Trunk-or-Treat is this Friday! TheAnnual Trunk-or-Treat festivities will take place in the main school parking lot from 6:00-8:00 p.m. with Food Trucks, a Fire Truck, Trunk Decorating, Trunk-or-Treating and much more. The Early Childhood Harvest Party will take place in the Early Childhood wing and the Commons from 5:00-6:30 p.m. If you are attending but not planning on bringing your car you may bring candy donations to the school office. You may attend both the annual main school parking lot event and come down to participate in the Early Childhood events or you might choose to just come to the Early Childhood events. Please let me know if you have any questions. I know this can be confusing if this is your first time.
"All About Me" posters are due by the end of the month. I will display these in our hallway next month as we begin to focus on blessings and thankfulness.
October 17th is our field trip to Eagle Fork Pumpkin Patch. It is approx. a 22-mile drive.

No school on Friday! Friday is Fall break. Enjoy a special day off with your family.

Snapshots from the week:

After reading a book, we had a big discussion about Martians and Aliens. It was quite interesting! See what your child thinks about them...
