October Parent Newsletter

Please join us in recognizing and thanking our custodian Mr. Till, and our housekeeping crew, Mr. Ajamian, Ms. Hartzell, and Mr. Wunder. We are very appreciative of all of their hard work and effort each day on behalf of our students and staff.

We are inviting students and staff to celebrate Fun Friday on Friday, October 6th by wearing their favorite sports teams' spirit wear.

Join French Creek Elementary School at our Annual FC Football Night to be held on Friday, October 6th in the Owen J. Roberts Football Stadium.

Each French Creek student is being given one free student ticket for this game when chaperoned by an adult. (See attachment below.) Adult tickets will not be sold at the gate. You will need to download the free Ticket Spicket phone app to purchase additional tickets.

For safety purposes, NO child will be admitted without an adult….no drop-offs!

Let’s show the Owen J. Roberts community our French Creek pride! Wear your French Creek spirit wear and sit in the special French Creek section with your teachers and friends. We hope to see you there!

Dear Parents,

Join us on Friday, October 26th at 6:30 PM for Halloween Toy Bingo. Please bring gently used or new sneakers/shoes as a donation toward "In Ian's Boots".

Mr. Brewer, our FC STEAM teacher will be sharing monthly STEAM challenges for students and families to complete each month. These are optional, fun activities for everyone!

Mrs. Ponto, our school librarian will be hosting French Creek's annual Storybook Pumpkin Painting Contest. Please click on the link below for more information.

Now that after school activities are beginning, it is very important for parents to enter their child's after school plans into Pick Up Patrol. Please enter the club days as an afterschool activity and list the club name in the notes. If your child will not be attending the after school activity on a club date, please list his/her dismissal plan as a plan change and note that they won't be attending the club that day. This way we can ensure that all students are dismissed as quickly and accurately as possible.

Save the Date! The teachers and professional staff of the Roberts Education Association will be holding their Safe Trick or Treat event again this year. The date will be Thursday, October 26th. More information to follow!

French Creek will be hosting our annual Halloween Parade on Tuesday, October 31st at 1:30 PM. We welcome you to park, and then join us outside in the front of the building for the parade.

*AM kindergarten teachers will communicate the time for their morning parade in their upcoming weekly newsletter.

Please see additional information below:

• Students are invited to bring/wear costumes to school on the 31st provided that they are appropriate and comfortable. Any student needing to put on their costume may do so between 1:00-1:15 PM.

• Costumes must not include WEAPONS, BLOOD OR GORE!
