Happy Friday, Families!
Today was a beautiful day to host our Jog-a-thon! The theme this year was Jungle Animals. Thank you to our PTO and Mr. Lavallee for coordinating this fun community event. Registration and donations will be open until October 11th. (Register at mybooster.com.)
Lastly, with the cooler weather settling in, please dress your child in layers. Early morning recess or snack can be chilly if not dressed appropriately. If you need winter hats, gloves or coats please reach out to me directly as I can help assist (emcguire@sksd-ri.net)
Have a wonderful weekend,

Pumpkin Carving Contest
Sign up for our Pumpkin Carving Contest HERE!
If you would like to participate you must sign up by Monday, October 21st, as you need to be provided with an entry number. Pumpkins are not to have the student's name listed on the pumpkin, they are to have the assigned number that will be emailed to the email provided, on the top of the pumpkin next to the stem. This entry number MUST be written on the top of the pumpkin next to the stem.
Pumpkins are to be dropped off at the front of the school between Monday, October 21st and Wednesday, October 23rd. If pumpkins are dropped off after that time, or if the participant number is not written on the pumpkin, they may not make it into the contest.
This is open to all students to participate. Students will have the opportunity to judge and select their favorite decorated pumpkins on Thursday, October 24th. Winners will be announced in school on Pumpkin Day, Friday October 25th and given a small prize. Pumpkins must be taken home by Thursday, October 31st or they will be disposed of by the school.
