Student Council Sponsored Turkey Pumpkin Decorating Contest
Student Council is putting on a pumpkin turkey decorating contest. The templets and instructions went home with student classroom items at the beginning of the week along with a small pumpkin in order for them to come up with THE MOST creative turkey pumpkin ever! students are allowed to use whatever strikes their fancy to jazz up their pumpkin turkey. Emailed pictures of your creation will be due to your teacher no later than Monday, November 16th. The chosen favorite for each grade will get a special prize sent home on Monday, November 23rd. Have fun!
After School Cross Country Skiing
Anne Love will be the coach this year and she is looking for a helper who is experienced with sizing to help size kids next month in preparation for beginning the ski program.
We are hoping to start our Skiing program on Mondays or Wednesdays after Winter Break. We also need parent helpers once the ski program starts. How many helpers we have will determine how many skiers we can have. Please contact Anne at alove@kpbsd.k12.ak.us or call the school office.
