Dear Families,

What an amazing October we had. Our Fall Festival had a fantastic turnout, with prizes,

candy, face painting, and magic! We were also happy to support Laila Edwards with

her Sockotober sock drive for the needy, thank you all for your contributions to this. Also,

our Parent-Child project for the month was to decorate a pumpkin. We are so delight-

ed to show off your family collaborations in the hallway and have another project for

you in November!

Our school’s library opened and has been doing brisk business! It’s great to see the kids

so excited about books.

A request: please do not allow your children to bring their toys to the school. And, a

gentle reminder that we cannot permit outside food in the center.

Keep watch for more exciting events to come, like

our Thanksgiving Feast this month and Holiday Pro-

gram in December, and the Summer Camp in 2018.

Thanksgiving Feast Program

.Our Thanksgiving Feast will have a few extra spe-

cial trimmings— Native American vests which the

children decorate themselves, and for Rm 7 & 8

and a short skit the children will present about the

first Thanksgiving!

Parent-Child Project of the Month

Be sure to pick up your Native Indian vest to decorate at home with your child!

These will be worn at our Family Thanksgiving Feast on November 17th. Let your

child’s imagination rule as they paint, sticker, glitter, marker, bead, and glue their

hearts out to create a unique “garment”!
