As the Fall weather has arrived, please make sure that your child is appropriately dressed.  We are outside for 2 recesses, weather permitting.  Extra clothes to be left at school would be helpful too!
Here are some reminders for the upcoming week:
1) Spirit Day - October 18, please wear PURPLE!
2) We are dancing again on Thursday, please wear appropriate footwear to dance HIP HOP!
3) Our Food Drive continues until the end of the month.  Thank you for your contributions!
4) Our school fundraiser "Halloween Dance" is happening now.  For every $5 donated, your child will get a ballot to enter into many cool surprises like......BEING PRINCIPAL FOR A DAY!  Other ballots will be given for $20 and up too!  There was a blue sheet that went home with your child last week.  If you need another one, please let me know.
5) Monday is Day 3 of our cycle.
As always, please check their agendas nightly and sign them.  We are beginning to write independently in our Friday Letters.  Please read those too!  Have a wonderful and safe weekend with your children!
