The school at Pride Manchester is asking that everybody save their box tops from General Mills products. The box tops are then turned in and vouchers are received to be used to buy school supplies, go on field trips/activities, or whatever the children desire. There is a drop off spot at the Missouri office and at Pride Manchester.

 

 

You cannot carry over more than 240 hours vacation/PTO hours from one fiscal year to the next fiscal year. At the end of the fiscal year you will lose any hours in excess of 240. It is your responsibility to check the number of hours you have on your remittance advice (pay stub). If you are not sure, you may check with the Business Office. You should check regularly, since leave must be approved by your team leader. Don=t wait until the end of the fiscal year!

Congratulations to Alice Messer on her 16 years of employment at Pizza Hut.

 

Congratulations to Renee Benedict who became DD certified by the state of North Dakota on 8-18-09!

A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, “Grandma, guess what? We learned how to make babies today.” The grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool. “That’s interesting,” she said, “how do you make babies?” “It’s simple,” replied the girl. “You just change the ‘y’ to ‘i’ and add ‘es’.”
