Some other exciting news…

Germain is considering applying as an AFFILIATED CHARTER SCHOOL. In a nut shell this will mean additional school funds as well as increased influence concerning how and what we spend the additional funds on; more information to follow. Please do your part and research about other schools that have affiliated charter status. Ask other parents with students at affiliated charter schools, because the more we know the better! If interested in sharing your advice and opinions please contact: Ronit and Jeff Fischbach at ronit@secondwave.com

Don’t forget with all these many events, the most important event is to send your child to school on time every day!

Hope you have a great week!!!
