Hello Everyone,
Thank you to everyone that was able to support our class Halloween party in any way. The kids had a great time and it went really well. We always have so many wonderful volunteers for this and it is so wonderful. Thank you all. Also, thank you to everyone who was able to share an ancestor’s picture and/or story. We placed them on our class ofrenda for the morning. I did not take a picture of it due to privacy issues for your family with the pictures, but it looked beautiful. It was a lot of fun to hear about your ancestors; thank you all for your support in that.
Thank you to everyone who saw unfilled spot for snack and signed up for them. This ensures that we can provide a good snack for your kids everyday to help them through their morning work cycle.
Good news, it is supposed to warm up a bit this week. Please continue to dress your children appropriately for this fall weather and send them with things to keep them warm at recess.
Few things to look forward to coming up:
We have our Fun Run pep rally for the students tomorrow during school. The Fun Run is a way for us to make money for our school. You and your family and friends can pledge money for the laps that your child runs and help us raise money for our new gym, things like bleachers and a score board. The actual Fun Run is during the day the following Wednesday, the 13th. All parents are invited and we will have the times for this later this week.
Every Monday in November if Pizza Pie Cafe Spirit Night for MMA. Eat dinner at the Pizza Pie Cafe on Washington by Kurts any Monday evening this month and 10 percent of the proceeds will go towards MMA.
This Friday night is our school spirit night at Classic Fun Center from 5-9 p.m. A flier for this will come home tomorrow with more info.
Please mark your calendar for our Parent Education night on Thursday, November 14 from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. All families are invited and I would encourage you to go.
Our school Gratitude Feast is Thursday, November 21. This is where we invite people from our community, first responders, police officers, people who work for the city, to come and have lunch. For this we ask for parent volunteers to provide soups, salads, and deserts. It also allows the students an opportunity to make things for them like thank you notes, table decorations. Some classes even do small performances for them. Please check Track it Forward for a sign up.
Our school Cultural Festival will be the afternoon of Friday, November 22. I will have a separate blog post specifically for this, later this week.
Last thing: don’t forget to order your Original Works by this Tuesday to ensure that they arrive by the holidays.
As always, thanks for all you do!
