This Week at Placerita 9.29.19
Welcome to Week Eight and the beginning of October!
Happy Fall everyone...
This Tuesday is the Step-it-Up fundraiser due date. We have done well and raised a nice amount of money. If you still have contributions please have your student submit them either online with the information that your student has, or if you have cash contributions they may go to Mrs. Nelson in the Assistant Principal’s office. Thank you all so much for all your help with this huge project!
All through the month of October we will wear Pink on Wednesdays for Breast Cancer Awareness month. Your student can earn team points for their team by participating.
On Wednesday morning we have a lock down drill that will take place while we are out of class. This drill is to prepare us for a situation where we would need to get in a safe place if we were between classes, at brunch or at lunch.
This Friday is the Student-of-the-Month Brunch. You will receive an invitation of your student has been selected.
Next Monday, October 7, is our Fall Break Monday. There will be no school that day.
Please plan on attending our first and only Restaurant Night for this Fall on October 10th at the California Pizza Kitchen. We will get 20% of the total for all day on October 10th. See the flyer below for more information.
We also have our first Placerita Parent Organization Breakfast Meeting on October 15th right after Drop-off at 8:10 in the morning.
We have a lot more very important dates below so check them out…
That’s it for tonight. Have a great week!
