A big welcome and congratulations go out to Jennifer Steinacker who will become part of our team for the 21-22 school year (pending Board approval on Monday)! Although you've been part of our building as a floating sub recently, on behalf of the members of our team, we would like to welcome you fully to the Quinney Crew! We are delighted and excited about working with you!!!!

PENNY WAR BEGINS THIS WEEK!

Next week, the Cougar Council will be kicking off a school wide

fundraiser for SOAR Fox Cities!  One of the main reasons the

Cougar Council chose this fundraiser is because we know there

are people with special needs in our school and community that

can benefit from this program. The money raised for SOAR

will go toward funding summer camps, day trips, Kidz Klub

programming and any other needs they may have.  

We will be doing this fundraiser Dec. 13th through Dec. 17th.

For our fundraiser, we will be doing a Penny Challenge.

It’s a friendly competition among different grade levels

to raise funds for SOAR Fox Cities. The goal of the Penny Challenge

is to raise money by collecting as many NON-PENNIES (positive points) as

possible in your grade level jar and putting as many PENNIES

(negative points) in everyone else’s jars.

Silver coins and dollars can be used to

increase money totals for your grade and pennies

will subtract amounts from other grades. 

However, ALL the money will be donated to benefit those with

special needs and their families. 

Save those coins CARING COUGARS… Thank you for your help in supporting this cause!

Holidays!

Thanks so much for being respectful of all students and their families as you have planned for the holidays.  It’s obvious that students enjoy these times of the year, as well as, the exposure to the diversity that our world brings. 

For me holiday season brings thoughts of joy and gratitude, and it gives yet another time to express thanks and sincere appreciation for your amazing hard work, care, creativity, and dedication. Whatever you plan to do, and wherever you plan to be, I wish each one of you a happy and safe holiday season. Breathe, rest, rejuvenate, restore...   Wishing you well! - Stacy K.
