Reminders...

Next Monday, October 26th, the plant projects are due. Please make sure your child brings their completed project and article in to share. These will be on display for a few weeks!

Monday we will also be having our pumpkin math day. If you volunteered to help, please be at school by 1:30 with a decent sized pumpkin. The festivities (and messiness) will begin at 1:45. We will be in the science room.

Friday, October 30th, we will be celebrating Halloween. From 8:45-9:30 the students will come to the gym to watch their SUPER HERO teachers challenge students to the SUPER HERO OLYMPICS. Students will be allowed to purchase tickets this Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at lunch for their chance to be one of the students selected to challenge the teachers. From 9:30-10:30 the students will celebrate Halloween in the classroom and at 10:30 the annual Switzer Halloween parade will begin. Don't forget FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30th IS A HALF DAY!!

Please remember that we do have peanut allergies. If your child eats peanut butter for breakfast, please make sure they wash their hands before coming to school. Also be very cautious and read the labels with any Halloween treats.
