Wildcat Weekly- 10/27-10/31

Dear Wildcat Families:

What a week of FUNdraising! It is amazing to hear that we have met our $10,000 goal and the kids are super excited to win a pajama day at school!

I appreciate everyone’s participation in our fundraiser that has helped our school fund various programs and STEM initiatives throughout the years!

Looking ahead, we are anticipating a wonderful Red Ribbon Week! As we engage in teaching our students about positive life choices, we encourage our students to participate in the daily themes to show our spirit and support of a drug free life.

Enjoy this upcoming week of fun and spirit!

Go Wildcats!

Our Student Council has planned a fun Spirit Week to help us celebrate Red Ribbon Week and making healthy, positive choices! Join the fun each day and show your school spirit.

Check out the flyer below for all the daily themes and ideas to participate!

A few friendly reminders for our spooky (but not too spooky!) day:

• 🎉 Parade starts at 9:00 AM! Families are welcome to come watch—just line up behind the cones on the playground.

• 🚪 Gates open at 8:45 AM (after the bell rings) for parents to come in through the upper gate.

• 🙋‍♀️ Volunteers: If you’re helping after the parade, please stop by the office to sign in and wear your volunteer badge.

• 👻 Costume reminder: Some of our littlest friends (Preschool–1st grade) can get scared by super spooky costumes. Please keep things fun and friendly for our parade. Please save the spooky costumes and masks for trick-or-treating at home!

It’s going to be a fang-tastic day! 🕸️🧡

Due to the many allergies and food sensitivities among our students, if you would like to send something in for a treat on 10/31, we request that you send in FOOD FREE options. We encourage items such as pencils, stickers, or bookmarks.

If you are helping with a classroom party and/or activity please refer to the district Smart Snack Standards as you plan. (attached)

A huge roar of thanks to everyone who has donated or shared their fundraising page so far. We are currently at $12,180—let's keep the momentum going to hit our goal of $28,000.

Just a friendly reminder that our monthly PAWS meeting is next week! Grab a cup of coffee (or whatever you're drinking!), log in from your couch, and join us to hear what's planned for the rest of the year.

Teaching children to develop healthy habits with technology is important for their overall physical and mental well-being. A balanced approach to technology helps students thrive both in and out of the classroom.

Families can promote mindful and balanced technology use at home. By establishing these habits early, you help your child build a strong foundation for responsible technology use throughout their life.
