THANK you to our families and community members for making our annual Trunk or Treat a fantastic one! We had more than enough candy to pass out due to your generous donations! Each child will receive a treat bag on Friday filled with goodies to take home. In addition to treat bags, our winning classrooms will be awarded their pizza party. Friday students are invited to wear their costumes, but please keep the masks, fake weapons, and full-face paint at home.

Friday, students are permitted to wear school-appropriate costumes, but must not wear masks, full face paint, nor bring fake weapons. Thanks for partnering with us as we encourage students to make good choices!

We continue to add to our PTO membership. If you're interested in joining, please reach out to your child's homeroom teacher for a registration form. It's $5 to join and we have a lot of fun planning events and finding ways to connect with families. We've recently created a Facebook page to keep our families updated on what's happening! We'd encourage you to like and follow: https://www.facebook.com/share/1QZt1YREb1/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Our next PTO meeting is November 12th @ 4:30 in the library.

This is the 19th year for this successful contest. The timeline has been adjusted to better align with the academic year! The hope is that teachers will find value in using this contest in the classroom. Parents are able to complete the essay with their child at home as well.
