Dear Parents,
On Monday, our 4th and 5th graders will be participating in The Pillowcase Project presented by Red Cross Volunteers with materials sponsored by Disney. The students will be involved in a Learn-Practice-Share format which will teach students how they and their households can best prevent, prepare for and escape from a home fire, what causes natural hazards, coping and calming during emergency and stressful situations and much more. The materials Red Cross will give to the students during the presentation will be packed up into their own pillowcase to take home!
On Thursday, October 20th the Red Cross Volunteers will return to present The Pillowcase Project to the 2nd and 3rd grade classrooms.
Many thanks to Mrs. Schreib for recommending this presentation for our students during October - Fire Prevention Month.

Conferences
Kids and teens do better in school when parents are involved in their academic lives. Attending parent–teacher conferences is a way to be involved and help your child succeed. A parent–teacher conference is a great opportunity to start or continue ongoing conversations with your child's teacher.
Please confirm your scheduled time.
Reminder...Friday October 14 is AM attendance only.
Students will be dismissed at 12:00 PM.
