Next week is College Exploration Week. On Monday, wear your Halloween shirt or a college of your choice, Tuesday wear your Virginia Tech colors, Wednesday wear your Marshall University colors, Thursday wear your Concord University colors, and Friday wear your WVU colors. Come watch our girls play at 6 pm tonight. We still have pumpkins for $5.00.
Tomorrow, we will be dressing up as our favorite Inside Out character because we want to be a friend, celebrate life, live drug free and have kind words no matter what we are feeling. Then, after lunch students may put on their Halloween costume to show their friends and to wear for a little while in the classroom. Costumes must be appropriate for school and should not be violent in nature. Costumes must be easy for your child to put on over their clothing and no face painting. To ensure your child’s safety, they may NOT wear costumes on the bus so we will be taking them off before dismissal.
Don't forget about out Title I parent night, 3:30 to 5:30, come hungry and eat! Buy a pumpkin and get free books. Enter for door prizes!
Please wear red tomorrow as we pledge to be drug free and against bullying. Also, tomorrow will be our Title I parent-teacher conferences. These conferences have been scheduled. If you forgot your time or if you want to see if a time is still available, call the school in the morning. Your child may attend the conference with you. It is up to you. If they do not attend the conference with you, you must provide supervision for your child while you are in the conference. Next, starting at 3:30 pm our 5th grade parents will be having a hot dog dinner for $6.00, the school will be selling pumpkins in our garden for $5.00, and school spirit items will be sold. In addition, parents are invited to attend one of the three anti-bullying informational sessions by our social worker. These sessions will start at 3:30, 4:00 and 4:30. Your child may attend a read aloud session while you are in the informational session or they may remain with you. Finally, each teacher will be handing out a goodie bag filled with items to help you and your child with reading and math. Free books will be given and register for fall door prizes. Before you leave, please visit the library and look at our school science fair projects. They are amazing. We can't wait to see you tomorrow!
