Thank you to all the parents who came to the October PTA Association meeting last Tuesday. Mrs. O’Berg shared great info on being prepared for an earthquake and other emergencies. Prepare your home and family. Students practice at school. Make sure to practice at home. If you missed the meeting and would like the information, stop by the Parent Center.
There will be no PTA Association meeting in November or December. Event updates will be coming by email.
Reflections: “Together We Can…”
The due date for the Reflections art projects has been extended to November 5. Please contact Mrs. O’Berg with any questions.
Halloween Parade and Pumpkin Decoration Contest:
If your student is entering a decorated pumpkin to the contest please drop off the pumpkins in the Auditorium from 7:30 am to 7:55 am. Please make sure the students name, grade and room number is written on the back of the pumpkin. The winners will be announced at the costume parade at the end of the day. Come back to school in the evening at 6:30 pm for fun Halloween arts and crafts. Come in costume, students and parents and share an evening of Halloween fun.
5th Grade News:
The 5th graders are selling Boo Grams. $1 each card and a lollipop attached. They will be passed to the recipients on Friday. Turn in the Boo Grams order to the office or buy a Boo Gram in the lobby after school on Tuesday or Wednesday. This is to support 5th grade activities and their culmination.
Other Fundraising News:
Mrs. Lacour has submitted Germain in the “Our School Needs” contest. We are asking for money for the YMCA PE program. Also, we need people to RATE the entry with 5 stars today, tomorrow and Tuesday. The higher our rating, the better chance we have to make the finals.
