A Message From Dr. Ricks
Parents and Friends,
The Evergreen orders are in, and a special thanks to Amy Hinkle and team for tallying the orders. We should have a final count soon. Another thank you to Heidi Stoor and her team for a wonderful Fall Festival. We had a record number of families, and several prospective families. Our winners of the cupcake and pumpkin decorating contests are listed below.
By now you should have received your Annual Fund letter. Please take some time this weekend to read through the information and think about your level of support. No gift is too small. As an incentive, the first grade to reach 100% Parent Participation will win a party at Altitude!
Warmly,
Dr. Beth Ricks
Head of School
Fall Festival Recap by Heidi Stoor
Each cupcake was not only awesome but delicious! Top prize for decoration goes to the witches hat- by Rosemary Nolan, congrats!! (But I think the real winners were the lucky ones who got to eat those fabulous sweets !)
All the pumpkin submissions were fabulous, and relieved many accolades and votes, we had a three way tie for people's choice award:
Cookie Monster/Elmo (Mirji Family) Fly Guy ( Brooks Anzalone) and white glamour kitty ( Adair family)
Other fan favorites came from our favorite movies: minions, chewbacca and the inside out crew...
Overall- fantastic submissions!
