Book Character Day Returns - 10/31!
Dyer Elementary is excited to announce the return of Book Character Dress Up Day on Wednesday, October 31. On that day, each student is invited to come to school dressed up as a character from a favorite book. Since this is a literacy celebration, the characters should come from a story that was a book first.
Please do not feel like you need to purchase a costume. A simple homemade costume is great!
Your child should bring a copy of the book the character appears in or a picture of the front cover of the book.
Each teacher will select one student to be interviewed as their character by Mrs. Langford & Mr. DiFilippo. In addition, each class will vote for their "Favorite Character" and "Most Original/Creative Character" (think creative use of materials.) That makes for a total of 3 prize winners per class, those students will get to choose a book from the Bookmobile!
PAWS Updates!
Now through Monday, 10/29 students can submit their tickets for a chance to win a free book from the Bookmobile on Book Character Day. We will draw 15 names per day, for over 100 chances to win!
Our next PAWS party is a BINGO party, and will be held on Friday, 11/2 during recess! The cost to attend is 15 tickets and the deadline to submit them is Friday, 10/26! We will also need parent volunteers to help distribute snacks and prizes. If you can help during your child's recess time, please sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e094eaeae29a3f49-november

Birthday Wishes in Big Lights!
We will continue our PAWS program school-wide. The goal of this program is to not only notice positive behavior, but also to reward that behavior. You can help support the funding of this program, and wish your child a happy birthday on our school marquee at the same time. It's a win-win! For a $5 contribution, a Happy Birthday message along with your child's first name and last initial will be displayed on our marquee for three days during the week of your child's birthday. Summer birthday? Not a problem, We will display summer birthday messages during the last week of school and during their birthday week. NOTE: Your child's name will be displayed on their birth date as well as the day immediately before and after. Orders can be placed via Mypaymentsplus.com under the School Events tab. Please note, requests will be processed the next business day.
