Come One, Come All to the Greatest Book Fair of All
Come One, Come All to the Greatest Book Fair of All
Our fall book fair is October 21st - October 25th. We are going to have a Change War between classes to raise money for All For Books. The money raised will help buy books for children who otherwise could not afford them. As an added incentive, the class that raises the most money (class average) will get to keep 100% of their money to buy books for their classroom! The Change War will begin on Monday, October 7th and end on Wednesday, October 16th. Please send in your loose change or bills to help others and Alward!
Also, volunteers are needed during the book fair hours and on Literacy Night (October 23) to help students make wish lists and buy books. Please sign up with this link for days and times that work for you!
Thank you!

ONGOING FUNDRAISERS:
Amazon Smiles: We now have an account set up with Amazon to collect a donation whenever anyone shops at smile.amazon.com with this link:
https://smile.amazon.com/ch/38-3393971
It's the same Amazon, same items, same prices. But when users check out through this link, we get 0.5% of their purchase donated back to PTC. Such an easy way to earn money for our school!
Box Tops Collection: We used to collect box tops, count them and mail them in. Our school would earn money in return. The Box Top Program is changing slightly, stay tuned for more details! You can still save those box tops, but there will be a new way for us to get credit for them!
Family Fare Receipts: Save your Family Fare Receipts and turn them in to the office. That's it! So Easy! Our volunteer team will enter them. When we reach $150,000, we earn $1,000 for our school!
Paper Gator: Did you know our school has a paper gator? It is located on the east side of the building in the bus loop. Feel free to drop off the below items at your convenience. Our school earns money just for recycling! Please remember not to drop off items during our bus times of 8:15am-9am and 3:15pm-4pm. Thank you!!

Community Events
Fall Fest
Jamestown Harbor Church will be hosting a Fall Fest for the community on Saturday, October 26, from 1-3 pm at Jamestown Lower Elementary School. The event will include carnival games, face painting, costume contest, cake walk, family photo booth, snacks and drinks, and of course lots of candy! We'd invite you to join us for this free family event!
Oct. 12, 10am-12pm. Hager Park Church is partnering with Feeding America West Michigan to provide a Mobile Food
Distribution. The food distribution will take place at Hager Park Church’s parking lot, located at 2635 Bauer Road in Jenison. Sign-in is required, although the food is FREE to anyone that needs it. There will be a large assortment of food, consisting of fresh seasonal produce and other high-quality grocery items.
Reminders from the Office
Late/Tardies: All students coming in to the building after 8:50am, need to be signed in by a parent/guardian. If they are not signed in, they will receive an unexcused tardy.
End of day changes: We know that things come up and sometimes families have to make changes to how their kids are going home. Please make your best effort to let the office know of these changes before 3:00pm. The office is very busy at the end of day, and changes after 3pm are difficult to communicate to the classroom teacher. Thank you for your help with this!
