Odds and Ends
It looks like we are in the midst of a Great Red Ribbon week!
Hope everyone is planning to sport their pajamas for Thursday and looking forward to crazy hair day on Friday!
We have our assembly Thursday morning with Rowdy from the Cowboys.
We will start calling down grade levels after announcements. 5th grade can send on down to the gym after announcements.
We apologize again for the confusion regarding the upcoming luncheons...
To set the record straight:
We are looking forward to our Spooky Spud luncheon on Halloween, October 31!
Be sure to sign-up if you haven't already.
Also, our amazing PTA will provide lunch for the staff on Friday, November 8! How sweet is that!
Fall Carnival and Dance Cancelled
We will reschedule an event in the spring.
Thanksgiving Food Drive
Kindness and Caring X 250!
It is also a wonderful time to teach children empathy and how small acts of kindness can make a big difference.
Our can food drive will be the month of November. Coach B has some fun ideas of showing children how small acts of kindness can build something incredible when we work together!
Our goal is to donate 250 cans. One per family. We look forward to a drawing at the end of November to read to classes if we reach our school-wide goal. Just like our peanut butter campaign, this is not a competition between classes, but rather a celebration of our school community working and coming together to make a difference!
Thank you for sharing during Circle Time and with your grade level families this opportunity for our students to 'be the difference in the world.'
