Top 5
5. Cooler Weather: Just a reminder that we go outside for recess unless it is raining or below 5 degrees. Be sure that your students have coats and gloves as needed.
4. Please Remember: Supervision does not start until 8:15. When student are our front before 8:15 there are no adults to monitor activity. We ask students to stand in their grade level lines and not run around making injury or accidents more likely. Please remind your student of this.
3. Soccer Goals: Thank you PTO... We now have soccer goals on our field. Thank you Mr. Allemang for getting the nets up and the anchors in. I know the kids will enjoy using this new playground feature.
2. Did you know? Instruction starts at 8:30. It is really important that students are in their classroom ready to learn when the school day starts. Thank you for your help in getting students to school on time.

Students can bring in coins that they earn by doing extra responsibilities around the house. Students put the coins in other classroom containers. The classroom with the least amount in their container at the end of the week receives a popcorn party. Ezra's goal is to raise $750 for United Way of the Midlands.

Silent Auction
Hi Ezra Families,
We are getting closer to our Silent Auction at Turkey Bingo on November 20th!
We have received numerous generous donations from Ezra families, teachers, and staff, as well as an incredible amount of support from local businesses. We are now in the final stages of putting these wonderful donations together into fun and exciting auction baskets!
But we could use your help! We would love to enhance our baskets with a few additional items from our Amazon Wish List. Any contribution, big or small, would be greatly appreciated.
We also want to share that our silent auction baskets will be displayed at Turkey Bingo, but all bidding will take place online! Each item and basket will have a detailed description, so even if you are unable to attend Turkey Bingo, you can still participate and bid. You will also be able to share the auction website with family and friends who may want to join in the fun and support our PTO.
Please be aware that some group experiences donated by the teachers are a flat fee and there is no bidding required, but spaces are limited. This website will be open on Friday, November 13th.
The bidding for auction items will begin on Wednesday, November 18th and will end at 7:30PM on Friday, November 20th.
Thank you for your continued generosity and commitment to helping our PTO raise funds for our students. We are so grateful for our amazing Ezra community!
Warmly,
The Ezra PTO Silent Auction Committee
