Halloween Party!

October 24, 2016

Dear Parents in Mr. Avey’s Class,

We are excited to be the room parents for Mr. Avey’s awesome sixth graders!  We are in the process of planning the Halloween Party and we think it is going to be a lot of fun. 

The party will start at 12 noon on Monday, October 31.  The kids will enjoy lunch from Taco Nayarit (taco truck).  Lunch includes tacos (chicken, beef, pork and/or vegetarian) with all the fixings, snacks, drinks, and dessert.  Then they will have free choice between the three classrooms with a karaoke room, game room and movie room. 

We are hoping to collect $20 for each student to cover the costs of the Halloween party, as well as the Holiday Party and Valentine’s Day Party.  Any money left over will go towards the end of year celebration.
Please send $20 cash in the attached envelope with your child’s name, attention Jen Ursino at your earliest convenience.

We would love for you to join us for the Halloween Party next Monday!  Hope to see you there!

Jen Ursino (Dominic’s mom) and Christy Tall (Riley’s mom)

Teacher In-Service on Friday

No School on Friday
- Teacher In-Service - Math Workshops

*Monday is a normal school day. However, students do NOT need to show up at the usual time. It's best if students come at 8:30, after the drop off traffic has settled down. It makes it easier to unload gear. The buses don't leave school until 10:00.
