October 20-25

Dear parents,

Please mark these dates on your calendars!

Small Hands Catalog orders are due on October 20. Small Hands offers Montessori inspired books, toys, and activity kits for toddlers through middle school.  Your orders earn Pinewoods free classroom materials.  Take a moment to check out the catalog when making your holiday gift list.

Scholastic book orders are due on October 24. Our class earns points for each book your order, which go toward building our classroom library. 

There is a teacher workday on Monday, October 27. There is no school for students.

The annual Fall Festival is on October 31 from 4:30-6:30 pm. The children are invited to wear their costumes and join us for games and festivities. The admission is $5.00 per family. The elementary classes are thinking about selling sandwiches to hungry trick or treaters, with the proceeds going toward our field trip fund. Please let me know if your family is coming to the festival so that we can plan accordingly!

Finally, for the past few years, Pinewoods' elementary students have participated in the Hillsborough Holiday Parade.  This year, the parade will be held on Saturday, December 6 at 5:00pm.  In order for us to participate, we need a truck and trailer to use. Please let us know if you have a truck and/or trailer that we could use for the Pinewoods float in the parade. Thanks!
