Hi Families!
Many of you have already seen Mrs. Brittingham’s flyer about our Title I Campfire Tales and Math Trails event happening on October 29th from 5–7 PM. This year, we’re adding a fun new twist — a Trunk or Treat! 🚗🍬
To help make it a sweet success, we’re launching Candy Wars! Families can send in candy, fruit snacks, or small trinkets to feed our Candy Monster in the front lobby. Please label your donation with your child’s house name and/or color — each bag or box earns their house one point! 🏆
Here are the House Names and Colors for reference:
💙 Reveur – Blue
🖤 Altruismo – Black
🩵 Prontos – Teal
💜 Nukumori – Purple
🧡 Onraka – Orange
A huge thank you to Janelle Simpson for creating our amazing Candy Monster, and to Amy Weaver for designing our festive Candy Wars flyer! 💕
Let’s see which house can collect the most treats and take home the Candy Wars crown! 👑🍭
