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.
