Fall festival

Fall festival takes place on Monday, Nov. 21 from 8:45-11:45. This is a special event with games, food and fellowship. All the 3-6 year old classrooms are planning to make "pilgrim stew" for the children to eat during lunch on Tuesday, November 22, 2011.

We will cut and prepare the ingredients on Monday, November 21, 2011 during our Fall Festival. We will use a crock pot to cook feast.

Last week, letters were sent home describing the event and requesting a donation to the stew (listed at the bottom of the page that was sent home with your child). Thank you for your contribution to our special Thanksgiving lunch.

As a reminder, Friday is the last day to donate a canned food item for the fall food drive. We appreciate all the gifts and so will Eagles Wings, Washington’s local food bank!

Hey families,

Just a few updates:

·         Zion Shelter Lunch Delivery:  Tammy and Mike Tetterton, parents to Ana, will contribute fresh soup for this month's Zion Shelter Food Drive! Special thanks goes out to them for this delicious donation. To round out the meal, Mrs. Hardee and Mrs. Hill will supply oranges and rolls. Students will assist in buttering the rolls and slicing the fruit Monday morning in preparation for the delivery.  Xi Maxson, Tye's mom, will deliver the food to the shelter Monday morning at 9am. Many thanks to all paricipating in this month's Zion Shelter Lunch Delivery.

·         Fall Can Food Drive: This service learning project is in full swing. Donations  of canned or cash goods are appreciated.  All 3-6 and 6-9 year old are participating. Shortly after Nov. 18 (last day to donate) the 6-9 year olds will deliver donated goods to Eagles Wings, the local food bank. Don't forget to send an item or two!

·         Hardee/Hill Pantry: Mrs. Hardee asked that the wish list be updated to include boys 3-6 size underwear. We’d hate to be without those….please contribute if you can!

·         Red Plate Day: Paula Weatherington, Haley’s mom, volunteered to sit with the kids from 11:30-1:30 on Nov. 9 (thanks, Paula) so the teachers can enjoy a warm meal in chairs they fit in!

·         Pettigrew state park field trip is fast approaching. We depart Nov. 10 from school (8:45 SHARP!). If interested in learning more about the school supported field trip guidelines click here
