Halloween
Our Fall Celebration With Books will be Wednesday,
October 30th!
Your child may wear a costume to school (book
characters encouraged)
No masks, scary make-up, wigs, weapons or
props--anything that could be a distraction.
The costume must be something that can be worn all
day. Tennis shoes are encouraged.
Since the focus is on reading your child can bring
a favorite book or two from home as well as a small stuffed animal (it needs to
be able to fit in the backpack).
Fun
Fest is Friday!
Pumpkin drop sales for the Fun Fest will start tomorrow
and continue Wednesday and Thursday or until numbers are sold out. Below is a
description of the pumpkin drop. Pumpkin numbers will be available for purchase
in the commons in the morning. Committee members will also come to Kindergarten
classrooms to help the little ones purchase their numbers. If interested in
participating, please make your purchases early. We DO sell out of numbers
every year. Good luck!
Pumpkin Drop:
Pumpkin drop is a very popular part of our Fun
Fest. The Fun Fest committee will be selling pumpkin numbers in the Commons the
week of Fun Fest. Each number purchased corresponds to a small foam pumpkin.
You are purchasing pumpkin numbers for a chance to win a wide range of prizes.
On the soccer field a target will be marked with numbered flags. Each flag will
represent a prize. A hot air balloon (weather permitting) will be raised above
the target and the numbered pumpkins will be dropped to the target. The pumpkin
that lands closest to each numbered flag will win the prize that correlates
with that flag. Watching the pumpkins drop is always exciting and the winners
will be posted in the Commons during the Fun Fest.
Prices for Pumpkins are:
1 for $5
3 for $10
8 for $20
20 for $50
Here is additional information about Fun Fest if
you have questions about the event!
Our Cougar Fun Fest is October 25th from
5:00-8:00pm. This is a family fun night as well as a fundraising opportunity
for our PTA. PTA very generously supports our classrooms in a variety of ways
including field trips, classroom materials, technology, assemblies, playground
equipment, and much more. In order to meet the school’s needs, the PTA works
very hard to raise funds that go directly back into your child’s classroom. We
hope that the information below answers all your questions so you know what to
expect!
Classroom Raffle Baskets:
Each classroom is responsible for creating a
basket of themed items. These baskets will be displayed in the Commons during
Fun Fest. You may purchase raffle tickets prior to Fun Fest or the day of the
Fun Fest. Tickets are $1 each or 6 tickets for $5. Once you have your tickets,
you will place your name and phone number on the back of each ticket. Then you
may choose which raffle basket you would like to win. You will place your raffle
tickets in a bucket next to the basket you hope to win. If your ticket is
pulled out you win the basket. These drawings are done at the end of Fun Fest.
If you need to leave the Fun Fest early and your ticket gets pulled, your
basket will be available in the office for pickup.
Games:
On the black top, there will be a large variety of
fun carnival games for kids to play as well as a bounce house. You will have
the opportunity to purchase game bands prior to the Fun Fest and also at the
Fun Fest. The bands will permit your child to participate in all games. These
are super fun and lots of prizes can be won. Bands cost $10 each. Each child
playing must have their own game band.
Silent Auction:
The Silent Auction will be located in the
Gymnasium. There are a wide variety of items at all price points. Please make
sure to stop by and check out many of the fabulous items donated to our
auction. We are always looking for great donations for our auction, so if you
have an item or idea for the silent auction, please let your child’s teacher
know.
Food Trucks:
Food Trucks will be at the Fun Fest for food
purchase. A portion of all food sales will be donated back to Mill Creek.
