Happy Wednesday Thunderbirds!
Fall Carnival is almost here! We can’t wait for THES to be buzzing with costumes, games, a cakewalk, photo booth, inflatable, and a haunted hallway. The fun runs from 5–8 pm and all are welcome—don’t miss this spooktacular event!
If you have not done so already, please sign–up for your classroom booths in the school lobby or online. Also, please make sure to donate your grade–level designated food item. Food drop-offs start on Friday at 7:30 am in the teachers’ lounge. Cakes for the “Cake Walk” should also be dropped off in the teachers’ lounge on Friday morning. Please bring toys and stuffed animals to the box outside the office, Monday–Friday this week. These will be prize giveaways for our booths and are greatly appreciated.
Food and Drink Donations requests by grade:
- PreK: cookies
- Kinder: fruit (cut fruit from the store: apples, grapes, berries, melon)
- 1st: bottled water
- 2nd: hot dogs, hotdog/hamburger buns
- 3rd: shredded cheddar cheese, whole pickles
- 4th: tortilla chips, water
- 5th: Fritos (no scoops)
WITH YOUR SUPPORT, FALL CARNIVAL WILL BE YET ANOTHER GREAT SUCCESS!
Help us keep the Haunted Hallway Open!
We need additional parent/adult volunteers to sign up to work in our Haunted Hallway at Carnival THIS FRIDAY! Hallway volunteers are encouraged to dress up and join the fun along with our student volunteers. If you are able to help, please sign up online. If we don’t get enough volunteers, we’ll have to close the hallway early, and that would be a bummer!
It’s Box Top time!
Due October 26
Every year we collect Box Tops to raise money for special projects around the school. Box Tops equal 10¢ each and they quickly add up. Our goal this year is $1,000…that’s 10,000 Box Tops! If every student brings in 25 Box Tops for the entire school year, we’ll hit our goal and then some! The class with the MOST Box Tops out of lower grades (PK-2nd) and upper grades (3rd- 5th) will win a special reward! You can turn in Box Tops to your teacher at any time, but only Box Tops collected by October 26 will count towards the special prize!
