Happy Friday! Thank you for all your donations for our 2nd grade raffle basket!! It looks AMAZING!!!!!! When I receive the raffle link from PTO, I'll post it on Seesaw.
These are the beautiful trees I see each morning as I drive into school! We really have had a beautiful fall! That being said, the weather is getting chilly, especially in the morning during morning recess. PLEASE make sure your child has a coat or sweatshirt for morning recess. The rule is that they wear coats when the temp is 50 or lower. Thank you for your support!
We are having a BOO BREAKFAST for our Halloween Celebration the morning of October 31. Students may wear costumes to school, enjoy our Boo Breakfast, then change before morning recess. We will be doing other Halloween crafts and activities throughout the day, too! It should be a fun day!
A few reminders:
- We have a field trip on November 1 to the Howell Theater. We are going to see the movie version of the book we read earlier in the year, The Boxcar Children! Chaperones will be Mrs. Bott, Mr. Pedigo, and Mrs. Linhart! Students will not need a sack lunch. We will return to school before their regular lunchtime.
- October 27 is the Hutchings Trunk-or Treat! Our grade level is putting together a Squishmallow Basket to raffle off! All the money earned from raffle tickets will go to our classrooms! A raffle ticket will be put into the drawing on your child's behalf, if they bring in a donation! :)
- I am still looking for a parent representative to attend PTO meetings. Please let me know if you are willing to serve in this capacity!
- If you would like to volunteer in our classroom this year, please make sure you have filled out all the paperwork and have been cleared in the office before signing up! Here is the sign-up for Classroom Volunteers!
- Please note: We do not celebrate birthdays with edible treats in 2nd grade. You are welcome to send in a pencil, small toy, or trinket for your child to pass out, if you wish! We will make sure their day is special regardless! 🎉

The Book Bus will be on site for the Trunk or Treat again this year! It was a hit with the kids last year and we are so excited that Mrs. Deurloo was able to coordinate it again this year.
