________________Washington-Hoyt Chess Club-
News for November and December!
Chess Club is going strong. Anyone still interested in playing can join chess. We teach chess from beginner basics to experienced levels. We now have great curriculum to help us teach and once a month we have a Chess Master coming to teach the students. Our season runs from now through the end of April ending with the Washington State Elementary Chess Championship on April 24th, 2010. The first tournament for seasoned chess players is in December, and our beginners will experience their first tournament in January. Come and learn to play the fun game of chess! Any questions call the MacDonald house at 253-761-0369.
Chess club is looking for new coordinators for next year to keep the chess club going. This could be one or two parents who come to school once a week to help set up boards, make sure permission forms are filled out, and possibly help teach beginners by using the curriculum provided (no chess knowledge required). Let us know if you are interested.

________________________________________________________________________________SIGN UP TO RECEIVE THE COUGAR TALES NEWSLETTER IN YOUR EMAIL!
We are currently still printing over 350 copies of the newsletter each month and we'd love to get those printing costs down!! Thanks! Email the Cougar Tales Editor Rosemary Ponnekanti and let her know today!
Also, we are looking for news and submission from the kids for the newsletter.
________________________________________________________________________________BOX TOPS FUNDRAISER!!
We have a great opportunity as a school to raise a lot of money for our school through the Box Tops program.
First off all, everyone should start looking at their food packaging for the Box Tops logo, clip it off and turn them into the cereal box in your classroom! Every Box Top that is turned in earns the school $0.10. I know that doesn't seem like a lot but we have the potential to earn thousands of dollars for our school during the year if we all get started today!
Secondly, the Box Tops "Power of 1" program started yesterday and continues until December 1, 2009. All you have to do is sign up for the "Power of 1" program and that will earn 5 Box Tops for our school!
