Good evening families, Hope you had a great weekend! A message from Mrs. Mary- Queen of Purchases... Hello families,
I would like to thank everyone for their patience and support through the curriculum ordering process. It is not a perfect system (yet) but we do strive to make sure everyone gets what they need in a timely manner. That being said, could you please take a moment to double check all of your orders. If you have any missing items or items not part of your order please let us know as soon as possible via email. Send a list of items, questions or concerns to Mary at [email protected] and please include Sarah at [email protected].

On Thursday, October 30th all kids on campus can dress in their Halloween costumes and will Trick or Treat around the playground at 11:30. All students who are not on campus that day may sign up to come Trick or Treat with their parents. Please reserve a spot for each kiddo who you are bringing on campus that day! Please do not "show up" that day if you are not signed up or we will not have enough treats/toys. We need volunteers and treats or toys for the Trick or Treating. There are two parts to this Sign Up. Part 1- Sign up to bring in your students if they do not normally attend school on Thursdays. Part 2- Sign up to come in and hand out 40 treats/toys. This only works if people come in to help that day! All treats should be absolutely 100% NUT FREE. Please sign up for something if you plan on attending! Even if your kids normally attend on Thursdays, we still need people to bring treats and pass them out! This is a BRING YOUR OWN BAG EVENT!!! We will NOT be providing disposable bags this year. Please bring or send in a bag for your kiddo and maybe an extra for a kiddo who forgot. Thanks! |

We are a NUT FREE campus. Please save nut snacks for while at home. Also, we have some other class specific allergies, so please email Sarah and the classroom teacher BEFORE bringing in birthday treats. We are also working towards a healthier campus and encourage snacks/treats that align with that. Low and zero waste items are preferred. |
