Way to go Finney! We raised over $1000 for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society during Pennies for Patients! Mrs. Haase’s class raised the most and they win a pasta party.

Movie Night is Friday, May 3, 7:00-9:30. Proceeds support 6th grade. Tickets are $1 in advance and $2 at the door. Tickets are for sale all week before and after school.

May 6-10 is Staff Appreciation Week at Finney! If you’d like to surprise a staff member, one of the best gifts is a sincere thank you note. Want to know your teacher’s favorite things? We have compiled this list of: Finney Staff Gift Preferences.

We appreciate your help celebrating our wonderful staff!

A shout-out to Ms. Longo’s class, room 406, for having 99% attendance last week–way to go! Finney’s overall attendance was 94.8% last week. Our goal is 98%. Be sure to bring your child to school every day on time. Every minute of every day counts!
