From the Office of the Principal

It seems like September flew by! The air is still not quite cool yet, but hopefully some true October weather will be here soon! We have many exciting events happening in the month of October, but first let’s recap what we did in September. We all kicked off September with the Labor Day weekend. The academic year officially kicked off during the month of September as well, meaning that the Links to Learning curriculum is now being implemented in full in your child’s classroom. Our Charleston Wrap fundraiser was a huge success, and we sold over $700 of Charleston Wrap products. This money went directly to buying more supplies and equipment for our classrooms. Thank you to everyone who participated! We took Lifetouch Fall Portraits on Thursday, September 14, and Friday, September 15, and all of the children’s photos came back great! Payment and any unwanted photos are due back by Wednesday, October 11. We also held our Scholastic Book Fair, which was a huge success as well! We sold over $1,200 in books to families, which means we were able to receive $600 worth of books for our classrooms!

October is shaping up to be a busy month as well. We are so excited that our Yankee Candle Fundraising Event starts on Monday, October 9. There are 2 ways to order Yankee Candle products… through the catalog that we will send home, or online at www.yankeecandlefundraising.com (just use Group #990085622). Yankee Candle products are perfect for any occasion…holidays, anniversaries, hostess gifts, birthdays and housewarmings. We would love for you to participate–money we receive from our fundraisers go directly to more supplies and equipment for the classrooms! We are excited to announce that we will have our Fall Festival on Monday, October 30. Please be on the look-out for more information on our Fall Festival coming soon! We will start to have Pink Out Day every Friday during the month of October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so wear lots of pink on Fridays! Finally, Links to Learning folders go out on the last day of the month.

As always, we will always be here to help you in any way possible if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you!
Kindest Regards,
William Gordon, Principal
