Book Fair & Halloween!!

BOOK FAIR: Our school book fair is being held this week in the library before and after school and during parent teacher conferences. Come and get some fun new books and help support our school. Remember that 55% of all purchases comes right back to the school for more books in classrooms and the library! Hope to see you there.

HALLOWEEN PARTIES: Have you been contacted by your teacher's class captains about a Halloween Party? We are really in need of volunteers for our students to be able to have Halloween Parties. You could be in the classroom for a few hours, plan games and activities, send in treats, snacks and prizes, make a fun playlist, etc. Remember that our school charter only allows three parties each year. Please contact your Class Captain to get involved. 

HALLOWEEN COSTUMES: This year on Friday, October 28th, students are allowed to dress up as a character in a book. Please remember to bring the book with you that day! (No masks, no face paint, no fake blood, no weapons of any kind, and no scary costumes.) This is the day for costumes at school. There will be no school on October 31st or November 1st.

CLASS CAPTAINS: If you have not heard from your Class Captain, please let us know. Email addresses may need to be updated or corrected.
