I have sent out many emails on these subjects, so a quick summary of this busy week:
Halloween - costumes are allowed. No masks, at least for the school day. For the parade is fine if they can see. Our class party is at 2:00. Colleen Colburn is organizing this, if you want to help, please contact her (354-7318), or me via email and I will forward it to her. We need parents to bring food and some items for an activity and a game.
Conferences are Friday Nov. 1 and Monday Nov. 4. Please email me a preferred time and I will schedule you. If I don't hear from you, I'll schedule you anyway.
Project Presentations - Our Wax Museum project is shaping up. We will present at the Churchill County Museum on Tuesday, Nov. 5, from 2:00 -3:00. Thank you to all who have volunteered to drive. I have overwhelming response on drivers, and thank you for that! I will be contacting you to let you know how many kids I need you to take and the details of pick up and drop off. If you are not needed as a driver, please come and see the presentations. Bring family, friends, co-workers, the museum wants to get people in the doors. If you know any relatives or descendants of the person your child is studying, I would love to have you invite them as well!
One more note about the project. The kids need a costume that is historically accurate for their person. I know this is really a job for the parents, very few kids can come up with a costume on their own. I appreciate your help in this. The costume will add a lot to our presentations. A simple prop or photo is fine, but not needed. Costumes can come in this week, but we need them by Monday at the latest for a dress rehearsal in the classroom that day. Also, many of you had made additional trips and calls to the museum. Thank you for that. I know that this is a labor intensive project for the parents and I appreciate what you are doing to support your child's education. I hope you will be impressed when you see these presented. They are coming together nicely!
