PCK Weekly News

It will be no tricks and all treats at PCK tomorrow, October 28th. "Boo-tiful" costumes of all kinds will be on display in our school-wide parade and Trunk or Treat event. To get you in the spirit, here is a bit of candy related trivia. Candy corn has existed for more than 100 years. According to legend, a Wunderlee Candy Company employee named George Renninger invented the confection in the 1880s. The Goelitz Candy Company (now Jelly Belly Candy Company) started producing candy corn around the turn of the century and continues the tradition today.

Some Important reminders for a fun and organized day tomorrow:

• Costumes must be such that students are able to use the bathroom independently

• Masks are allowed to be worn in the parade only

• Costumes may not include any weapons or be gory in nature

• Trunk or Treat participants are permitted no earlier than 12:30 pm. Visitors are permitted to arrive no earlier than 1:45 pm.

• Parking is available for visitors around Center Park Loop

Please be sure to drop off your candy or party donations at the front desk with Mrs. Amick.

All donations will go to The Bob Woodruff Foundation as part of our Veterans Day observation. This will be the first year PCK has supported this incredible organization. The Bob Woodruff Foundation ensures that our nation's impacted veterans, service members, and their families, have access to the highest level of support and resources they have earned, for as long as they need it. Donations will be collected at each entrance during morning carpool.

If you have bookmarked or saved the Absence Form that was used last year, please discontinue using it as a means to alert the school if your student will be absent. Please ONLY CALL the front office to report an absence.

PCK is a proud partner with Longmont Dairy’s Milk Caps for Moolah program. Please collect those milk caps, deposit them in our Milk Caps box by the front office at the school. For every cap turned in, we receive 5 cents. Just like boxtops, those milk caps add up quickly! If you have any questions, please contact PTA at ckcspta@gmail.com

Thank you to Safety Dad's John Natoli and Nick Smith for their stellar service this week!
