Hello! Just a few announcements for today!
Halloween Party – October 31st. No costumes! We will go out to our job and community sites in the morning. However, there WILL be a prize for the student who shows the most Halloween spirit! This can be wearing black and orange, a Halloween T-shirt, headband, hat, etc. Accessories are allowed as long as they can be removed for the community sites. No face painting. TYPICALLY we provide food for the Halloween party, but since we just had an unexpected pizza party, and some students are scheduled to eat breakfast out that morning, students will need to bring their own lunch. We will be providing dessert in the afternoon. Students will be allowed to pass out candy in the afternoon, but it is optional. For planning purposes, we have 25 students in class if everyone is here. Your son or daughter should bring an empty grocery bag to collect their candy!
Sheet Fundraiser – I was hoping to start that this week but got behind a little! I am waiting to hear back from the company regarding available colors and pricing for the 2019-2020 school year. If I hear back by this afternoon, I will send an order form home. If not, expect it towards the beginning of the week next week. This fundraiser provides so much to our students. We are able to provide activities at a reduced or no cost – such as our end of the year banquet, pizza parties, reduced bowling fees, etc. We also buy much needed curriculum and materials for our students. Our needs change with each year, as new students come and old students move on. Thank you in advance for your support!
Also!!! We have noticed that MANY students are having trouble staying awake during the day. We suspect students are taking their iPads to bed or they have TV’s in their room and are up all night. Please make sure students are getting adequate sleep at night (7 hours or more) and to unplug those electronics! Students are not able to learn what they need to learn if they can’t stay awake.
Upcoming Dates:

Have a great weekend!
