Fall Beautification and Veterans Commemoration Day

 

Please join us on November 18th from 9am until 12pm for our annual Fall Beautification and Veterans Day Commemoration celebration. We will again plant bulbs that will beautifully welcome spring and do some fall clean up of the grounds and vegetable garden. As last year, we look forward to this day of service to our community in honor of the service our veterans have given to our country. Please sign up here .

 

Please send in names of veterans in your family to krsptogreenteam@gmail.com so we can do a roll call at the ceremony.

 

Separately, on November 16th we will harvest vegetables from our garden and do a tasting with the children during the school day.

Green Challenge of the Year: REDUCE, reuse, recycle.

 

Birthday parties. . .the cake, the pizza, the PRESENTS, the GOODIE BAGS!  How many of you have unopened toys stashed in your basement? Or have toys that were only played with once and are collecting dust?  Probably most of you reading this.  Below are some great ideas for birthday party gifts that don't involve toys. Also, consider doing away with goodie bags or instead giving one book or one toy that will last longer than one playtime!

• Gift certificate to Short Stories and/or McCools
• Personalized items from Cambridge Street Papers or Etsy (like water bottles, jewelry holders, stamps, hair ties, totes, vinyl decals)
• One year membership to Turtleback Zoo
• Tickets to a performance at Mayo

On Monday, November 20 and Tuesday, November 21 

(single-session days), 

the multi-purpose room will transform into the 

Wild, Wild West Book Fair! As always, there will be a wonderful selection of books including picture books, easy readers, chapter books, cookbooks, reference, and adult books.

 

Book Fair Hours:

Monday, November 20: 8:30am-2pm; 5-8pm

Tuesday, November 21: 8:30am-2pm

 

PLEASE NOTE: On Monday evening from 5-8pm, we will keep the Book Fair open so that working parents (and anyone else who would like to come!) can shop for books. We will not be holding a Books and Breakfast event this year.

 

We need volunteers to ensure the success of the fair.  

Sign up to help out when your child's class is at the fair! (Or any other time you'd like.) Feel free to bring your kids along while you work the fair!
