On Tuesday, we had a kick off assembly during the lunch hour for students to learn about our PTO Catalog Sale that is now going on! The students learned about the items they can sell over the next few weeks to earn money for our school and they saw the potential prizes that they could win for selling items. Any student who sells at least one item will earn a prize. Catalogs and information for parents were sent home with students on Tuesday. There are two different catalogs that students can sell items form this year. Please take a look at the catalogs and consider ordering. It is a great way to support our school and an easy way to purchase some holiday gifts or wrapping paper for the holidays, as the orders will be available for pick-up on Tuesday, December 3rd from 3-4 p.m.! Orders can be submitted to the school through the catalog order form found in your packet or they can be completed online at www.marketdayfundraising.com using Sales ID#: 211999. Complete details for the sale can be found on the digital flyer in the Peachjar!
Students in grades Pre-K through 3rd Grade participated in our vision and hearing screenings on either Thursday or Friday of this week. Any student who did not pass either of the screenings will receive information to take home to their parents letting them know that they did not pass. There will also be information as to how the parent can follow up once receiving the information.
We had our first Pizza with the Principal on Friday in order to honor our students of the month from the month of September! These students were chosen either by their teacher or their classmates for this honor.
