This week's events:

WEDNESDAY:  Report Card Pick-up  Wednesday and Thursday, November 7 and 8, from 2:30 till 4:30. Come whichever day suits your schedule better. There will be a sign-up sheet in the hall when you arrive and I'll call parents in the order you've signed in. I'll explain the Kindergarten report card and let you know how your child is doing so far. Please try to attend.

THURSDAY:  Report Card Pick-up 2:30-4:30.  Show and Tell (something pink OR beginning with letter C) and  Pink Day.  For boys on Pink Day, look closely at some of their T-shirts and you may find a small bit of pink. If you can't find something pink, have the children share something beginning with letter C.  

FRIDAY:  Primary Awards Assembly at 8:45 in the gym. (Your child's report card will note if your child is receiving an award.) Family Turkey Dressing HOMEWORK project (sent home last week) is due today. You may send it in sooner if you get it finished.    

 

     Thanks to the Isabel's Mom for coordinating our Halloween Party. We appreciated everyone who donated food or treats and helped during the parade, the trick or treating or the classroom party, including the parents of Kevin, Victoria, Daryl, Jazlyn, Dougie and Isabel.

     We'd like to wellcome Justin, a new little giraffe, to Pfeiffer School.
