There is no school on Monday, November 10th, and Tuesday, November 11th. All students and faculty will return to campus on Wednesday, November 12th. We hope you enjoy this small break and the cooler weather on the way. Since is a shorter week we do not have any major events happening this week.
However, we will send out flyers about a few upcoming events on Wednesday. We will send out fliers for our Fall Festival and Math Night that will take place on Thursday, November 20th, from 5:00 pm-7:00 pm. The event is free, but food and other items from various vendors will be available for purchase. We will have games, bounce houses, face painting, hay rides, and more. The other event will be our annual Turkey Trot on Friday, November 21st. The cost is $5. The event will include the trot, turkey run ribbons, and hot chocolate. All the money collected will go to support student rewards for testing and attendance.
Starting on Wednesday, we will collect various hygiene items for the Sultzbacher Center for the holiday season. We will collect items such as soap, deodorant, socks, shaving cream, shampoo, conditioner, lotions, baby powder, and more.

Weekly Updates for the Week of November 3rd-7th
Welcome Back! I hope you had a nice weekend and remembered to turn your clocks back an hour. We are starting a brand new month as we say hello to November. This week is slow and steady and we welcome that. The last few weeks of October were extremely busy so slowing down is needed.
This week, we will have our PTA/SAC meeting on Tuesday, November 4th, from 5:00 pm-6:00 pm in the Media Center. Come out and see how you can help us organize events that are upcoming.
Our 5th graders that met the 2024-2025 Math FAST Proficiency score as a 4th grader will be invited to the STEM Day at Young Women and Men Leadership Academy on Friday, November 7th. Look for the Field trip form to go home on Monday. Slips must be returned by Thursday the latest.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend! Have a great evening and we will see everyone on Monday morning!

They will give lots of ideas and resources for our young people to be successful in reading at an early age. They will also provide dinner, maybe Chick-fil-A!
Starting at 6pm in the cafeteria, there will be Reading Games and Activities from our teachers. This is needed to satisfy our passport and then you qualify for the Trunk or Treat activity in the Bus Loop. Our students and classes will also have pumpkin decorated book characters that will need to be voted on. Please come out and help your child's class win a pizza party!
On Friday we will have our Halloween Blast Off ! This is a busy day. We will start in the morning with our Book Character Parade. The parade starts at 9am, so please make sure your students are on time or they will miss the parade festivities. Afterwards, we will start our BIZI store for students to pick up purchases for great behavior, academics, and attendance. Our October Student of the Month Celebration is at 1:00pm in the Media Center. And to end the day, we will have our "Glow in the Dark" Attend "Dance" party. Students who met the attendance goal of being present 19 out of the 21 days in October will attend for free. Students will receive glow-in-the-dark items, chips, and juice! Then we will send them home to you for Halloween Night fun!
Like I said, this is a busy week, but it should be a lot of fun! We will work hard in the classroom and then set up opportunities for kids to enjoy themselves outside the classroom!
