We will be going outside for recess as long as the temperature (with wind chill) is above 0 F and it is not raining. With that in mind, please make sure your child is dressed to go outside on days when it is cold, snowy or windy. Students should bring outerwear to school in a bag to put on before recess. Please make sure they have hats, gloves, scarves, snow pants and boots if they want to play in the snow. Don’t forget to label your child’s outerwear so it does not end up in the Lost and Found.

CARING EAGLES - BIG HEARTS OF FOX VALLEY (K-5) angie.miki@yahoo.com, meaghanbishop@hotmail.com, mmpihl@gmail.com

Thank you to all of the families that have signed up to sponsor a child! We are still in need of sponsorship for 7 more children. Are you able to help make Christmas special for an underprivileged child in our school district? This year the Norton Creek Giving Tree is teaming up with the Caring Eagles and we will be working with Big Hearts of Fox Valley on their Christmas Sponsorship program. Many of these kids are in need of basic things like winter coats, boots, gloves, socks, etc. Sponsorship entails purchasing and donating at least 3 items from a child's wish list, totaling $50. Feel free to buddy up with other families, friends or neighbors to fulfill one list. Wish lists will be made available on Monday, 11/11. We also have the opportunity to participate in the gift wrapping party on Tuesday, 12/10, held at Excel Automotive Repair in St. Charles. To sign up to sponsor a child or to volunteer at the gift wrapping party, please log on to the PTO website at www.nortoncreekpto.org and click on My Account, then Volunteer/Make a Purchase.
