Just a reminder that our 2nd grade field trip to Wiard’s Apple Orchard is Thursday . Please remember to pack a sack lunch for your child. Items should be disposable (no glass please). Remember to dress appropriately for the weather. Warm shoes and a warm coat are suggested. Students may want to bring a small hand sanitizer and tissue to keep in their coat pockets. Parent chaperones should check in at the office first then come to our classroom at 8:55 for directions and to get their list of students in their group. We only have one bus, which will accommodate the students and teachers. Parent chaperones will have to drive separately (car pooling with other parents is suggested). Driving directions will be passed out in the classroom. I’m looking forward to an exciting field trip with the students!

Snow School’s Make a Wish Pumpkin Raffle has started! Students can purchase raffle tickets before or after school Monday-Wednesday, or Thursday before school only. The raffle tickets are $0.25 each.

Peanut Butter Drive: Help feed children on the weekends by donating unopened jars of peanut butter (24 oz. or less) to our school. Please make all donations by Tuesday, November 18th. All proceeds will be donated to Blessings in a Backpack-Dearborn.

Our class will celebrate Halloween on Friday, October 31st at 2:00 p.m. Thank you to the parents who have already signed up to donate treats for the students to eat. Children may also bring in individually wrapped candy to pass out to students in our class only. Students in 2nd grade may wear their costume to school on Friday. With only 1 bathroom in the classroom, it is too time consuming for students to change into Halloween costumes in class. Please do not allow your child to bring any weapons with their costume. Also, no gory costumes or masks that obscure the child’s view.

If you haven’t already signed up for parent teacher conferences in November, please do so as soon as possible. The dates are November 13, 19, and 20 from 4:00-7:00 p.m. This is the time for the parents and teacher to discuss your child’s academic progress and behavior in the classroom. You will also receive your child’s first report card.
