I still need parent volunteers to man the booth for the Harvest Festival. Our theme (sharing the booth with Ms. D's 3rd grade class) is "Mad Scientists" Last year was a blast!! It is on October 28 from 6 - 8 PM. We do NOT wear costumes to school on Oct. 28 during the day, but we will be having a small Halloween party so you can drop off cookies, or snacks for everybody to share. The Harvest Festival the kids CAN wear costumes!

We have an opportunity to "adopt" 2 bats (one for the boys, and one for the girls) at Carlsbad Cavern's in New Mexico. The cost per student is only 65 CENTS... and it's a great way for the kids to get involved in a community service project, learn about conservation and how to save endangered animals. If you still want to meet with me to discuss your child's progress or his/her report card, I have a sign up sheet on my door.

Thanks ! Mrs. C
