Congratulations to Santino Abgarianin in Mrs. Barr's 3rd grade class for being our very first Mystery Motivator for the new school year. Santino was awarded a certificate, gift and special Schweitzer CARES t-shirt.

WHO WILL BE OUR NEXT MYSTERY MOTIVATOR ???

St. Mary Parenting Center is offering the “Weekend Back Packs for Kids” for the upcoming school year. The program provides easy to prepare food and snacks for the weekend for your child. The food is purchased through St. Mary Medical Center and is stored at our community center. This is a voluntary program and the family may leave the program at any time.

Your Family must meet at least ONE of the following requirements:

o Child is enrolled in Medical Assistance, CHIP insurance program or be uninsured.

o Child is participating in the free or reduced lunch program, or family is receiving SNAP benefits.

o Family is experiencing a financial hardship such as loss of employment, decrease in working hours or illness.

o Child is receiving social service assistance in the household.

o Your child must reside in Bucks County and be between the ages of 3 -18 years, (can be a senior in high school or trade school if older than 18).

Middletown Fire Marshalls visited our school on Tuesday, October 10th with helpful information on "What's Hot and What's Not" along with a tour of their fire truck. Everyone learned about fire safety and the importance of having a family evacuation plan and how to stop, drop, and roll!

We will be having a Halloween Parade at Schweitzer Elementary School at 2:00 pm on October 31st. Parents will be invited to view the parade, take photos, and wave! We will be sending out locations outlining where parents can stand as well as parking for the event. We're still reviewing logistics now, and we will send something out when we're closer to the parade date. In the event of rain, the afternoon parade will take place in the building for students and staff only.

With the ever-increasing daily theme of aggression and violence in our society, the Schweitzer staff would like to suggest that parents carefully monitor the costume choices worn by students this day. We would request that costume accessories which could be construed as weapons not be part of your child's costume choice. Save make-up, masks, and elaborate accessories for Halloween night.

In an effort to maintain a safe and secure atmosphere during our Halloween celebration, we ask the following:

• Students are not permitted to go home to get ready for the parade and are not dismissed early directly following the parade.
• No costumes may be worn to school on the bus.

In order to keep the day in proper perspective and in a secure and educational environment the above procedures are necessary. Thank you for your support and cooperation.

Some classrooms will be having classroom parties following the parade. If you plan on volunteering to help with a classroom party, you MUST have clearances and be on the list provided by the homeroom teacher to be a part of the celebration. Be sure to visit our district website for more information about obtaining volunteer clearances: https://www.neshaminy.org/domain/2376
