Quantum Parent Bulletin #14

People running and getting colored powder thrown on them

This Friday is the big event! We're excited for our students and staff to have a blast in our Color Run. Please note that getting sprayed with powder will be optional for students and since that is only one aspect of the event, everyone should be able to participate.

We encourage all students to bring a change of clothes, a towel, water bottle, and possibly goggles.

We need a few more VOLUNTEERS for the Color Run Celebration on 11/7!

With Veterans Day approaching, we are excited to honor our Veterans and Active-Duty family and friends. We would love to honor parents, grandparents, aunts/uncles, anyone connected to our students who has served or is currently serving!

We will be setting up a special wall of honor in our Great Hall where we will post photos as well as inspirational stories and historical facts.

We will also be holding a special Veterans Day event on Monday, November 10 at 8:30 a.m. where guests are invited to visit your child's classroom (or multiple classrooms if you have more than one child at Quantum) to view a slideshow and share about their military experience.

Throughout the month of November, our students will also be putting together care packages with personal notes and goodies to send to those serving to encourage and thank them for their sacrifice.

Click Here to submit photos as well as sign up to visit classrooms during the Veterans Day event. Even if you or your guest cannot visit classrooms, we would still love to learn more about him/her as well as get a photo so please fill out the form.

Please email Mrs. Murphy at amurphy@eusd.org or Mr. Lyche at jlyche@eusd.org with any questions.
