Book Fair Week – November 18 – November 22
Want to help during the Book Fair? Sign up to help with our annual fall book fair event. We need many volunteers to make this event a success. We need a minimum of 6 volunteers for every class time during the buying times. We run 4 cash registers and also need help bagging, locating books and helping students count out money.
Book Fair Take Down – Friday, November 22 at Noon
Skip the gym on Monday 11/22 and come get your workout while you help take down the book fair. Light and heavy lifting as well as many other jobs that need to be done in order to transform the book fair back into a library.
Thanksgiving Feast Information
Our Thanksgiving Feast tickets are on sale now. Click here to purchase your tickets. The Feast takes place on Thursday, November 21st (schedule below) and is sponsored by the Fuel Café.
On Monday, we will receive our final list of tickets purchased. We will send home pre-purchased ticket wristbands in an envelope with your child in his/her Tuesday folder. Please watch for these. Guests will be entered into our visitor/Raptor system ahead of time. The wristband serves as your visitor pass on this day only. Any guests not previously scanned in our system can come by school before next Thursday to have their driver's license scanned, or sign in that day (although it will be busy, so plan accordingly).
When you arrive, you will be checked in through the foyer and proceed to your child's line starting place. Line 1 is along the cafe windows. Line 2 will be along the stage and line 3 will enter through the bus loop/extended care doors. We will have signs.
We ask that parents do not bring outside food to the school on this day. Students are welcome to bring their regular lunch but we do ask parents not to bring in fast food on this special day.
Students will purchase their meal using the funds on their student account. You do not need to purchase a ticket for your student, but they do need to have money on their lunch account.
Please have your child wear his/her class shirt on Thursday which will aide in line-up procedures. While here, please refrain from allowing your child onto the playground. It is closed without staff supervision.
Volunteers, we need your help organizing feast tickets, as well as decorating the cafeteria. Sign up here.

Your child has spent the last month designing and conquering obstacle courses themselves to get ready for this special event.
Due to space and safety concerns, please do not bring siblings to this event. It is for parents and guardians only. You may RSVP to this event and have your ID badge printed and ready for you in the office. We hope to see you Friday, November 22nd. Come show your kids you are the Ultimate Ninja Warrior.
