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).

Nov. 3rd to 7th - Book Fair: This is a great opportunity for lots of volunteer hours. Volunteers are needed for:

• 2-3 hour shifts to work the book fair (or whatever hours you can do)
• Help with the ever popular ‘dads and doughnuts’ or ‘moms and muffins’
• Calling parents

Nov. 14th - Soup & Soldier Hollow Hopefully everyone received an email from Howard Peterson about this. Although the school is not a part of this, you are all invited to attend this fun event.

School Yearbook - Pictures will resume this week. Stephanie Thompson will send out information about dates for pictures.

Student of the Week - Make sure to get your child’s “student of the week” project turned into the office. We do not want any child to be left out. Be sure to let your child design the sheet & tell about himself/herself. Please write the grade on the front/back. We will display one student per grade, per week.

Rewards Program: Please turn in all of your Box Tops by Friday, October 24th so that I can mail them in before their deadline.

Campbell’s Contest: Deadline Nov. 7th. This cool weather signals that it’s time for us to start eating soup and casseroles, so I thought we would use Campbell’s Labels for our next game: BASKETBALL! 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 the deadline 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!

Campbell’s Labels are found on many items, including:
Pepperidge Farm Products, Prego Italian Sauces, V8 Juice Products and V8 Soups
Spaghetti-O’s, Market Day Products, Franco-American Gravies, Swanson’s Broth, Stock and Canned Chicken, Campbell’s Soups, Supper Bakes, Chili, Beans, Tomato Juice & Gravies. On all V8 Juices, please send in the plastic cap instead of the label. All items will count as one point, regardless of their value. Thank you for participating. - J.

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
