Thank you to all parents who either helped out at our Halloween party or were able to be at the school to watch the parade.  Thank you for your patients too as we had a couple snags with the school parade. 

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 return the form anytime this week for our bulletin board.  You do not need to have a picture of your veteran, just filling out the form will suffice.

If you do have a picture to attach, please send in a copy of their original picture on regular paper, as we do not want to lose or damage your original photos.

Thank you for your help with this project!
