Families are encouraged to wear costumes to the festival but the school rules for dress up days apply: no full-faced masks, no weapons, shoes must be worn, and be respectful that their are little ones at the event so don't be too scary. Speaking of too scary. Kalvin and I went to see The House With a Clock in the Walls this weekend. There were parts of the movie that were honestly pretty creepy. I just thought I would warn you because the rating is PG. I am surprised it was not PG13.

Harvest Festival will be the whole-school focus for the next two weeks. Be patient if we bombard you with messages about the festival. I promise, it will die down a bit after the Festival. We truly are desperate for volunteers. Also, please feel free to communicate why you can't volunteer so I can communicate feedback to the PTO in order to improve their process next year (for example: "I feel an hour is too long", "I have too many events that night", "We aren't able to attend").
I have ordered the Tupperware for our basket. Thank you to all who donated! There are still items up for donation on the music/p.e. basket. Note that those are also just suggestions; if you would like to donate something else that ties in to the theme, I am sure it would be welcome! THANK YOU!!! To the parents that cut out shapes last week for our Pete The Cat shape project. I know the pieces were tiny... I promise they won't always be that tedious. Your diligence was appreciated and our art projects look so cute! They will be on display during parent/teacher conferences.
