NORTH TEXAS GIVING DAY - SEPT 20th!
Join us for an 18-hour giving extravaganza to benefit our local nonprofits and make a difference here at home.
We will be providing you with everything you need to give and to help promote Shelton's fundraising efforts! Watch the website and social media.
Starting on September 10th, you can schedule your donations! This works much like scheduling your bills. Between September 10th and September 19th you can schedule your donations to Shelton. This way if you are out of town or don't want to forget to give, the donation is already scheduled. The donation will be processed on September 20th.
We will provide more information about scheduling your donation as that time approaches.

MORE ON CARPOOL / TRAFFIC SAFETY
Several of you responded to last week's email, and we thank you for sharing our concern. Here's one additional thing you can do to help: please provide this map of the carpool route to anyone else who may be picking up your children, e.g. grandparents, caregivers. "Subs" actually need this information more than anyone. Take a moment to share procedures with them, including how to queue up in line.
