Dear Parents,

On October 1st, we began to participate in the Book-It! Program.  For those unfamiliar with the Book It! Program, it is a national reading incentive program for grades K – 6 sponsored by Pizza Hut.  Your child has a monthly goal of 5 books.  Once the goal is reached, your child will receive a Free Pizza Award Certificate, which entitles him/her to a one-topping personal pan pizza.  On the first visit, your child will receive a Book It! card with clip and sticker for the card.  On each subsequent visit, the child will be given another personal pan pizza and a sticker to recognize his/her reading achievement.  If your child meets his/her reading goal in all six months of the program, he/she is rewarded at the restaurant with a Book It! All-Star Reader Award.  Book It! will end on March 31, 2008.  This program requires nothing additional to what you have already been doing; I will send home books and have your child read them to you.

On Wednesday, October 10th we will walk to the Onekama Public Library.  Students will return their three books and check out three new books.  These books will be due on Thursday, November 1st.  We will be leaving at 11:45 a.m. and should return about 1:30 p.m.  If your schedule permits, please join us. 

On Fridays students are able to purchase a variety of items for 50 cents each.  Every Friday students are able to purchase milkshakes; each week is a different flavor.  Also many of the school organizations such as safety patrol, fourth-fifth grade classes, cheerleaders, etc. have a bake sale on most Fridays.  Fridays are a popular day for purchasing goodies.  You may want to send in 50 cents in order for your child to participate and support these different groups.

The following are dates that you may want to add to your calendar:

  • School Store – October 9 at 2:00 p.m.

  • Schoedel Farm field trip – October 18

  • Halloween party – October 31

  • Teacher In-Service (No School) – November 9

  •  Parent-Teacher Conference – November 20 & 21

  • Christmas Program – December 6 at 7:00 p.m.

Warmly,

Shantel
