The Rutherford Update

BOOK FAIR

Our 1st annual Book Fair is next week Oct 20-23, at Rutherford School. Monday-Thursday in the Library. 8-8:45am and again from 1:30-4:30pm (4:15 on Thursday). Every purchase earns credit towards putting new books in our kids' hands. Thank you to all our community that has volunteered to help out at the book fair.

HALLOWEEN GUIDELINES

The Halloween parade will be Friday (31st) morning at 9:15. Weather permitting, kids will snake around the front parking roundabout showing off their costumes. Parents are welcome to join us to see all the spooky and hilarious costumes. Please remember that costumes that are gory or bloody will frighten some of our younger kids. Please be mindful of this when choosing a costume for the school day. No bloody or terrifying face masks or weapons at school please.

EARTHQUAKE DRILLS AT RUTHERFORD

This week was the great Shakeout. The kids did very well. At some point this year, we would like to do an EQ drill that is more realistic and has stations such as first aid and student shelter set up. Stay tuned for more details.

UPCOMING GRADE 7 FUNDRAISERS

Save your Big Game Day bottles! Grade 7s will be running a bottle drop-off at the school Friday November 20th. Refundables can be dropped off near the staff parking roundabout anytime after 7:30am until 1:00pm.

VISITORS TO OUR SCHOOL

All visitors, parents, caregivers, guests need to stop at the office and check in. If you are picking up a child or dropping off a lunch, we will call the child down to us. Please check in with Sarah before heading to classrooms. Thank you so much for your cooperation.
