News for the week of 10-22

Notes from Ms. Rau:
  • Our Halloween Celebration will be Wednesday, October 31st from 8:30-9:30. Students should come to school dressed in their costume! We will begin our party first thing in the morning and it will be followed by our school wide Halloween parade at 9:45am. We will end our morning watching a Halloween movie. I was able to get two volunteers for Halloween bingo, so I am all set, thank you! Remember this is a half day for students. 
  • Box Tops - Last year we were one of the top two classes for the box top contest. To keep the trophy in our room we need your help! Please clip and collect box tops for our school and glue them onto the sheet given. If you need more sheets you can find them in the email Mrs. Goethals sent out last Friday!
