Thank you to the PTO and Davis families for a fun-filled Friday evening at Trunk or Treat! The Trunk Artists were full of creative ideas, activities, and CANDY! There were so many amazing costumes - both kids and adults! The weather was perfect. It was great to come together as a Davis family and spend time with friends. Thank you to everyone who volunteered and participated:)

(Parents, there was part of a costume that was found at the end of Trunk or Treat. If you are missing a costume piece, please email the PTO at DavisSchoolPTO@gmail.com )

In the Art Studio our creative artists have been creating within our Drawing, Collage, and Painting Centers. They are utilizing the Art Process:

1LM students are enjoying their Wonders reading work with partners. Also, the class celebrated a PAW party with pajamas and stuffed animal day last week. They also had a monthly auction for the students to spend their “Miller” money.

Fall parties are right around the corner, and we would like you to be aware of our plans and expectations so that you can help your student to prepare. Our celebration is scheduled for Thursday, October 31st.

Parade

The parade will be held outside from 1:55 to 2:15 pm. Parents may line up around the Kindergarten playground off of Horne Street to watch the parade.

• Classroom parties will run from 2:15 pm to 3:00 pm

• Room Parents will be allowed to go to classrooms at 1:30 pm for party setup and to assist with costumes after they have checked in at the office

• In the event of inclement weather, there will not be a parade

Costume & Party Guidelines

Students should bring costumes in a bag. Costumes must be appropriate for school. Costumes should not be violent or scary in nature. No blood, guts, or weapons. No masks. Make-up is discouraged because it is difficult to apply. No bare midriffs or scant clothing. Students may be asked to remove or put away any parts of costumes based on teacher judgment.

• Room Parents who are assisting with the parties should not wear disguises that would make it difficult to recognize them as a safe person

• Only Room Parents may attend the classroom parties and assist students.

Room Parent Guidelines

• No more than 4 room parents per classroom may attend. (Others may assist with preparations or goody bags). Sign-up for Room Parents was completed through our PTO in September.

• If you have never had your ID/drivers license scanned at the school, it is very helpful to have that done prior to the party. Stop by the office at your convenience.

• Lead Parent: Work with the classroom teacher & other room parents on activities/games for the party

• Lead Parent: Coordinate with the teacher & other room parents on any non-edible goody bags to be sent home. No food treats will be eaten during the party or sent home.

Davis Student Council members worked to decorate the box to collect toys for the Big Hearts of Fox Valley Toy Drive. Davis will be collecting new & unwrapped toys the week of November 4th-8th. Please see flier below for more information.
