FALL FESTIVALWe need raffle basket items for our Fall Festival. Please continue to send items to school with your child until next Wednesday. There will be a table set up at the school on Parent Visitation day. If you are planning to attend, you can drop your items off there. Please get these items in soon so we can display the baskets before the Fall Festival.
Basket themes are as follows:

Kindergarten - Family Fun
First Grade - Pamper Me
Second Grade - Arts and Crafts
Third Grade - Taste of the River Region
Fourth Grade - Roll Tide/War Eagle
Fifth Grade - Gift Card Basket

The last day to purchase wristbands for $12 is Monday, October 16. Wristbands will be $15 on the day of the event. Purchase them today at the Bear PTA web store.

BEAR WEAR
Even though it is still 90 degrees, it will be COLD before you know it. Do you know where your child’s school jacket is? Bear Wear order forms will be available on Parent Visitation Day for you to fill out. You can pay in person or send money in with your child the following week. We will have some items on hand (magnets, caps) for sale on Friday. You can buy Bear Wear at the Bear PTA web store.

SPECIALIST SPOTLIGHT
For each month of the school year, we will choose a Bear Specialist to shower with some extra love. Please have your child bring in items from this teacher’s wish list. When your child brings in an item, make sure that he/she signs the Gift Log. At the end of the month, one student from the Gift Log (chosen at random) will win a Nancy’s gift card and a Bear Buck (good at the school supply cart and the Book Fair).

OCTOBER’S SPECIALIST IS MRS. HARRISON – LITERACY COACH
Mrs. Harrison will have a box and a Gift Log sheet on a table near the Third Grade classrooms.

·         New Books
·         Used Books
·         Rubber Bands
·         Gallon Ziploc bags
·         AA Batteries
·         Office Depot Gift Cards (for ink)

DISCOUNT CARDS
Discount Cards will be available for purchase on Parent Visitation Day. They make great tokens of appreciation for your mail carrier, UPS/FedEx delivery people, sanitation workers, etc. We are close to hitting a BIG number (a record!!), and we’d love to sell just a few more cards…
