Dear Forest Ridge Families,
Our first event of the school year, our 5th Annual Moovin’ & Groovin’ Rock-a-Thon was a huge success! Thank you to all who donated to this cause! The kids had a great time walking around the school with their classmates and dancing to some music. In addition, we surpassed our $5,000 goal and raised a total of $5,260! As a result, Mr. Pontus will be duct taped to the wall by the students. We are sure they are going to have a blast with this reward! The winners for the Fire tablets were: Connor M. in 5th grade, Ethan M. in 5K, and Meia H. in 4K Congratulations to all winners! Thank you to Mr. Mattern and Mrs. Johnson for organizing this event.
We have plenty planned for October! October 7th will be our first Smencils sale for the year! Smencils, Smarkers, Smens, and Smickers will all be sold for $1.00 each during lunch recess. Don’t forget to send $1.00 to school with your children if they are interested in purchasing any of these items.
Our Fall Book Fair runs October 12-21st. You can purchase online during that time, or we will be open for in-person sales on October 14th for families to shop during conference night. Visit our fair page at https://www.scholastic.com/bf/forestridgeelementaryschool3 for purchasing online and more information. Our Book Fair will be held in the Media Center at school.
October 15th is our very anticipated Fall Festival! This is a fun family event that runs from 5-7pm at school. Tickets are required to purchase in advance. Flyers went home this month already, so please be sure to return your forms with payment by October 11 to RSVP for this event! We have games, food, pumpkins, pumpkin decorating, and face painting! Tickets are $5 per person. Costumes are not necessary, but are encouraged! Come enjoy some things fall has to offer at our Fall Festival on October 15!
Our first Food Night will also be held this month on Monday, October 18th, at Milwaukee Burger Company in Franklin. Treat your family to dinner anytime between 6-9pm and Milwaukee Burger Company will donate 10% back to Forest Ridge for every flyer presented.
Finally, our first Popcorn Day of the year will be held Thursday, October 28, for grades 5K-5th grade. We are giving families the option to pay up front for the year for just $2.00. For those who do not wish to pay for the year, $.25 can still be sent in each Popcorn Day for this special treat.
As always, please like our Facebook page @forestridgewolfpack for information on all of our events throughout the year. Our PTO meetings are the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 6:00pm in the Media Center at school. We would love to see you at our next meeting on October 12!
