Our Fun Run is this weekend. Congratulations to Laird Walker who designed the FUN RUN shirt this year! We are looking forward to the FUN RUN tomorrow.

We are looking forward to our Kindergarten and First Grade Thanksgiving Feasts. We also can't wait for our Kindergarten Thanksgiving Parade.

BRRRRRRR. It's getting cold. We do go outside for recess even in the colder temperatures. Please make sure your child wears a coat to school (gloves and hats are good, too).

The third grade students designed pumpkins for their annual pumpkin show. Old Mill School students were allowed to vote for their favorite pumpkin by bringing in an item to donate. Old Mill School students donated 1,067 pounds of food to the Manasquan Food Pantry. Special thanks to our third grade teachers, Mrs. Doyle, Miss Turner, Mrs. Sullivan and Miss Mayer for organizing such a wonderful event.

Congratulations to our 5th Grade Student Council Members!

We enjoyed our FUN RUN PEP RALLY today. Our band did an amazing job! Thank you, Ms. Swinchoski and Miss Berube! Good Luck to our FUN RUN team! We are looking forward to our Fun Run tomorrow.

The months of November and December are dedicated to the exploration of the mindset, ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE. Please read the parent newsletter.

Through the ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE Mindset, we are taught that we can use either the positives or negatives in our lives as a foundation on which to build. Choose the positives, and we are on our way toward extraordinary success! By focusing on the things we have, there is no time to be distracted by what we don’t have.

4 Key Components:

• Treasure Yourself
• Be More Grateful
• Thank it Forward
• Elevate Your Perspective

Suggestions to stay healthy during cold, flu, and COVID season are helpful during this busy time of year. Habits like frequent handwashing, exercising, eating a balanced meal, and getting plenty of rest are the best ways to maintain a healthy immune system. If you experience symptoms of a cold, flu, or COVID, please stay home. If you have a temperature greater than 100.0, you must be fever-free without fever-reducing medication for 24 hours before returning to school. Those diagnosed with COVID, whether it be symptomatic or asymptomatic, should be isolated for 5 days, beginning on the first full day of symptoms (or the day you were tested if asymptomatic), and may return to school on day 6 if symptom-free. If you have any questions, you can refer to the guidelines on the district website or speak directly with the School Nurse.

Old Mill Home & School Association (OMH&S) is Old Mill's PTA. OMH&S raises funds for all class trips and assemblies, recess equipment, supplies and events throughout the year. Our ability to operate is entirely dependent on the volunteer efforts of Old Mill School families and educators. Join us today!
