50th Day Sock Hop
On Thursday, November 12th the first graders will celebrate the 50th Day of School with a 50's Sock Hop. The 1st graders will go back in time and learn about what it was like in the 50’s. At our Sock Hop, we will listen to some of the hit songs from the 50’s and will learn some of the dance moves of the 50's like the twist and jitterbug. To make the day extra fun, we are asking that students come dressed in ‘50’s’ style attire. Be creative. Boys can roll up their jeans to show off their white socks, roll the sleeves of a white t shirt, wear a jean or leather jacket and slick back their hair. Girls can wear a poodle skirt or long skirt, bobby socks, wear a jean or leather jacket, tie a scarf around their neck and wear a high pony tail. Start thinking about those outfits now. It is a super fun day for the kids! Mark your calendars and don't miss the fifties FUN!

GRANDPARENT'S DAY AND THANKSGIVING FEAST
Dear Parents,
On Wednesday, November 25th at 9:30 a.m., our first grade students will participate in a Thanksgiving Feast. This year, we will combine it with our Grandparent Celebration and invite grandparents to join the students for our feast. We are hoping that more grandparents will be able to join us as they visit for the holidays. We will ask grandparents to adopt a student for the day for those grandparents who can not come. Students will make and dress in headbands and vests or pilgrim hats and sit down together for a feast of fun. We need your help in donating the ingredients for our feast. If you would like to contribute any items for our feast, please sign up on SIGN-UP GENIUS for the things you would be interested in sending. Please plan for a minimum of 50 students and grandparents. Thank you in advance for your donations and help! FYI No lunch will be served that day so this will serve as a snack to hold them over.
9:30 students arrive
