Weekly Update

Front Office Updates
One more day for Original Artworks to be sent in! Last chance!
Next week is Thanksgiving. There will be no school Wednesday, November 24th-Friday November 26th. Please have a safe holiday and break.
The weather is getting colder, but we will continue to bring the students outside for meals. We will continue to do this until the weather is uncomfortable or too wet. The buses will also be keeping the windows open to allow for good ventilation. It can get pretty cold on the buses! Please try to dress your students appropriately. If your family needs assistance with coats, or hats & mittens, please reach out to our front office.
I wanted to take a minute to let you know that November 19th will be my last day at Pelham. I have accepted a para job in early childhood education. After 8 years in preschool and kindergarten, this is where my heart is. It has been so fun to watch your children grow over the years and I will really miss seeing them everyday!
Please stay in touch!!! sagescott8484@gmail.com
All the best,

By now you should have received a packet for each of your students with their beautiful artwork in it, as well as all the information about the Original Works fundraiser.
Each year we like to offer this service to families to allow them to purchase products with their student’s artwork on it. This PTO sponsored fundraiser supports the school in many ways.
If you choose to purchase, please return your student’s artwork, order form, and payment in the provide plastic bag by Friday, Nov 12, 2021.
If you have any questions, please reach out to the parent coordinator, Leanne Hunt at huntl@arps.org
Many thanks,
