Cedar Grove Friday Flash
October 6, 2023
Dear Cedar Grove Families,
We are excited to once again host our annual Pumpkin Book Character Contest -- only we're back live! All pumpkin entries will be housed in the media center on Friday, October 27, where they will be viewed by students throughout the day. The contest will be held with the PTA's support on Saturday during the Harvest Festival. Please make sure you read the flier with all the participant details.
Our fall parties will take place on Tuesday, October 31st. We would like to remind parents that due to our limited parking, only room parent leads and helpers who signed up for these roles will be coming into the school building to prepare and oversee the festivities. Also, although the fall parties will take place on Halloween, please note that this celebration does not include costumes. Your children will be sure to enjoy the planned fall theme activities and special treats.
Also as a reminder, there is no school for students on Monday, October 9, as this is a professional day for staff. Have a wonderful weekend!

Our first week of October has been busy and we're just getting started! As always, the October media monthly has been updated with information that revolves around the media center and the events that we promote. For example, we honored Breast Cancer Awareness by having our first pink out Wednesday of the month and look forward to several more. Please also read the information about our Great Pumpkin event! Have a restful weekend!
