NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL...
We have some fun events taking place in October from our first family night to the dairy cow visit at the end of the month. See the important dates section of the newsletter to keep informed of the happenings at Foskett Ranch.
Our Starstuck dance program begins next week. Each week as part of our PE instruction classes will be learning a dance from a professional dance instructor. The rehearsals culminate in evening performances. This year the evening performances take place on November 13th and November 14th depending on your child's class. We will get more information to you in the next couple of weeks.
Enjoy the upcoming break!

La Villa will generously give a portion of their proceeds for the day to Foskett.

HALLOWEEN ON ICE
Skatetown in Roseville is hosting their 16th Annual Halloween Skate Party on Friday, October 18th with a laser light show, a DJ, free skate lessons, aids, games, & prizes. Costumes or spirit wear are welcome, so long as they’re appropriate for ice skating (masks & weapons are not advised; for additional guidelines, see this link Skatetown FAQ). Helmets, gloves, long socks, & layered clothing are recommended.
So that you can have a little more fun for a little less, your PTO will subsidize the cost! Only FRES staff, students, & their families are invited to participate in special discounted pricing of ONLY $6/wristband (incl. skate rental & admission), when pre-purchased by Oct. 16th! PTO will pay the difference! Additional wristbands can be purchased directly from Skatetown for $13.50/each at the door. Parental presence at the ice rink & supervision (on the ice or from the sidelines) is required for students to participate & all persons on the ice will require a wristband. A flyer with more information & an order form will be coming home with your student this week. Fill out the order form & waiver page & return it to your student’s teacher before Oct. 16th to get this special offer of 2 wristbands for about the cost of 1.
BOX TOPS
Physically clipped Box Tops labels should continue to be sent in to teachers or put into the collection box in the office. Box Tops received by October 18th will be included in our Fall submission to Box Tops for Education. Those received after that will be collected & submitted in the Spring. While the program is converting to a more electronic format via their App, physically clipped Box Tops will continue to be accepted until their printed expiration dates.
Box Tops can also be collected by scanning your store receipts that include participating products (Participating Product List) with your Box Tops App.
If you have e-receipts from online shopping, you can forward your e-receipts to receipts@boxtops4education.com from the same email address your Box Tops account uses. As of 7/17/19, these e-receipts are eligible: Instacart, Jet.com, SamsClub.com, Shipt, Target.com, Target Pick-Up/Drive-Up, Walmart Grocery, Walmart.com.
