Thank you to everyone who enjoyed a meal at Pastini's last week. It was a huge success! Dine Outs are a fun way to see our community in the wider world while building funds to enrich the school year. Our next chance to share a meal will be November 13th at Atlas Pizza on Foster. Hope to see you there!

We've got another fun week ahead with some special dates:

• Wednesday is early release and Grandparents/ Special Adult Day. We still need volunteers to help with check in.
• The annual Harvest Carnival is this Friday from 6-8 pm. Wristbands for students will be sold before and after school Wednesday-Friday. This event needs lots of hands to make it a success! Learn how you can get involved.
• Join the Garden Committee for a Work Party on Saturday, October 25 from 9-11 am.

As usual, see below for links and additional information on these events as well as our current fundraisers including the Walk & Roll Pie Sale, the Garden Committee Plant Sale, and our No Stuff fundraiser.

Help families check in in the cafeteria for our Drop Everything and Read Literacy Event! We are still looking for help with checking in the 3rd grade classrooms and the 4th/5th grade classrooms.

Looking for some more Front Office Tardy Student Check Ins

The front office is looking for some help with check ins for students coming in late. Colder and wetter weather seems to bring more late arrivals! Please sign up if you can help.

The Harvest Carnival is this Friday! The $15 wristbands will be on sale Wednesday-Friday before and after school. Don't worry if you don't get to it! Tickets will also be sold at the door.

The Harvest Carnival includes games, activities, bake sale goodies, spooky decorations, and more! Every dollar spent at the carnival goes to the PTA, benefiting Woodstock Elementary students and staff.

This event can't happen without your help - please volunteer! Whether it's decorating before the carnival, donating baked treats and snacks, assisting during the event, or helping with cleanup afterward, your support is greatly appreciated.

Costumes are encouraged! 👻🎃

We can't wait to see you on Friday!

The Walk & Roll Holiday Pie Sale has begun! Order your holiday pies to help support the Walk & Roll Committee and get great pies to eat over the holidays. Get your orders in by Wednesday 10/29 @5pm!
