News From the Office…
We have a few things coming up in the next few weeks that will be keeping us busy! Picture retakes will be on Tuesday, Oct. 29. Halloween parties will be taking place on Thursday, Oct. 31 and each class will be at different times. If you are volunteering at a party you MUST have a background check on file. You can do this electronically found on the tab at the top of the page. Please do that ASAP so there is time to get those completed. Only parents that are volunteering to run a party will be on the list for check in. We have to limit the number of people coming for parking, space in classrooms, and safety. Thank you for understanding! Email your child’s teacher if you have any questions about the party. Parent teacher conferences will be going on Nov. 18 and Nov. 20. You will be getting an email about when your time is. Last, but not least the book fair is going on Nov. 18 thru Nov. 22. You can shop on Monday and Wednesday from 4:00-8:00 after school during conferences. A huge thank you to Audrey Straub for organizing the book fair and we appreciate all of the volunteers that help in various ways throughout the week!
Thanksgiving break will be here before we know it. We will be off Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday Nov. 27-29 and we will be back at school on Monday, Dec 2.
Have a great weekend everyone!!

Food Service will be offering a sack lunch on early release days. Children can order a lunch with their teacher in the morning and will have them to take to their destination. The cost will be $2.25.

Picture Retakes…
If your child was not here for picture day, retake day is set for Tuesday, Oct. 29. We have extra picture forms in the office if you need one for retakes. If you didn’t like your child’s picture when they came home and you would like them to have retakes, simply send in the picture packet with your child on the day of retakes. Your child will bring it to the ladies taking the pictures and they will be all set. Thank you!!

Girls On The Run…
This is a 10 week program that will be held after school on Mondays and Wednesdays for 90 minutes per day in the Spring. Practices will start the first week in March and the program ends with a 5K celebration for all of the coaches and participants in June. The cost of the GOTR program is $150. It is a great program for all levels of ability and a great way to make new friends, be on a team, and learn about healthy habits emotionally, socially, mentally, and physically!
If you didn’t get a paper home, let us know and we can send one to you. If you have any questions about the program, our coach will be Aubrey VanSlyke. Her email is aubreyvanslyke83@gmail.com
Aubrey is also looking for some moms to help out! If you would be willing to help, please email her to let her know!!
