Anthem Church is hosting a fun family event Candy Palooza on Sunday, October 25th at their church - 7777 S Garnett Road, Broken Arrow.

This is a fun day around the church for the whole family and Pastor Andrew Hahn will be preaching. There will be an "After Party" following both services including inflatables, free food, games, and tons of CANDY! Costumes are welcome and encouraged!

The service times are 9:15am and 11:00am, so we anticipate the After Party will start around 10:30am. Anthem Church would love to see McAuliffe students and families there!

You should have received a copy of your child's report card in their backpack on Thursday. Please review the information and sign the envelope and have your child return it to their teacher. Also if your child has missed 5 or more days of school there will be an itemized attendance sheet. If you have any questions or concerns please be sure to contact your child's teacher.

Families help us celebrate Red Ribbon Week by participating in our daily dress up themed days.

Your student is coming home with a $10 for U envelope in support of USEF. Together we can show how small acts of kindness can collectively make a meaningful difference. Return completed envelopes by October 30 to the school office or learn more and donate online at https://www.unionfoundation.org/10foru. All donations directly benefit the students and teachers at Union Public Schools. Thank you!

Families with children newborn to 3 years old are invited to join us for Baby Book Club on October 21st, 28th and November 4th, 11th and 18th at 12:45pm at the McAuliffe Library. See information below.

Families- If you signed up to be a member of PTA you will be receiving your PTA membership card via Talking Points this next week. Your membership card gives you access to discounts to various stores throughout the Tulsa/Broken Arrow area. If you purchased a shirt with your membership they should be arriving the first part of November.

Families - We are celebrating our Books Alive Day on Friday, October 30th.

Families - We are so excited to announce that Yuyi Morales will be presenting at McAuliffe Elementary School on October 30th. Our students will be given the opportunity to read and discuss several of her books in the upcoming weeks.

Families - Save the date of Thursday, November 19th - 4:45-6:30pm. Join us for a fun, hands-on evening where families learn how everyday board games build strong math skills.

Families - Just a reminder that it is VERY important for your child to attend school EVERY DAY. A child should only stay home if they are sick running a fever or vomiting. Please see the information below.

If your student will be absent you MUST call or text the school to let us know why? Please be sure to send any doctor's notes to school or on the Talking Points app.

Families - Just a reminder that the building does not open until 8am. Please make sure that you are staying with your child until 8am as there is no supervision. If your student is a walker please make sure they are mapping their walking time to arrive at 8am. Also if you need to get your student early from school or change the mode of transportation you must call the office by 2:30pm on regular school days and 1:30pm on early release days. These procedures are in place to ensure student safety. Thank you for your help with keeping students safe.
