All items warmed up need to be on a paper plate/bowl. You can help by sending in paper plates/bowls with your child when their lunch requires the use of the microwave or by donating a package of paper plates/bowls marked ‘cafeteria.’ Important Information: (All our information is posted on our PTO website http://www.miamipto.com ) Copy Cat Team ~ Have an empty day or just a few hours? Join the Copy Cat Team at Miami. Check the Teacher Workroom for copying that needs to be done. Teachers get boggled down with copying and need help. If you could spare a couple hours a week that would be great! If you have questions, check in with Ms. Cameron in the office for more information. Miami 2009-10 Yearbook ~ The Miami Yearbook committee has setup a hotmail email address and a Shutterfly account where pictures can be sent or uploaded. This site is also great to share your pictures with other Miami parents. Our goal is to receive as many pictures from all of you so that we can try and get all the kids in the yearbook this year. Stay tuned for more updates in the future. Any questions may be sent to our email address below. A link is also posted on our website www.miamipto.com E-mail Address is: miamiyearbook@hotmail.com Shutterfly Web Link is: http://miamiyearbook.shutterfly.com Facebook ~ Miami has set up a group for our Miami families.
