Weekly Update for 28 to Nov. 1
Dear Families,
Just a reminder on Tuesday, October 29th, from 4:30 - 5:30 pm, Truscott will be hosting a yoga class for adults. Donations for the class will go directly to Café con Leche to support our students/teachers. One of our Truscott parents is leading the class.
On Thursday, October 31st, students will not be dressing in costumes at school. Please leave them at home for use that evening on your own. Hopefully, your family attended the Trunk or Treat event on Thursday the 24th, where costumes were allowed. If your child comes in their costume, we will be giving you a call to ask you to help change them into other clothes. Thanks for your support!!
We will once again be creating an Ofrenda at school to celebrate Día de los Muertos. If you would like your family member to be added to our locked display case, please send their picture to the front office. Pictures can be picked up the week of November 11th.
Save the date: On Monday, November 11th, Truscott students, staff and families will be participating in the Loveland Veterans Day Parade. The parade begins at 11:11 am. Students will be on each side of Garfield Ave. waving flags. We will also be recognizing any Truscott family member who is a veteran or currently serving in our armed forces. Please come to the All School Assembly at 7:50 am to be honored. Please reach out if you have any questions.
Have a nice weekend,

With Field Trips Starting up, Do you Want to be a Volunteer?
If volunteers and chaperones can go on a field trip, do you want to be one? If so, you need to go to the Thompson School District website and fill out a volunteer form. You must be an approved volunteer to go on the field trip. If you are not sure if you are an approved volunteer please call me and I can look you up in the system.
Here is the website you need to go to and this needs to be done at least two weeks prior to the field trip.
