ROBINWOOD BOOK FAIR
October 14th - October 22nd, 2021
WE ARE BACK!
Although our fair may look a bit different this year, many things are still the same. Children will find many of the most popular titles and authors in our case selections. Because of production, we do NOT have the volume that our families who have been around for a long time are used to. So as we say, buy early and often or use our alternative online shopping store at the link below. There you will also find the ever important E-WALLET! We are encouraging all families to use this as the preferred method of payment. If your child doesn’t use all the money that you load onto the account, that money will sit in your scholastic account for future use on a book order. This process makes shopping easier and safer for EVERYONE! No lost or misplaced money, no hand to hand contact, just easy peasy shopping FUN! Of course, we will accept cash, checks (Made out to Robinwood Spencer in exact amount-no change will be given from a check) and of course credit cards. Although BOOKS are the main focus there are many journals, pens and knick-knacks to buy. Please talk with your child about a budget, what your expectations are for them to spend in the fair and if you are okay with them buying anything. We always have this arise at least once during the fair and we find it best if addressed at home before kids attend. They’re so EXCITED that they sometimes forget to buy what they are there for.
PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCE SHOPPING HOURS
As promised, we would be open to families during conference hours. Because of logistics our thought of having the carts outside will not realistically work. Therefore, we are being flexible and providing families with a shopping experience during their conference night with their child. (Parents must be present. (PLEASE DO NOT drop off your child to shop while you are in their conference. They must attend with you.) There will be a 5 family limit at one time and masks MUST be worn at all times regardless of vaccination status. Please check in at the library door and we will put you on the waitlist. You can either wait outside or in your car and we will call you when it’s your turn. Please be conscious of your time at the bookfair as we would like every family to have the opportunity to shop. We are limiting time in the shop so everyone can get a chance. Please don’t be offended if we ask you to wrap up your purchase. We want this to be a great experience for everyone and this is uncharted territory. We are doing our best to bring normalcy to our kids' lives again! If you have any questions, please email us at rwk6pto@gmail.com.
PLEASE DO NOT call the office to ask questions as they are already very busy tending to students during the day. We will check our email periodically throughout the fair to answer all questions.

PACER TEST IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASS 10/18/21-10/22/21
Next week students will be participating in the PACER test in Phy. Ed. Class. The PACER test is a test for your sons or daughters cardiovascular endurance. Students will run 20 meters before the beep from the recorder. After a set of laps, approximately 7 to 9 laps, the time between the beeps decreases slightly making it more difficult to complete the test. Each student gets two mistakes (not crossing the line before the beep), on the second mistake the students test is over and their number of laps completed is reported to the teacher.
On PACER test day students should have a healthy breakfast or lunch depending upon when they have Phy. Ed. class, wear gym shoes and bring water bottles to class.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at school.
Thank you,
Mr. Bauer
ROBINWOOD RUSH
The Robinwood RUSH is our one and only fundraiser for the year for PTO. Each child will be asked to run or walk around our Mr. Bauer designed course for 15-20 minutes. Each student will get information to sign up online and be sponsored either by lap or for the entire run with a straight donation. Children are encouraged to ask parents, grandparents, relatives, neighbors and friends. We DO NOT encourage door to door sales. There is a company we utilize to reach a social media audience and take donations online. All this information was sent home with your child on Tuesday, October 12th.
Every student that registers and gets a $10 donation will receive a pedometer to track their steps. We have some FUN incentives planned that will come out next week, so stay tuned!
We will be asking parents to help for this event! 20 Parents will be allowed to help run the event, we just ask that you’re able to stay all day. Lunch will be provided for ALL volunteers!

ROBINWOOD SPIRITWEAR STORE
The Robinwood Spiritwear Store is making its appearance again this year until October 26th. Due to production being at an all time low, there is a warning as you enter the site. PLEASE read it before purchasing. The company we work through will do their best to fulfill all orders but many things are out of their control. They will make sure we receive our shipment BEFORE Christmas. Please let us know if any are a gift and you would like to pick up the order. There is a section in the notes to request this.
