https://speakup.tomorrow.org/ChooseQuestionSet.aspxStorybook Character Dress Up Day:
On Wednesday, October 31st, students are welcome to dress up as their favorite storybook character from a book they have read. Students should bring in the book with them. All characters must be positive role models. Appropriate school shoes must be worn. No masks or weapons of any kind. No face make-up, or hair coloring. Bring an extra set of clothes just in case your outfit isn’t comfortable. Students can be “in character” during recess and lunch.
If you do not have a copy of the book, you may visit our library to check it out.
Message from the Health Office:
Every Minute Matters
The TK and Kindergarten years are a wonderful time to begin developing friendships amongst our youngest students. Parents often find it is an opportunity to socialize with other moms and dads, as well. We love this aspect of our Guin Foss community! We are noticing, however, that instructional time is being disrupted by children playing loudly outside of our kindergarten classrooms just before late bird drop-off and right after early bird pick-up. In order to maximize every instructional minute, please minimize playing in this area during these times. A wonderful way to allow the social interaction outside of school would be to set up a play day or visit a park together! Thank you for your consideration of learning at Guin Foss. When it comes to learning, every minute matters!
Family Lunch Day: November 15th
See's Candy Bar Fundraiser for Outdoor Education
We still have some See's Candy Bars left. The fundraiser is open to Kinder-5th Grade. It is never too early to start fundraising for your child's Outdoor Education Trip. All profits from the candy bars that you sell will go directly to your child’s Outdoor Education Account. Please contact Kirsti Cenci (kirdnn@yahoo.com) to make arrangements to get candy or for more information regarding this fundraiser.
