Care and Share Update
As of Friday, Golden Bears have donated 4, 510 items!! You are AMAZING!
Our school goal is 6,000 items. We need 1, 490 items to be donated on Monday to meet our goal.
Winning Class will earn an extra recess! A-2 is currently in the lead!
When we meet our school goal, Mrs. Godfrey will be dressing up in a silly, Thanksgiving theme costume and host a special dance party!! Let's go Golden Bears!
LOST AND FOUND - ITEMS WILL BE DONATED NOVEMBER 17TH!
Lost and Found
It is that time of year, freezing in the morning and warm in the afternoon. You send your kid(s) to school with a jacket in the morning and the come home without it. GOOD NEWS!! The jacket, along with the water bottle, lunch box, hat, sweatshirt, and all the other things that have gone missing, are likely to be found in the MPR! The Lost and Found is over flowing with items!
Please take some time over the next two weeks to stop by the MPR to find the lost items. Despite appearances, the MPR is open. You can access the MPR through the side door. Please let the campus supervisor know you need to check the lost and found and they will direct you.
We are running out of room to store these items. Although we usually wait to donate items not claimed until December but due to the volume of items and lack of space, items will be donated after 11/17.
LABEL ALL ITEMS AND AVOID THE LOST AND FOUND COMPLETELY!!
School Breakfast and Lunches
All students can receive free breakfast and lunch in the cafeteria. Menus will be posted weekly in this newsletter. However, menus are subject to change so families are encouraged to check the website directly.
Breakfast is served from 7:40am - 8:05am.
