Pumpkin Projects!
Please remember.... these pumpkins will come home with your child tomorrow (Friday, Nov. 4th) They cannot stay in the building over the weekend. When the air is turned off, it causes the pumpkins to decompose quickly! Please keep this in mind when picking your child up on Friday. They may need some help getting their pumpkin into the car on Friday afternoon :)
Make sure you check our our Homeroom App for photos of these awesome projects!
Book Character Dress Up Day!
On Friday, November 11th we will be having a Book Character Dress Up Day to kick off our Scholastic Book Fair! Your child can choose a book character and come dressed at that character next Friday, November 11th!
Here are the guidelines:
- Must be a character from a book - not just any costume!
- Scary monsters or beasts are not permitted
- No masks are to be worn. Minimal face painting is allowed (e.g, whiskers, nose, freckles, etc., but no full-face makeup)
- No weapons or props of any kind, including toys!
Blessings in a Backpack Fundraiser
The FSA Service Learning Clubs announced a wonderful partnership with Blessings in a Backpack, a local nonprofit that aims to curb childhood hunger by providing food to at-risk children in our community.
Between now and the end of this semester, FSA students will be asked to donate individual, serving-sized, non-perishable items in their homerooms to help fight childhood hunger in our local community. Collections will continue from November 1 through December 6.
