More notes for the week on back:

1) If you are able, please remember to send money for the Fall Festival activities, and for the Queen/Princess
competition. The students are really hoping to win one day next week! Also, please do not forget to return the
information in the Fall Festival packet that was sent home last week.

2) Please fill out the form regarding whether or not you will be picking up your children to take them to the Fall Festival
games. I need to know how many student helpers we will need for our classroom. Also, please make sure to turn in all
money and forms that were in the Fall Festival Packet!!
3) Coats and Jackets: Please make sure to refer to the dress code in the handbook regarding coats and jackets. There
have been a couple jackets worn that do not meet the dress code standards.
