Countryside Bash - What a Fabulous Event!

On October 24 ^th our fabulous Countryside PTO hosted our fourth annual parent event - the Countryside Bash.  I attended this fun-filled evening, along with many of our Countryside staff members.   A big "Thank You" goes out to the Planning Committee and our Countryside PTO for hosting such a wonderful event.  It was great to see so many parents and guests participate.  Please know that your support for our Countryside school and students is so very much appreciated.  The funds raised that evening - and throughout the school year - provide so many opportunities for our students.  I feel blessed to be a part of this school community and I know that contributions to events such as this make Countryside the fabulous place that it is.  Thank you!

 

Conferences Coming Up

Parent-teacher conferences are scheduled for all day on Monday, Nov. 23.  In addition, each teacher will be scheduling some additional hours in next few weeks.  Please consult specific schedules that are being sent to you by your child's classroom teacher.

 

Dressing for Minnesota Weather

With our unpredictable fall/winter weather upon us, I would like to remind students that they should come dressed appropriately for changing weather conditions.  Students will go outside for noon recess unless it is raining or the temperature or wind chill is below zero (BRRRR, let's hope that doesn't happen for a while).

 

Turkey Bingo Prizes Needed - Nov. 20

Our 12 ^th Annual Turkey Bingo event is coming up at 2:45 on Friday, November 20 ^th and we are always in need of more prizes.  We need to make sure that there is at least one prize for every student at Countryside!   If you have anything you can donate, that would be awesome!  We are looking for little trinkets, candy, toys, whatever you think kids might enjoy!  Remember - one child's junk is another's treasure!  Any donations should be sent to school and teachers will route them to our collection point.  Thank you in advance and Gobble, Gobble!
