Happy Fall!
A word from your PTSA presidents
Trick or treat! What a spectacular
time of year--
the leaves are turning gold and
orange and hues of red. F
all
is definitely in full effect!
Did yo
u know that more American presidents are born in the month of October than any other month (Adams, Hayes, Arthur, Roosevelt, Eisenhower and Carter)? Did you also know that later this month, on October 26
th,
we will have our annual jog-a-thon? This is an awesome opportunity for parents and family members to come support our kiddos as we raise money for the PTSA and have a spooktacular time. So come in your favorite costume, get ready to dance (did someone say DJ?!) and don't forget to wear some comfy shoes
as we RUN
RUN
RUN
the day
away.
From all of us at the PTSA, we
hope that this month brings you and yours
an amazing harvest time
and we hope to see you soon!
