We have been so spoiled by the weather this Fall.  Just a note that temperatures are expected to drop in the coming week.  Please encourage your child to dress for the weather as we spend time outside learning, having DPA and recess.  We want all kiddos to feel comfortable.

Thank you to those of you who have generously donated to our Snack Program on School Cash Online.  We are supported through Keep Kids Fed at School and through a generous grant from President’s Choice Children’s Foundation.  Snack bins are refilled twice a week with a selection of fruits (apple sauce, fruit salad) and grains (cereal, crackers, granola bars)  that are “Snack Program Approved”.  We also offer a snack bar once every two weeks with protein (yogurt, milk, cheese) and sometimes vegetables.  The mandate from Keep Kids Fed at School is that all students have access to food at any time with no questions asked, as we work to remove barriers to food access.  Staff will never question a student taking something out of the bin.  We also have fresh fruit (apples, clementines, bananas) in baskets outside the office that students can access at any time.  Our donation button for our snack program is still active at www.schoolcashonline.com.  

A reminder to our intermediate families that we have some trips coming up to the Headwaters Racquet Club.  Payments are due today at www.schoolcashonline.com.  

Thanks to the School Council our Winterfest event is starting to take shape.  Students in grade 4-8 are welcome to apply to be vendors in our Junior Market.  Each year our students develop products and pitch them to staff as they compete for the limited spots we have.  Students should pay attention to the daily announcements so they don’t miss out.
