MODIFIED FALL FESTIVAL

We are happy to announce that we will have a Fall Festival this year! Things will look different as I’m sure you can imagine, but we are so happy to be able to at least have some sort of Fall Festival for the kids. There will be a modified schedule so all students will not be outside at the same time and unfortunately, we will not be able to have parents attend this year. The below permission form was sent home with students. Please return the form and the $2 before October 29th to have your child be able to participate. Any candy donations would be greatly appreciated. They will be used at the teacher booths. Thank you in advance for helping make this happen for our kids during this strange and unprecedented year.

HEALTH HEROS FLU SHOT CLINIC

The Health Heroes Flu shot clinic will be visiting our school system on October 29th and 30th.  We will not get our exact date and time for our school until right before the clinic dates.  We are notifying you of this now, so you can decide between this clinic, their physician’s office, or another location.
We will send consent forms home the week before the clinic. Please make sure you fill out the form completely and return the form before the first clinic day. You will only need to return a form if you want your student to have a flu shot. Students who are covered under a PEEHIP plan are not eligible for this clinic.

T-SHIRT FUNDRAISER

Students came home with a T-shirt Fundraiser Form last week. We would love for all of our students to buy/sell at least one t-shirt. You’ll have a great Comfort Color t-shirt to wear and you will be helping our school! All order forms/money are due Oct. 1st.
