THANK YOU!!
Wecome Back to School Night A big round of applause to all those who helped out at Mount’s Back to School Night. It is you that makes Mount such a special place. It is you that sets such a great example for our children. Together, you helped to create a special night for all Mount families and students. So many of you came straight from work to help out. Others of you worked alongside your children to show them what the true meaning of community was. And yet others, stayed well beyond their allotted volunteer time to continue to assist our children and make sure that Back To School Night was a success. Never think for a moment that your dedication goes unnoticed or unappreciated. To all of you that painted faces and tattooed hands, THANK YOU! To those of you that helped glue, tie, bead and color, THANK YOU! To those of you that came to help set up, stayed late to help clean up and came running with ice for Sno-Cones, THANK YOU! To those of you that had the job of keeping food in the cafeteria, a daunting task, THANK YOU! To all of you that joined us for a special night of family fun and helped when you saw help was needed, THANK YOU! And finally, a special THANKS to the custodial staff for their tremendous effort in setting up for and cleaning up Back To School Night. You guys were great. It was an honor and a privilege to work alongside such a committed group of people. I look forward to working with all of you again. THANK YOU!

Book Fair To all of our Book Fair volunteers - Most importantly, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for coming out and helping to make this Book Fair the best success yet! We sold $13,100 in books alone! With today's busy and hectic lifestyles we know that you pushed something aside to squeeze in some time to assist us. Your efforts were greatly appreciated by not only us but by your children and the Mount teachers. Seeing the excitement in the children's eyes as they perused the fair and might have come up to you with a question or two hopefully made it all worth it. What is a better reward than watching your child and your child's friends enjoying a good book? All of you deserve a kind, warm pat on the back for sharing your time! We are looking forward to the next book fair and hope to count on your support once again! Again, thank you! Sincerely,
Jen Liquori, Wendy Miller-Lynch, Elaine Sklar Book Fair Co-Chairpersons
Greenworks Fall Clean-Up Hopefully most of you have noticed some of the areas that were cleaned up and prepped for the Spring during Greenworks Fall-Clean Up held on November 1st. It was an unseasonably warm day in which several families and friends came together for a common goal. I would like to thank Girl Scout Troop #812, Cub Scout Den #9, the Troutman, Ricci and DiPietro families for turning out and lending a hand. We were able to accomplish a lot in a small amount of time. Kids and parents alike worked very hard, they are all to be commended! Pruning, weeding and even a little planting were done by all. We look forward to our Spring Clean Up in April when we can hopefully prepare some areas for gardens that can be grown and tended by students with their classes. Hope to see you then!
