know…that last month before school starts where you realize you
haven't seen the summer To Do list in weeks and there's no time to
look for it let alone accomplish any of it. Did anyone venture over to
Leopold this afternoon to have fun at the Art Cart? Me neither…that was
on my summer list...ugh… Relax…there's always winter break!
By now you should have received information in the mail about MMSD's
online enrollment which begins on Monday, August 9th. Read more about
it on the MMSD website at http://www.madison.k12.wi.us/node/7390 . You
will still need to come to registration at Leopold on Thursday, August
19th sometime between 11am and 6pm to complete your child's
registration, but you get can a head start by completing some of the
paperwork online in advance. Remember…be there or be square!
It's that time again – MyMenu Fundraising day! Tomorrow is the first of
many 1st Thursdays where your purchases can support Leopold. If you are
a MyMenu eRewards customer, visit any MyMenu store on Thursday, August
5th from 9am – 8pm, tell them your child attends Leopold and 10% of your
purchase will be donated to the school. Not an eRewards customer? You
can visit their website for more info.

Speaking of FUNd raisers, I hope you have August 27 – 29 marked with
bright colors or stickers or whatever it takes to help you remember
important dates. You are invited to join the Leopold PFO at Vitense
Golfland (http://www.vitense.com/) as we tee up another fabulous school
year. It is Leopold weekend at Vitense where 15% of your purchases will
come back to the PFO as a donation. Play some mini golf, hit a bucket
of balls at the driving range, have a snack, take a few swings at the
batting cages or try your hand at indoor boat racing. Whatever you
choose, mention you're with Leopold and have some fun! Hope to see you
there!
Attention all crafters…is anyone planning a trip to Michael's Craft
Store to purchase either a Cricut Expression or Yudu? If so, ask a
sales associate about their current promotion where they will donate one
of these items to the school of your choice. This promotion is going on
through the entire month of August.
The following information came from the MMSD information officer:
