Notes from the Teacher:
•Fall Festival is right around the corner. On November 10th we will have our annual fall festival. Kindergarten will attend the festival from 9:00-10:45 and 11:15-1:00 for grades 3-5. . Please don’t forget to purchase your child’s play card for $10. There will also be a concession stand with items available for an additional cost ranging in price from $.50-$2.50.
•Our Thanksgiving meal is scheduled for Friday November 18th. If you did not purchase a meal ticket, you can still come sit with your child during lunch.
•We are having a coin drive to raise money for our new playground. Students can bring in coins to place in a certain teacher’s jar. The teacher who has the most money in their jar will get to kiss a pig. Yeah!
