October 24th News and Notes

Book It! Forms Due October 31st
If your child wishes to earn their free personal pan pizza for reading this month, please send completed forms to school by next Friday, October 31st.


Cough Drops
Tis the season for colds and coughs!  For the younger students, Mrs. Lear has asked that any cough drops brought to school must be labeled with the child's name and dosage instructions, and must be given directly to the classroom teacher.  This will insure that everyone is clear on what each student is taking and how many are appropriate to take in a day's time.  Thank you.


Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing at QCT
We had a wonderful time at the theatre on Wednesday!  I hope your student told you a lot about the play that we saw.  If not, ask them about the present that Peter got at the end of the story after Fudge swallowed his pet turtle!
