Kasper's Notes
Great week at Mayo, and another on the way! This week we will have what some people call the best week in an elementary school - the Book Fair! We will also be having our Choose to be Nice Kickoff assemblies. Our word for the month of October is R - E - S - P - E - C -T! (Don't pretend you didn't just sing that in your head like Aretha!) In addition, we will be doing our monthly Lost and Found clean out on Friday.
I am happy to announce that our Title 1 tutor has joined us at Mayo. Welcome to Christie Powers who will be here Mondays through Thursdays.
New things I learned this week at Mayo - Grade 4B are incredible poets, Grade 2C now knows everything you can imagine about apples, and the students (surprisingly) like BUMBLEBEES more than UNICORNS!
Kindly,
Carolan Kasper
Principal
Costume Coin Drive decision
Due to the generosity of the students at Mayo, over $500 was raised to support the library!
From September 25th -29th we collected money in the school lobby.
The students voted on which animal Mrs. Kasper will dress up on Wednesday 10/4!
It was a battle between a Bumblebee and a Unicorn.
The BUMBLEBEE WON! (Oh Boy!)

I am excited to share information about the Choose to be Nice program starting this week. We will be having a school assembly on Wednesday to get the kids excited about this initiative. We will also be holding Celebrations at the end of each month for the topic of the month.
