THANK YOU! #WildcatsUNLEASHED
I want to thank you for the focused energy you provide to our students every day. I am glad to see that many of you are enjoying our "Jean' tober! Thank you!
Halloween Dance
For the third year in a row, we will be holding our Halloween Dance in our cafeteria from 6-8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 30th.
We need your assistance with the following:
- Decorations – do you have any Halloween decorations that we can borrow such as inflatables? If so, please put your name on it and drop it off in my office.
- Decorate – please consider staying after school on the day of the dance to help us decorate the cafeteria.
- Supervision – please consider helping us supervise the dance from 6-8. It’s the BEST dance of the school year as we have a costume contest and we all have a BLAST!
- Advertise – please print the attached flyer and post it in your classroom. Pump up the event by talking it up to the students.
Lastly, as a reminder… these dances cover costs for activities/events for YOU (ie. lunches for PLC planning days, pancake breakfasts, Staff Appreciation Week, snacks at meetings, end of year luncheon, etc…). We REALLY need your assistance & support!
Please let me know if you are staying after school to help decorate or supervise the dance. Everyone who helps decorate/supervise will get a special treat from ME!
Regards,
Andressa Mira
