East senior collecting donations
For her senior project, Columbus East High School student Haley Hazard is seeking donations of items for an April 1 garage sale. The site of the sale will be determined at a later date.
All proceeds from the sale will go toward the Adoption Medical Fund at Animal Care Services to help with medical costs, pet care, pet food and to promote adoptions and educational programs. The fund does not use tax dollars and is funded by fines, fees and monetary donations.
From now until March 24, donations of old, gently used clothes, shoes, toys, desk chairs and other items can be given to Hazard.
To make a donation, contact Hazard by calling 812-447-3028, or sending an email to [email protected].
Kindergarten roundup
Bartholomew Consolidated School Corp.’s elementary schools will begin registration for students entering kindergarten for the 2017-18 school year from March 6 to 10.
Any child that is 5 years old by Aug. 1 is eligible for kindergarten.
Each BCSC elementary school will be open from 6 to 7 p.m. March 6 for a Kindergarten Round-up Night to register students. If parents are unable to attend, they can register their child at their home school’s main office from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily March 6 to 10.
All parents must present the following items to register their child for school:
- Child’s birth certificate
- Child’s immunization records
- Proof of residency
The proof of residency can be a utility bill (not a cellphone bill), but the address reflected must match the student’s home address.
Parents should contact the school their child will attend if they have any questions.
