Dear Parents,

Please welcome Ms. Kate Drehmel to our school where she will be helping in the school office. We are so happy to have her join us as she brings a wealth of knowledge and school experience to our team. She grew up in Dotyville and graduated from Campbellsport High School. Prior to joining us, she worked on the administrative team at the Montessori School of Waukesha for 15 years. Kate and her son, Daxton, recently relocated back to this area. She enjoys reading, puzzles, bowling and spending time outdoors with her family. Please give her a warm, St. Matt’s welcome when you meet her. We are very excited to have her here!

We are going to have a PTO – that’s YOU! We have a meeting on Monday, November 4 at 6pm. Please plan to join us to give us your input on some great upcoming events.

Grandparent’s Day is November 19. Details about the day and lunch reservations will coming next week.

Due to a lack of Santa happenings in our area, we are hosting one for you and your family. Mark your calendars for Saturday, December 14 for Supper With Santa. More details in the flyer below.

St. Matt’s Market is coming soon. Are you selling or shopping? Or both? Email smsmarket@stmattsschoolcambpellsport.com now to reserve your spot to sell your homemade goodies. We have over 50 vendors signed up already! Please sign up ASAP as space is running out quickly. 

As our fall weather is up and down, please make sure to send your kiddos with the appropriate outdoor clothing for recess and walks. Sometimes the sun is bright but the wind is cold.

Welcome to November!

Joan Schlaefer

Upcoming Scholastic Book Fair

November 18-22

Dear Parents and Families:

Get ready—the Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school! This is a great opportunity to connect with your child over the thrill of bringing home new books to dive into again and again. Studies show that kids read more when they choose books for themselves. And fostering a love of independent reading leads to a wide variety of benefits—including academic success and improved mental health. Here's what you need to know about our upcoming fair:

• Every dollar you spend will benefit our school directly
• You can sign up for Book Fair eWallet, a convenient digital payment account, so your child can shop the Fair cash-free. Grandparents, friends, and others can contribute to the eWallet to help build your home library.

In-Person Fair Dates: November 18-22

Book Fair Homepage: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/stmatthewschool5

We can’t wait to see your child at the Fair!

NOTE: The "Shop Now" button will appear when the event opens on November 18, but feel free to browse before then!

*Free standard shipping is available on book-only orders of $25 or more, after all discounts are applied. Free standard shipping (books) must be selected during checkout. Orders containing products other than books are not eligible for this shipping promotion.
