New for October

Hello Parents, teachers, and students,

October is starting off to be a great month. We have tons of activities planned for the month, starting with the Jog-a-thon which will be held this Friday 10/9. If anyone is interested in volunteering for this we can still use the help, please contact Sara Weber for more details. Her number and email are listed in the upper right hand corner of the blog.

Next we have the Halloween Candy Grams. These can be purchased at the school on 10/26, 10/27, and 10/28 before school, at lunch time and after school. You can come by the school and purchase the candy grams for your student or your student can bring money and purchase the candy grams themselves for other students or their teachers. The Teacher special for Candy grams will be $5 for fewer than 26 students OR $6 for 26 students and up. We are also looking for volunteers to help sell the candy grams in the following time frames:

The Family Food night at Red Robin last month was a great success. Hunter earned $125 from the restaurant. Mrs. Aholt's kindergarten class won the challenge for most students in attendance. Her class will receive FREE milkshake coupons from Red Robin. Yummy!!!!!

The PTA would like to send a HUGE Thank you out to Dr. Payne & Dr. Whitt for the wonderful FREE T-shirts they donated to each student on Back to School Night. A HUGE Thank you goes to Natalie Day for taking on the running of the PTA membership drive and for printing and delivering the PTA membership cards. Also a HUGE Thank you to Jason Pimentel for donating FREE labor to building a storage pull cart for the PTA supplies. WOW, what a help that will be!!! So a BIG Thank You to all of you!!!!
