School Picture Retake Day - Tuesday, October 11

Empire Photography will be at Cushing on Tuesday, October 11th for our students who need their picture taken/retaken. Pictures will be taken in the morning and we will do our best to have them done before recess!

**If you would like your learner(s) to have their picture taken/retaken, please let their teacher and Mrs. Mirek ([email protected]) know.

Decathlon T-Shirts

Please hold onto your learner’s Decathlon t-shirt. There will be times throughout the year where students will be asked to wear this year’s shirt - field trips, school events, etc.  

Pumpkins!

Pumpkins will be handed out on a first come, first served basis. Because we will be receiving a limited number of pumpkins, we may not be able to fulfill every request. Please only take 1 pumpkin per Cushing student in your family.

The pumpkins will be at school on Monday, October 17. If your child is bringing the pumpkin home on the bus, be sure to provide either a pillowcase or strong bag that will hold a large pumpkin. Precautions for a safe return to Cushing by Thursday, October 20 would also be a good idea. Carved pumpkins can be set on the grass by the Front Lobby doors.

If you would like a pumpkin permission form, you can find it in the PTO section.

Cub Scout Info Night - Friday, October 14

Any 5K and 1st Grade families that are interested in learning about Cub Scouts are invited to attend our Information Night on Friday, October 14 from 6:30-7:30 in the Cushing Cafeteria. Come and learn what Cub Scouts is all about. We will have activities for the kids while we talk to the adults. We hope to see you there! Currently enrolled Scout families do not need to attend.

Lunch Choices When Coming in Late

If your learner will be coming in late AND they need a Hot Lunch or Milk, please let their teacher and Mrs. Mirek know. Lunch Counts are done first thing in the morning and we want to make sure we order enough food. Thanks for your help!
