The Latest CAPT News
At CAPT's meeting last Tuesday, we voted that 10% of income from Penny Wars will be used to buy all classes outdoor toys and indoor games/toys. A survey will be sent soon for suggestions from the teachers. We're very excited to give back to the school in this way!
Fall Mini Book Fair
Our Fall Scholastic Mini Book Fair is coming up! We'll be in the lobby during Parent/Teacher Conferences on November 17th and 18th.

Got an hour to help us? We are looking for help with setup, working the register (super easy to learn!), and packing up the fair. Morning/afternoon/evening time slots are available here:
Holiday Shop is Returning to Hansen!
We are so excited to announce that we're bringing the Holiday Shop back to Hansen this year! It will be on December 2nd. All students will have the opportunity to shop for family and friends during school hours. All items will be $5 or less. Stay tuned for the envelope going home with a budgeting chart.

To help with this program, we are looking for winter decorations to help make the room festive! We will take donations or we can borrow and return. We will also be collecting food donations for our teachers to thank them for letting us interrupt their day.

Lastly, we will need lots of help! A SignUpGenius will be coming out, but we're looking for help with setup the night before, running the program the day of (helping kids shop, check out, and/or gift wrapping), and clean up. So, mark your calendar: Dec 2nd is going to be a fun day!

Any questions or to send over decorations, please contact Erin Bosco at hansencaptprogramming@gmail.com.
