Fall Fun- Fall Poems and Pumpkin Spice!
We are introducing a new way to have fun this year during Fall. Writing is essential in the success of our kids, so we have decided to give the children an opportunity to be creative. Please prepare a simple poem that is representative of “Fall Festivities.” Prizes will be awarded for the most creative and unusual poems. We will have a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for both Intermediate and Primary grades. Poems are due October 22nd to allow enough time for the judges to vote. Entry forms on the PTC bulletin board. Once you’re done, place it in the Fall Festivities box by office. In addition, we are also inviting you to carve, decorate or paint a jack-o-lantern. These will be done at home and brought to school in the morning on October 24th. Scafer Park students will do judging during recess. This contest will also have a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for both Intermediate and Primary grades. The winners will be announced before the end of day on the 24th. Prizes will be given for both the poetry contest and jack-o-lantern extravaganza! Have fun and be creative!
Story Teller! Get your sleeping bags and bring your pillows! We are having a wonderful and exciting storyteller coming to our next Parent Teacher’s Club meeting. This will be an event you won’t want to miss, so tell one tell all!! The storyteller will begin after our initial meeting; which starts at 6:30, on November 19th.

Treasury Update: Correction: The Boosters contributed $1,000 towards the testing booklets PTC ordered for the CAT 6 test last year. They also purchased playground balls to be used by our kids for $908. Sorry for the error, we want to give credit where credit is due. We greatly appreciate the help we received from the Boosters.
