To make our event even sweeter, please donate a bag of candy (no nuts) by Friday, October 20th. Candy may be dropped off at the front office or bins located on the blacktop. Please ensure that the candies are in a sealed bag so that we can check its expiration date prior to the distribution at the event. No loose or expired candies, please!

Cardboard Challenge - Oct 25
Signups Due - Oct 6
Final Project Due - Oct 25
The Cardboard Challenge is an annual event that celebrates creativity, critical thinking, and manipulation. Your child's job is to build a game that they can play with others entirely out of cardboard!
This year our theme is Superheroes, where students are encouraged to decorate their cardboard game or activity to represent some of their favorite superheroes or superhero abilities. This could mean decorating with comic words like "Ka-pow" or "Bam" or decorating your game with your favorite superhero's logo.
Students are required to bring their creations to school on Oct 25th morning and will celebrate and enjoy all cardboard creations from 12:50 - 1:30 PM that day. They will set up their creations in the MPR and spend 30 minutes playing and interacting with each other's games!

Class Directory Request
Room parents have been busy working on class directories. A class directory allows families to directly communicate with one another for things like birthday party invitations and playdates. Room parents use the class directory to contact you about classroom specific and school wide events.
Please help your room parent volunteers by providing them with your preferred contact information as soon as possible. Contact [email protected] or your room parent volunteers with questions. Thank you for your time and cooperation.
