Updates and Deadlines

Hi Parents,

I recently sent out a form inviting you to have lunch with our class and to shop at our Scholastic Book Fair on October 2nd. In order for this to go as smoothly as possible, our lunch staff needs to know how many parents will be attending. This form is due by Friday, October 25. If you did not receive a form and would like to come, please either send a note or post a comment at the bottom of this post. I hope that all of you will be able to make it because every year our Book Fair has some neat and cool books, games, and toys for the students to enjoy. However, if you are not able to make it, our Book Fair starts on Wednesday, September 30 and ends Tuesday, October 6th. You may come at anytime during school hours to purchase items for your child.

The "Canned Food Drive" starts Monday, September 28th and ends on Friday, October 2. The class from each grade level who brings in the most cans will have a Pizza Party! So, when your out grocery shopping, please pick up a couple of extra 0.50 cent cans and send it to school. Thanks in advance.

There will be no school on Friday, October 9.

A.R. deadline is Monday, October 5. If your child is not at least half way in meeting his/her goal, please encourage them to read and take test.
