Griz and Dr. Mhiripiri-Reed during the Walk-a-thon
Walk-a-thon
The Walk-a-thon was yet again a huge success. Last count was over $42,000. Thank you for helping promote the event and for enduring the craziness of Friday.
Since we met our goals, I will be sleeping on the roof on Tuesday night, 8+ staff have agreed to sleep in the school, and the whole school will do a Comfy Cloths Day on Wednesday!
Please share with students that a story will be read by me from the roof of the school starting around 7:30/7:45 pm on Tuesday night, whenever Kindergarten Information night (6:30-7:30) is completed.
I know it is a lot to ask for staff to sleep overnight at school with families, pets, commitments, and just the fact that a good night sleep is soooo needed. Thanks again to those who have volunteered to participate. Our students really dig these incentives!

Data Meetings
Data Meetings will take place this Monday, Thursday and Friday. As an Elementary Principal team, we prioritized our full participation and attendance at these meetings for this year. I will be in the building and available if an emergency arises or a high-need event comes up.
Conference Sign Up
Teachers - the links to sign up for conferences is on our web and was sent to families via Connect Ed. If you have families that do not have email, Connie already notified you. Please contact any families who do not have email or access to SignUp Genius to arrange a conference time. Sign up for fall conferences will close at midnight on Sunday, October 14.

I'm also happy to announce that we have a new volunteer to be Griz this year during the event...the identity of the individual, unfortunately, will not be released.
