Brown School News for Oct. 19-23, 2015

Announcements
The Brown School Breakfast is coming up on October 24, 8:00-11:00 am.  This is a fun opportunity to come and share breakfast with your Brown School family and friends, and be served by some of our great Brown School parents.  Information sheets are coming home today.  We look forward to seeing you there!

Walk-a-Thon: We just wrapped up our second week of the Walkathon and wanted to thank all of the wonderful volunteers who gave of their time so the kids could have a great experience. We have some really impressive walkers/runners out here and right now our top three are Carter Wente with 99 laps, Benson Holleman with 76, and Kole Parrett with 74. Those are some pretty amazing numbers! We are also still accepting blue pledge forms, if you haven't turned one in yet. Remember this is our only PTO fundraiser for the year and we want to make sure we can have all our wonderful activities and help repair the track. Thanks for all of your support!

Halloween is quickly approaching, here are the things you need to know for this year:
All kids can dress up.  Be mindful of costumes and especially those that require make-up.  We are asking that kids are dressed up all day this year so simple is best.  Children may want to go without the make-up or the bulky parts of their costumes for school.  Parties will be at various times and will be scheduled by classroom teachers.  Teachers will decide how many parents can come into their classrooms to help.  All parents are welcome to attend the parade which will be for 1st through 5th grade and hopefully, (weather permitting) will be outside. The parade will begin at 3:20pm and parents may check their kids out with the classroom teacher after the parade.

You can access all approved flyers for activities and events at the Community Corkboard on the district website: http://www.sjschools.org/sjps-parents/community-cork-board-district   This week, there is a Jaier Soccer Spring Supplemental Tryouts Flyer and the Flyer for our Panera Fundraiser Night.
