Halloween, Oct. 31st: Students are welcome to wear costumes to school, but there can be no masks, weapons or blood/gore. Mr. Weber suggests that the kids can dress up as a favorite character from a book. Parties will be on an individual class basis, & the entire school will be invited to a trunk-or-treat at 11:30 down at the amphitheatre (in the corral area, not the parking lot).
Parent Teacher Conferences, Nov 5th and 6th: Sign up sheets are available in the hallway just past the school office. If the times you need are not available, please talk to the teacher about arranging a different day/time.
School Yearbook: Below are the scheduled dates for each grade to come and get yearbook pictures taken. It will be after school, under a white tent. Please be patient with us while waiting. We are trying to make sure every student gets their picture in the yearbook.
- 6th – 9th grades…Wed Oct 29
Any child that misses their date, please make sure & come on Wed, Oct 29. We will not be taking any more pictures after that. Thank you, Stephanie Thompson
Student of the Week: Make sure to get your child’s “student of the week” project turned into the office. We still don’t have any from the older grades, and we would like them to have a chance up on the board.
Book Fair, Nov 3rd – 7th, during parent teacher conference week. Book fair volunteers needed for:
- Book fair committee
- Set up and tear down
- 2-3 hour shifts to work the book fair (or whatever hours you can do)

Thank you from the Thompson Family: Our Family would like to thank all of you that gave a donation to help our daughter, Stacia. We are at a loss for words for your wonderful generosity. It was a huge help for us in this trying time. You made our load a little lighter and give us the hope we need to make it through. We want to thank you for all your hugs, thoughts, prayers, tears and laughter shared. We are so grateful for our Soldier Hollow Family. Love, Jason, Stephanie, Stacia & Jacey Thompson
Adopt-A-Native Elder Program — Items due Nov. 6th. This is our third year that the 3rd Grade class is sponsoring a Navajo Grandmother (Grandma Pauline Begay). Learn more about the program at: www.anelder.org.
As we study Native Americans of the past, we also want to recognize those that are still living! There is much to learn from these Navajo elders before they are gone and with them a culture that is truly unique.
Please take the next few weeks to accumulate any canned goods, blankets, clothing, kitchen ware, etc. We will be delivering our donations on our field trip to the Navajo Rug Show at Deer Valley on November 7th.
Note: Please refrain from donating anything that requires electricity, this luxury is unavailable to the elders. Thank you! — Miss Drozd and the Third Grade
Rewards Program: Third grade is winning the basketball game with 2 baskets! Every time a class brings in 10 Campbell’s Labels For Education, they will get a basketball in the net (which is on the bulletin board). The class that makes the most baskets by Friday, November 7th will win a basketball for their class to use at recess. Please make sure you include the UPC Codes on your labels – they cannot be sent in without them!
