So, I was wrong about the fundraiser in Trinidad.
It is not a show with a reggae band- that was a rumor!
It is the Trinidad Holiday Artisans Festival-
the Taste & Talents of Humboldt.
This is an all day craft fair with wine tasting, free food
(if you purchase the wine tasting)
and Trillium's fabulous raffle.
The band, if there is one- which remains to be seen,
will only play after the fair for the vendors, organizers, and volunteers.
If there is a band, it will be Israel Vibration, but again,
this may only be a rumor so please don't count on it.
So far, we have people soliciting donations in McKinleyville,
the Arcata Plaza, and Henderson Center.
If you know someone with a local product or business,
please hit them up for a donation.
If you need our official donation letter with our tax ID#,
ask Jen for a copy.
Thank you again.
The forcast this morning said
"an abundance of sunshine" for tomorrow,
so I hope to see you at the Halloween Carnival.

Monday 10/29
I just wanted to remind everyone to sign up to help at the
Halloween Carnival this Wednesday!
Also, Thursday is pajama day and a minimum day.
School is out at 1:10.
In case you have not heard about our upcoming holiday fundraiser,
we will be having a raffle in Trinidad on November 24th.
This is a wine tasting event, and a reggae band will play.
Last year we made almost $600 at this event,
and the money we make helps
to supplement our fieldtrip budget, making things
like CenterArts and swim lessons possible.
Jen has been organizing people to solicite raffle donations from the community.
We have a letter to give to businesses, and if you are interested
in helping, please check in so that we don't ask the same people twice.
We will also need people to work the table at the event,
and since this is a family event with a great band
I hope this will be easy to accomplish.
Let us know if you are interested.
The weeks are flying by, and it is almost time for parent conferences.
They will be November 8-15.
We will have minimum days to allow for afternoon conferences.
Please sign up for a time slot to meet with your child's teacher.
Aly's list is on her door,
and Wendy's is by the parent boxes.
Parent conferences are so important, as they keep an
open connection between you and the teachers.
The teachers love the chance to praise your childrens strengths,
and of course you'll love to hear it!
Also, if there are any concerns,
it helps to work together early in the school year
to help your child have the best chance at success.
See you at the carnival!
If you want to help set up,
come by in the morning around 11:00.
Thank you!

Wednesday October 24
Only one week until the Halloween Carnival!!!!
We are getting really excited about our upcoming carnival
next Wednesday from 1:00-3:00.
Students are allowed to wear their costumes to school
in the morning, but will need to keep masks
and cumbersome accessories
off in the morning.
Also, we ask that you please not to send weapons with the kids' costumes.
I know that pirates, for instance, often have a sword,
and they are allowed to have those during the carnival
as long as they don't use them against each other.
However, we discourage guns, knves and the like at school,
and we ask that your kids keep them at home.
Jen put a letter in everybody's parent boxes today
with a list of what we need to make the carnival another excellent event.
As usual, Aly's class will turn the playhouse into a haunted house,
so feel free to send in decorations.
We will also have fun games for the kids to play.
Please be aware that we make a candy exception at school
on Halloween- we have surrendered, and yes, we do give out candy.
If your kids have special dietary needs or you would like to
discourage excessive sugar intake- feel free to bring healthy snacks.
We would appreciate it.
Remember that November 1st is a minimum day,
so school will be over at 1:10.
There will be aftercare as usual,
but everyone usually seems tired
on the day after all the excitement.
I also want to mention that we have had quite a lot of
parent volunteerism so far this year,
and we appreciate you all so much.
Thank you!

Monday 10/15
Welcome to our new forum for posting all Trillium events.
We will update information at least once a week.
Fundraising update: The Festival of Courage raised $93.00 for each classroom. This money
is used for special projects and activities. Thank you to all who helped.
Volunteer opportunities: As you may have noticed, our playground is transforming. We have removed two swing sets and put up one climber. We have another
climber and a new swing set to assemble. We need parent help for this.
Look for sign-up sheets for our next work day. Child care can be
available, so be sure to tell us if you need it. Thanks.
This week's events:
Monday Oct. 15: Our fieldtrip to Redwood Roots Farm was canceled due to the weather.
We will try to reschedule it for a sunny day.
* Steering Committee meeting tonight at 5:30.
Tuesday Oct. 16: Our 3-5 classroom will have an in-class presentation from the Humboldt
Bay Keepers at 11:00
Thursday Oct. 18: Author Festival
This year we will welcome Barbara Kerley.
Barbara is a local author, and the students have been reading some of her books in class. Barbara will read to each class, and we will have a
vegetarian potluck at 12:00. You are all invited to attend.
Looking Ahead:
Tuesday Oct. 23: K-2 class meeting at 4:30
Please come to hear all about the wonderful activities your children are
involved with, and all that is coming in the next few months. This will also
be an opportunity to meet other parents, ask Wendy questions, and get
involved with Trillium.
