Happy Fall Y'All!

(Okay, I recognize the title of this post is a little hokey.) 

Happy Friday everyone!  Jack Frost has definitely visited this week; the chill is in the air and the leaves have really begun to change their colors.  Please be sure your child brings a sweatshirt or jacket on these autumn days.

A letter was sent home today regarding the Symphony Field Trip.  We were so amazed by the overwhelming interest from parents to attend the symphony!  The letter explains in more detail the reason only 5 parents from each class will be able to attend.  If your name was not chosen from the drawing, your money was returned with the letter.  We are planning a bowling field trip in the spring and those of you who showed interest in the Symphony, but did not get to attend will be the first on the list of chaperons for this field trip.

Due to construction, the McTeacher Night scheduled for next week has been moved to Nov. 5^th.  I am signed up to work from 4:00-5:00.  I hope to see lots of you there!

Please remember to continue to collect Math-A-Thon pledges.  Students will take their test on Friday, October 12^th.  When the tests have been graded, I will send them back to you.  At that time, you can collect the pledged amounts from your family and friends. 

We will begin our Pumpkinology study the week of October 15^th. In order to do this study we need pumpkins of various sizes.  Please send your child to school with a pumpkin during that week.  They will be returned to you the week of parent/teacher conferences.
