You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.--Leo Aikman

CUT-A-THON FUNDRAISER
To support the Raymond Family
A Cut-a-thon fundraiser is scheduled for Sunday, March 2, from 10AM –
5PM at Salon 151, to benefit
4-year old Mashpee resident, Donovan Raymond, who is battling a Wilm’s tumor (a
rare kidney cancer that primarily affects children ages 3-4 and becomes less
common after age 5). Donovan is the
brother of Quashnet third grader, Rhiannon Raymond. $15 wet cuts will be offered. All proceeds from the Cut-a-thon will go
directly to support the Raymond family—helping to offset medical bills, and
travel expenses to and from MGH in Boston and to and from doctor’s appointments. Your support will be greatly appreciated.

INTERNET/PHONE SAFETY
We are very grateful to parent Christopher Santos for educating parents who attended his presentation last Thursday night. His attached Power Point presentation is an excellent resource for parents who want to learn more about the technology their children are using and also to learn ways to ensure that their children are safe when using the Internet and their phone. Mr. Santos’ Internet/Phone Safety Power Point presentation is recommended reading for all parents! Link: Internet-Phone Safety Presentation
CALLING ALL EMPTY WATER BOTTLES
Please save your empty water bottles. Mrs. Blount is leading a project to build a greenhouse at the Quashnet School using the bottles. Quite a few bottles are needed, and we are hopeful that all families will be able to donate. Please bring your saved empty plastic water bottles to our upcoming Math Night on Thursday, February 27th. Your support is very much appreciated.
The month of February is officially designated as Black History Month by the U.S. Congress. What began as a one-week celebration of the contributions of African-Americans to U.S. History evolved into a month-long celebration to highlight the people and events of Black history in the U.S. and around the world. Learn about the amazing contributions of African American writers, poets, inventors, politicians, educators, doctors, scientists, and entertainers. Also learn about the remarkable acts of bravery and courage of everyday African Americans throughout history. A great site to visit is: http://www.history.com/topics/black-history-month

With Gratitude,
YOU COME TO LOVE NOT BY FINDING THE PERFECT PERSON BUT BY SEEING AN IMPERFECT PERSON PERFECTLY. Sam Keen
