EXPO Newsletter October 23, 2026

Dear EXPO Elementary Families,

Welcome to another wonderful week at EXPO Elementary! As we wrap up October, we are incredibly grateful for our dynamic family partnerships and the vibrant, inclusive learning environment our community builds together every day. We have some important updates and fun events coming up, so please mark your calendars for two key dates next week. First, join us for our highly anticipated School Movie Night on Thursday, October 29th, which promises to be a fantastic evening of community and fun for all of our students and families. Please also note that there will be no school on Friday, October 30th, as our staff will be preparing for conferences.

Thank you for your continued support, engagement, and commitment to making EXPO a place where all students can succeed.

Warmly,

Principal Craig Anderson

We Want Your Photos!

Have EXPO pictures you’d like to see in the yearbook? The earlier you send them in, the better chance they have of being included!

Send pictures from the first day of school, EXPO events, classroom activities, field trips, and life around EXPO to expoyearbook@gmail.com. Please include grades pictured students are in.

Help Tell EXPO’s Story. Be A Yearbook Volunteer!

Do you love taking photos? Want to pick pictures for a page? Have an eye for details? There are several ways to volunteer for the yearbook!

Needs include:

• Photographers: Take pictures at one or more events, either during or after school.

• Assistant editors: Help collect and organize photos. Lay out a few pages.

• Sales assistants: Help promote yearbook sales and distribute yearbooks. Most of this work occurs in April/May.

• Copy editors: Get an early look at the yearbook! Check for errors before it goes to print.

Email expoyearbook@gmail.com for more information or to volunteer!

Looking for a low-commitment way to help out at EXPO and connect with other parents/caregivers? Consider volunteering at Movie Night on Thursday, Oct. 29th. We need help with set-up, hall and gym monitoring, and clean-up. If interested, please add your name and email to the Volunteer Sign-Up. Thank you. Expo Movie Night Volunteer Sign-Up - Google Docs

Barnyard Breakdown: Imagine a friendly farm yard that has only chickens (2 legs) and sheep (4 legs). If you count a total of 4 heads and 12 legs hiding behind the fence, how many chickens and how many sheep are on the farm?
