End of Quarter is HERE!
Wow, this is AMAZING! Next week, October 19, is the end of our first quarter. There is no school on that day for the kids as the teachers prepare their report cards. Report Cards will be coming home October 30, just in time for Halloween and Parent/Teacher conferences. If you have any questions or if you do not already know how your child is doing at school, please contact your child's teacher. We don't want any surprises on Halloween.
The Fall Carnival is coming faster than I am ready for as well. It is October 26th from 6pm to 9pm. Kids are encouraged to wear their costumes if they wish that night. Also on Halloween night, during the Trunk or Treat, is another opportunity for them to get dressed up. BUT... only students in Pre-K through 3rd grade can wear costumes to school on Halloween. So please be sure to prep your kids. We will remind them too.
We already have several donations on display for our prize give away during the Carnival. If you have a prize that you would be willing to donate (anything from etched glass to a new tool box) please contact us at 260-1345 or just drop it by.
A couple other fund raisers are about to ramp up as well. Turkey Bingo- November 16th, and our Cash Raffle- December 6th, taking place. We try to do all of our fundraising in the Fall. These funds support the PTO which in turns supports a lot of our field trips and special events, which in turn makes Tustumena a special place to be a part of.
Thank you.

From our Library
Please visit our book fair web page at http://www.scholastic.com/bf/tustumenaelementaryschool to sign up for volunteer times to help out at the book fair and keep it open during Public Library times from 2 to 6 p.m. Our book fair will run October 22 thru November 6th.
Our online book fair runs Oct. 14 thru Oct. 27. You can shop for many more books online than we will have in our book fair. They have adult books as well as children’s online. The books/items that you order online will ship free to the school. This is a great way for grandparents, aunts & uncles or whoever to do Christmas shopping.
