Carus School News
Hello Carus community,
I hope you all enjoyed the perfect fall weather this past weekend! We had a great day of Halloween, Día de los Muertos, and harvest celebrations last Friday, including a pumpkin patch complete with face painting and games —since kindergarteners weren't able to take their traditional field trip to the pumpkin patch, their teachers brought the pumpkin patch to them! Thanks to all our students and staff, who did a great job planning and enjoying festivities safely.
Enjoy the rest of your week,
Sam Thompson
Canned Food Drive
It's time for our annual Canned Food Drive! From November 15 to 19 we'll be collecting food items to build Thanksgiving boxes for our families in need this holiday season. If you are in need of a food box for your family, please email Kristin Watts at wattsk@canby.k12.or.us for more information.
Each grade level is being asked to provide specific items to ensure that we have well-balanced holiday meals as well as ready-made meals and snacks. We'll also be collecting coins/cash and gift cards to add to our Giving Tree gift boxes for the winter holidays.
Students can drop off items in Room 18 before or after school or deliver them to their classroom teacher between November 15 and 19. They can drop off coins/cash and gift cards for the winter holiday gift boxes anytime now through December 10. Thank you in advance for your generosity this holiday season!
Jogathon Success
Thanks again to everyone who helped us not just meet, but exceed, our Jogathon fundraising goal! Students celebrated on Friday by treating several staff members to a pie in the face.
The majority of Jogathon prizes have been delivered to teachers and should be coming home this week. The $100 balls are still on their way and will be sent home as soon as they arrive. If you have questions about Jogathon prizes, please contact the Carus PTA at caruspta@gmail.com.
