Halloween fiesta!

Top o' the morning, y'all!
Mrs. Oaks' class Halloween party will be on Thursday at 12:30. The kids are welcome to bring their costumes, but Mrs. Oaks asks that they please don't wear them to school. They'll be able to change before the party.

On another topic: have you made your pledge to the Pinnacle Project? It's the school's annual fundraiser campaign. I know times are really tight right now, but we are asking every family to give what they're able. You should have received a brochure in the mail a couple of weeks ago, but if you have any questions, please ask me.

Happy Halloween!

Early release on Wed., Oct. 22

Happy Monday everyone!
Here's a few tidbits:
1. Remember that the kids get out at noon on Wed. There will be aftercare starting at noon and going until the usual time. IMPORTANT NOTE: there will be no hot lunch, and the first-graders will NOT eat lunch during school. But don't worry: they'll be able to eat their sack lunches in aftercare.
2. The HOWL is this Saturday, Oct. 25, 4:00-7:00 p.m. Have you signed up to staff your classroom booth? There are still some slots open.
3. If you ordered a HOWL t-shirt for your kiddo, be sure to have him/her wear it this Friday for the HOWL rally (during chapel).
4. Mrs. Oaks' class: our Halloween party will be on Friday, Oct. 31, 12:15-1:30. Kedra Ishop is signed up to do this party, but we need one more person. Please get in touch with Kedra if you can help.
That's all for now.
Paz y amor,
Mary

More on the Howl + teacher conferences

Also wanted to mention that Mrs. Watts' class is doing its own booth at the Howl. I can't remember what it is, but I know there is a sign-up sheet outside her class.

Teacher conferences will be the week of Oct. 20th. Look for a sign-up sheet for Mrs. Oaks next week.

No school on Monday (Oct. 13), so enjoy the long weekend!

GO FISH at the HOWL!!

Hey Everyone!
Today I posted the sign up sheet for our homeroom's booth for the Howl. We have been assigned GO FISH! We need two parents to set up, two to break down the booth after the carnival, and several volunteers to man the booth throughout the event. Our set up time is set for 2pm, but we can do it anytime earlier as well. This year's Howl starts at 4pm. The planning committee has a bunch of supplies from Howls past, so the three of us will take a look at what we have and then put out a request for extra supplies that all of us could probably gather up from the piles of plastic that gather in the corners of the house. Stay tuned, and please sign up to help out for this fun event!!!
Any and all ideas for a great booth are welcome!
