This Week at Charlotte Lab School

Dear Lab Families,
I know that November seems like a long time ago, however, we just received the final total of money raised on
#GivingTuesday 2018, and it was definitely worth the wait -- $10,557 from 71 donors! A big thank you to everyone who participated in this very successful day! We would love to thank you personally, however, Network for Good, the fundraising platform used by Facebook, does not share donation details with nonprofit recipients (i.e Lab). So, if you made a gift on
#GivingTuesday, please email us directly, and we will add your name to our list of 2018/19 Innovation Fund Donors. Also, please keep in mind that your donation receipt will come from Network for Good.
Speaking of this year’s Innovation Fund, if you haven’t made a donation yet, please consider making a gift and showing your support today. You can learn more, including the ways to give, on our
website. This year, we have a goal of 100% participation, and we need everyone to participate to reach that goal. A gift of any amount will make a difference and enable us to have a big impact on our students and the entire Lab community.
Make your 2019 donation, today!
Also, please remember that
Sibling Preference Lottery applications must be submitted using
this form by
TONIGHT at 11:59 pm.
Sincerely,
Dr. Mary Moss
Executive Director

Understanding Middle School Standards Based Grading...With Pizza!

Get the answers to these questions and more by joining us on
January 31 in the
Middle School Large Commons from
