The Weekly Buzz

Dear Families,

We’re finally feeling those crisp fall temperatures—and it’s safe to say that autumn has officially arrived! The cooler weather has brought a fresh energy to our days, and the students are enjoying the seasonal changes all around campus.

We're especially excited for the upcoming Trunk or Treat event this Saturday at the High School! This is always a highlight of the season, and we can’t wait to see the creative trunks, fun games, and—of course—the amazing costumes! It's sure to be a fantastic time for families and a great way to celebrate together.

Thank you for all you do to support our school community. Until next week—stay cozy and enjoy the fall vibes!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Kristine Kefor, Principal & Mrs. Cassey Monte, Assistant Principal

#WeAreDR!

This October, Palmer River Elementary School is partnering with the East Bay Community Action Program to host a Socktober Drive, encouraging students and families to donate new socks of all sizes.

Collection bins will be placed in classrooms, making it easy for students to drop off their donations throughout the month. Each week, members of the school’s 4th Grade Student Leadership Program, known as the Community Connectors, will count and empty the bins. The school-wide total will be announced every Friday, building excitement and encouraging participation.

All collected socks will be donated to local shelters to help support individuals and families in need as the colder months approach.

Palmer River is proud to join this community effort and looks forward to seeing students and families come together to make a difference during Socktober.
