John Muir's Newsletter
Week of Oct. 26-30, 2026 ( No Mini Days! )
SPIRIT WEEK!
no scary face paint, no blood, no masks, no weapons, no costumes we can't fit that would prevent us from sitting comfortably into our desks!
It's Red Ribbon Week too! A flare of focus of healthy living, aware of the harmful effects of dangerous and illegal drugs. Say NO to drugs!
Community Events
Community events, such as our upcoming HarvestFest, are only possible with the help of many. Thank you to our PTA and those who've signed up to help. I believe more help is needed. Please consider a 30 minute window.
Volunteers receive free admission to the Harvest Fest. Parents and high school students can sign up to volunteer for various tasks, including Trunk or Treat, using the link below:
Tokay High Community Event
Tuesday's Trunk or Treat at Tokay High!
( repeat ) Inviting ALL Veterans Who Served in the U.S. Armed Forces - Nov. 10
Before we get the day off on Wednesday, Nov. 11 we should know why! This national holiday recognizes and celebrates the dedication and contribution of our citizens who served in the U.S. Armed Forces. Our morning assembly from 9-9:30 on Tuesday, Nov. 10 provides us the opportunity to say Thank You to our Veterans! I hope many of our veterans can attend. And if the the military uniform still fits, we'd love to see you in it!
Harvest Fest: Join us Friday, October 30, from 5:00–7:30 p.m. for John Muir’s “Muir After Dark”
