Quantum Parent Bulletin #13

A huge thank to parent Erin Clark along with our YMCA leaders Teresa and Bianca, and our PTA President, Genia Basile, for organizing the trunk or treat event this past Friday. Also, thank you to all of the volunteers who helped with set up, hosting a trunk, and cleaning up afterwards. The event was a huge success thanks to everyone who helped!

Families gather outside at night in front of a school building decorated with large light-up Halloween inflatables, including ghosts, pumpkins, and a monster popping out of the ground. Children in costumes are walking and talking with adults.

A person sits in the open trunk of a car decorated like a raffle booth, with large balloons shaped as the numbers 6 and 7 and colorful raffle tickets on display. The setup is lit at night in the school parking lot during the Trunk or Treat event.

A car trunk decorated as a barn and haystack carnival game. Bales of hay fill the truck bed, with animal masks arranged as targets. A child holding glow-stick rings plays the game while adults in costume watch nearby.

A Halloween-themed trunk decorated with purple lighting, skeletons, and a large dragon or monster figure posed at the open back of a car. The display is in the school parking lot at dusk.

A trunk decorated with an Alice in Wonderland theme. The open car is set up as a tea party table with playing cards, clocks, framed character photos, flowers, and string lights.

Red Ribbon Week began in honor of DEA Special Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, who lost his life in 1985 while fighting drug trafficking. Today, Red Ribbon Week continues as the nation’s longest-running drug prevention program, encouraging students to make safe, positive choices for their future.

Our classrooms will be holding meaningful discussions and activities that highlight the importance of being drug-free and making healthy choices. Additionally, we will hold the following Spirit Days to have fun reinforcing the concept of living drug free:

Tuesday 10/28 - Sock it to Drugs- Wear crazy socks!
Wednesday 10/29 - Team up Against Drugs -Sports Day!
Thursday 10/30 - Follow your Dreams - Wear Pajamas!
Friday 10/31 - Halloween or Red Day - Wear your Halloween costume or wear anything Red!

With Veterans Day approaching, we are excited to honor our Veterans and Active-Duty family and friends.

We will be setting up a special wall of honor for those who have served or are currently serving where we will post photos as well as inspirational stories and historical facts.

We will also be holding a special Veterans Day celebration on Monday, November 10 at 8:30 where guests will be invited to visit classrooms to view a slideshow and share about their military experience.

Our students will also be putting together care packages with personal notes and goodies to send to those serving to encourage and thank them for their sacrifice.

Please watch for a separate email coming out later this week about this special celebration and ways that you can be involved.
