New Information
Spirit Week is here! Check on the flier with all the information. We are learning facts about Healthy Bodies and Healthy Minds during Spirit Week! Reminder: We do not wear costumes on Halloween, we will wear PJs per our spirit week. We will have a book character dress up day in the Spring.
The Color Run is Thursday!!!! Keep the fundraising coming! Check out all the information in the Color Run Newsletter, sign up to volunteer, and pre-register for a volunteer tag so you can skip the line.
The Springdale Fire Department shared about Fire Safety with our 1st-5th graders. Students are invited to create a map of their house (with their parents). Maps should have the smoke detectors, multiple exits, and safe meeting place marked. Put child's name, teacher's name, parent signature on the back and turn into the office by Friday, October 31st. The BEST Fire Escape plan will be chosen and that student will ride in a fire truck to school one day.
Thank you to Coach Mitchell and Coach Moppin for coaching our running club! The last race is Wednesday but we do not have any more practices. Way to go runners!
Note From The PTA 📚
It is time for the Color Run! Be sure to keep fundraising- paper packets and online packets have been sent out! Check out all the information in the Color Run Newsletter, sign up to volunteer, and pre-register for a volunteer tag so you can skip the line.
