• HERO DAY: Friday 10/22 Students may add-on to their uniforms something that relates to being a hero. They may add on superhero additions (tshirts, sweatshirts, socks, etc.) or First responder hero additions (Firefighter, nurse, doctor, police, teacher, security, EMT, etc.). Appropriate costumes may be worn. T-shirts or capes must be worn with gym pants. 

• Gym Day will be on Thursdays! 

• This month we are collecting Thanksgiving food items for our pantry drive (e.g.- box stuffing, canned veggies, canned gravy, etc)

• Continue to reinforce classroom expectations at home: the importance of being prepared, being respectful, raising your hand during class time, and  being kind to others! These are continuously emphasized during the school day, we would like to keep the message relevant outside of school as well!
