A Piece of the PIE

👻 Thanks to all who came out to this year's Trunk or Treat on Thursday evening. The Ben Franklin parking lot was absolutely packed with people dressed as aliens, vampires, witches, princesses, and even the Kool-Aid Man! We'd like to thank everyone who volunteered their time, donated candy, decorated a trunk (we had 30 this year!), or simply came out for a good time and to support a good cause! We'd especially like to thank Erin Feldhusen and Zach Taylor, who put the whole event together.

🐔 Our next restaurant fundraiser night will be this coming Thursday, Oct. 24 at Chick-fil-A in the Falls. We started the school year off strong with our September restaurant night, at The Chocolate Factory, by raising an incredible $1,000! Thanks to all who supported us last month!

👍 A friendly reminder that you can always stay up to date with the latest PIE info, including reminders of all our upcoming events, on our Facebook page. Join the Ben Franklin Riverside PIE Facebook group if you haven't already!

✏️ Our next PIE meeting is slated for 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 13 at Ben Franklin. We hope to see you there!

From Our Health Room

There has been a slight uptick in viral/bacterial infections. If your child is coughing a lot or has a fever, we encourage you to keep them home to rest.

Does your child need medication?

Sometimes students need medication to be administered during the day by our staff in the health room. There are specific forms linked below that need to be filled out before we are authorized to dispense that medication - prescription or over the counter medication. Also, please keep in mind that parents/guardians should always transport that medication and drop off in our office. If you have any questions, please give us a call.

Want to help?

There are many opportunities to help out at school. Whether helping in the classroom, at PTO events or chaperoning a field trip, we'd love your help.

To ensure that all adults who come in contact with your children are safe to do so, we run background checks on all volunteers. You can apply today to be a volunteer at the link below. Please note that it does take 48-96 hours for the process, so if you want to volunteer, apply early.
