A few important things:  CHRISTMAS CARDS We did not display our Christmas cards for the fundraiser during Parent-Teacher meetings, and so I have posted pictures of the students holding his or her creation.  Please take a look at the wonderful cards, and then complete the order form which was sent home with your child today.  If your child was part of the SWAT team touring the School Board Trustees today, the last photo contains his or her card. Order forms are due back by November 4.  Thanks! HALLOWEEN Our Halloween festivities will be on MONDAY, OCTOBER 31.  Students are encouraged to wear their costumes to school as our costume parade, in the gym, will be first thing in the morning.  Please come and watch this with us!  We will continue back to our classroom to do some Halloween activities and some Halloween themed learning.   After our regular lunch , (which each student is responsib...
