End of October Already!

As the season is rapidly changing to wet and cold,
we are staying busy at school and want to let
you know about the next few weeks.

This Friday is our annual Halloween Carnival.

Please come and have fun with us from 1:00-3:00.
This is the one day we have a moratorium on candy
and we usually have a blend of Coop style "healthy" candy
and some old school treats.
If you are adamantly against your child having any candy
please bring them an alternative and we'll be sure to use it.

You can still sign up in the kitchen to make snacks (sugar free is always welcome),
take a shift running a game, or helping with set up/clean up.

Next week the whole school is going to the Eureka Zoo
for a skavenger hunt and visit to the petting zoo.
Driver sign-ups and permission slip returns are in the kitchen.
They will be having lunch at Sequoia Park, so if you are
sending a home lunch think picnic.

Remember to change you clocks on Sunday November 7th.
We will "fall back" an hour.

November 11th is Veteran's Day and school is closed.
November 12th is a Teacher Duty Day and school is closed for students.
Enjoy the four day weekend.

The following week, Nov. 15-19 will be all minimum days
for our first set of parent conferences.
School will be out at 1:10, and there will be aftercare as usual.

You will be able to sign up for a conference slot
the week before.
We hope you all take advantage of this chance to
speak one-on-one with your chid's teacher.
It is an excellent way to stay connected to
what is happening in the classrooms.

Then, November 22-26 is Thanksgiving Break and we are closed.

If you are in need of child care during school closure,
let us know and we will try to
help you find alternative care in the community.

Also, congratulations to our new Steering Committee members
Suzie Kelley and Meka Hunt.
We are so happy to have them on the board.
The next meeting is Monday November 15th at 6:00.
Everyone is welcome to attend, but there is not childcare at that time.

See ya'll soon.
