Principal's message - week 11
Greetings North Plains Families!
As you know, we have the Harvest Festival on Oct. 27 and many volunteers are needed! Please use the following link to sign up to volunteer! http://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040b4caca92aa64-harvest
Our Right Brain Artist, Karie Oakes, will be here the weeks of Oct. 23 and Nov. 13 to help our students make artifacts out of clay. At least 2 volunteers per class are needed to help, and we also need some folks to help run the kiln! Karie will stay on Monday the 23rd to train volunteers on the kiln, so if you are interested and able, please plan to be at the school at 2:15 that day and she will make sure we know what to do! Here is the link to sign up! http://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040B4CACA92AA64-right
Halloween is coming and questions are coming up about costumes. Last year we allowed all students (and staff) to dress up and it was a lot of fun so we plan to do it again this year! The only restrictions are that students need to get ready at home, not bring makeup or other things to school, and costumes need to be school appropriate including no weapons or excessive gore. Also, to be respectful to our LGBTQ community, there is no "cross dressing" allowed. If you have questions, please ask!
Don't forget about the Social Media safety information night at Patterson this Thursday at 6:00 PM. This for parents of students in grades 4-6, but no one will be turned away. There will be food (pizza I believe) and childcare. I hope to see you there!
The last day to get in tee shirt orders is Monday, Oct. 15 - I will get them in the mail that afternoon! I believe you can still order online.
Have an awesome weekend!
Becky
