Hello Super Wonderful Northridge Elementary folks,

Thank you for coming or connecting for Parent-Teacher Conferences. We enjoyed seeing you and discussing your child. Thanks ,too, for coming to Donuts for grown-ups and the Book Fair. Thank you, PTO, for your leadership for both.

Thank you for all the donations for our FOOD DRIVE. Food is so expensive right now BUT you gave so generously. Thank you from everyone!!!

We are now collecting candy or trinket donations for our upcoming Trunk or Treat November 4th. Please drop off in the office or send in with a student. Thanks for supporting our efforts.

• The New Eager Engineer and Art clubs start this week. If you would like to register, here is the link to connect.
• New Art Club- Tuesdays Gr. 4-5: 10/22– 12/3- 3:30pm-4:30pm
• Eager Engineers 3:30pm-4:30pm- Mondays Gr. 3-5: 9/9– 11/25* w/ Mr. Elkhoury Wednesdays Gr. K-2: 9/11– 12/4* w/ Ms. Webb

• Halloween parties and parade will be at the end of the month on November 1st. Children may wear school appropriate costumes to school or easy "put-on" for parade and school party. Costumes must not be overly scarey or have props for school. Since we have little ones in the school we must be careful. Our parade will be out in front of school beginning around 1:45 followed by a Halloween party in classrooms. Due to space and security, we can only have a few folks help us for the party. Due to space we cannot have younger siblings. But do come to our parade and enjoy our excitement.

• We will have a TRUNK or Treat; 6:00-7:00 on November 4th- Our theme is READING IS FUN......games, games, games..... Dress up in costumes and come join us!! We are collecting candy and trinkets to give out if you would be able to support this fun event...we would sure appreciate it. Lots of sales right now and it takes so much to give to our ghosts and goblins. Please send in to the school office!! Thank you!!!

• Volunteer????We have folks wanting to volunteer in our school or perhaps attend upcoming field trips or parties. Kindergarten has a trip this month so be ready!!! Please complete these forms as part of our security process formality. Once we get the form back approved, we will get everyone board approved. :) All for the safety of our children. either one of these link work....
