Knights on the Run is This Week!
This all-school fundraiser will provide a large portion of the PTA funds for the 2019 - 2020 school year.
Money raised will allow Washington PTA to provide school programs such as: Field Trips, Science Enrichment Programs, Art Smart, Cultural Arts Assemblies, Book Fairs, Field Day, Spring Fling, and so many others.
In the past, we funded many updates to Washington's library furniture to better meet the needs of our students. Our PTA is happy to be able to provide so much for our students. The library is used by every student on a daily basis. The PTA's goal this year is to raise enough money to not only fund the above programs, but to again be able to donate money to Washington to finish our library project.

Thinking Ahead to Halloween
A letter will soon come home regarding the Halloween festivities that will occur on Thursday, October 31st, but I wanted to share a few pieces of information with you early:
- Students may NOT bring candy or other edible treats to distribute to classmates. Party food is provided by the PTA party volunteers who communicate with teachers regarding allergies and other food restrictions.
- With the exception of morning kindergarten, students may not wear their costumes to school in the morning. Teachers will allow students to put costumes on prior to the afternoon parade. Parents may pick up their children at lunch if they prefer their children put costumes on at home.
- Costumes should be school-appropriate. They should not be overly graphic, scary or violent. Weapon-look-a-like accessories cannot be brought to school. Students' faces cannot be completely covered; we need to be able to identify all students.
Please contact Mrs. Craig with any questions at jennifer.craig@cusd200.org
