Halloween
November is the month to be thankful. We are once again, certainly thankful to the time and energy our staff put into making the day safe, secure and fun, and also to our many parents and grandparents who volunteered to help at Halloween. It really made the day special for our students and teachers. We also got some great feedback regarding how to make the parade and the parties even more engaging. As always, we are thankful for your honest and helpful feedback.
Special thanks to Mrs. Davis who created a memorable video of the day. Click here to view the video.
Thanks also to PTO for selecting our Costume winners, (see below).
Grade Level Costume Winners:
1st Place: Seven Dwarfs (5th grade)
2nd Place: Toy Story (1st grade)

K-Kids Helping Families in Need for Thanksgiving
K-Kids are asking for donations of nonperishable Thanksgiving-related foods such as cans of vegetables, boxes of mashed potatoes, boxes of stuffing, etc. Our food drive will run from October 21 through November 15. We are also looking for donations of Publix gift cards. The top two classes with the most donations will earn an extra recess.
All donations will first be used to help our own families at Oasis. If your family is in need of assistance this holiday season, please use this link and complete the form. All information is confidential. Any leftover donations will be sent to the Cape Coral Caring Center.
Thank you for your help! If you have any questions, please e-mail the K-Kids Faculty Sponsor Mr. Zedd at Joshua.Zedd@capecharterschools.org at any time.

Fortify App
The app, which is available for download on Apple and Android mobile devices, is critical to ensuring all Florida schools are safe environments where students and educators can experience and share the joy of learning without fear. FortifyFL is a suspicious activity reporting tool that allows you to instantly relay information to appropriate law enforcement agencies and school officials.
The Florida Legislature directed this tool’s development in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act. For more information visit: https://getfortifyfl.com/
