Halloween

I would like to thank all of the moms who came to our Halloween party and helped make it a big success! The kids really seemed to enjoy the games, and everything went smoothly. Everyone had great costumes and a fun time. I'm already looking forward to the Christmas party! Thanks again!

More Field Trip Information

I wanted to address some questions about the field trip...
The $4 fee for the trip is only for students; chaperones are free (except for lunch). It covers the bus and admission into the planetarium. Students will need extra money if they are going to eat at Culver's. They need to bring this money on the 15th and keep it on them. Students may choose to bring a lunch to eat, but they won't be able to eat it until we arrive at Culver's (in other words, not on the bus).
I'm still unsure about the number of chaperones. We will take as many as we can, but we are riding on the bus with Mrs. Martin's class so space is limited. She and I will get together by Thursday of this week to finalize the number of chaperones we will be able to bring. I will call all of the parents who volunteered to let them know for sure how many chaperones we are able to accomodate.

Holiday Book Orders

I sent home book orders sometime last week, and I wanted to make you aware that you can order from these catalogs on-line at Scholastic Book Clubs. (The link is under Cool Clicks.) I wanted to offer this option in case you were interested in placing orders that might become Christmas presents. Orders that are placed by November 9 should be available to pick up at Parent-Teacher Conferences, or we can arrange another way to get the books to you. You are able to browse the catalog on-line and pay with a debit or credit card. You may always submit the traditional paper order, which I am also asking for by November 9. If you decide to order books after this date, please let me know because I can order at any time.
