Happy  October, Ambrosini Families,

I can’t believe I am already writing our October newsletter. September just blew past and Fall is in full swing.

We held our first lunch on the lawn in September. The weather held off for the day, and we had a great turnout. Thank you for joining us.

If you ordered spiritwear, the order has been placed, and it usually takes about a month to receive our order. They will be sent home with your child when we receive them. We keep a small supply on hand in the office for purchase in case you did not order one and would still like a t-shirt or sweatshirt. 

We will be holding our 2nd lunch on the Lawn on Tuesday, Oct. 15th. TK/K eats at 10:40, 1st grade at 11:00. 2nd grade at 11:20, 3rd grade at 11:40, and 4th grade at 12:00. We hope you or someone from your family can join us that day. 

We are excited to have Nancy Viau as our visiting author from the Humboldt County’s Children Author Festival on Oct. 18th. We will hold an assembly where she will read some of her books and share her experiences of being an author. 

We will hold our monthly fire drill on Oct. 22nd. The California ShakeOut will be held on Oct. 17th, and we will be joining others in California and practicing our earthquake drill.

It’s book fair time!!! It will be held Oct. 28th - Nov. 1st. This is a great time to support our library and foster the love of books with your child. It’s always a wonderful place to do some holiday shopping. 😊

Picture retake day is Oct. 30th. If you want to have a retake of your child’s school photo, let the office know. 

The Halloween parade will start at 8:30 am on Oct. 31st. We will parade around the campus, so families are welcome to line up in the hallways and courtyards to watch. We will have a photo backdrop located by the office for you to take pictures of your Halloween cutie.  Just a reminder that costumes should not be scary or gory. We have TK and kindergarten students on campus, and we want the event to be fun for all. If the costume includes weapons (swords, guns, knives, etc.) please leave them at home. Only school-appropriate items can be brought to school. Thank you for understanding.
