Chess Club will meet in the LMC from 3:35 – 4:35 pm on the following dates: October 23rd, November 13th, December 11th, January 15th & 29th, February 12th & 26th, and March 11th. Each meeting is an independent lesson; attend as many as you can. Parent volunteers are welcome during our meetings (no Chess experience required). To sign up, email Stephanie Jennrich
Halloween Parties
Classroom party planning is underway!
We would like to remind you to think before you buy Halloween candy and trinkets. Is it nut free, store bought, allergy and classroom approved?
If you have yet to volunteer at school, please stop in the office to fill out a volunteer form. Once again, we will have a Halloween volunteer list that the office will use to print out the badges. If you are not on the office list, you will not be able to enter the building and classroom party.
Look for the sign up genius link your room reps will be emailing to make your classroom party a success! You can also find your classroom sign up genius link on the Olive PTA website under the Volunteer Sign-Up tab.
Have a SPOOKtacular Party!!!
