This Friday, The McBain Ramblers will be
playing in the first round of playoffs against Oscoda! If they wish to wear green & gold this Friday
that is great too!
We will be having a PJ, popcorn, and a
movie day the day after Halloween. To
celebrate all our great accomplishments for the month and to wind down after
all the Halloween buzz.
Please keep all the Halloween candy at
home and not as lunch treats as we are trying to promote healthier
choices. Thank you!
Please remember to dress your kiddos for the weather. It’s a good idea this time of year to always
have hats, gloves, an extra sweatshirt, and extra socks in their
backpacks. Warm winter coats are needed
when the temperature is below 40 degrees.
Once there is snow on the playground they will need snow boots and snow
pants to play out in the snow, otherwise they may have to stand by the wall or
on the pavement. Please remember to put
their names on everything!
Please also practice letting your sons and daughters get
themselves ready to go outside. They
need to be able to put on their snow pants, boots, coats, hats, and gloves all
by themselves by January. I will help
and teach them to be as independent as they can be. So please start practicing now.
Veteran’s Day
As Veteran’s day approaches I ask
every student to ask their families if they have a veteran in their
family.
If you do
Living, currently serving, or in memory of, I respectfully ask for you to fill
out the attached form so we can create a bulletin board honoring our veterans
within our families.
Please no
real photographs just copies of the originals would be great. If you need more than one just let me know.
