Hello Springton Manor Families

**Updated to include information about the SM Turkey Trot - Keep Reading for More Information**

We continue to have beautiful weather this fall. Don't forget to label your child's clothing and belongings. I also hope many of you have been able to enjoy the Northern Lights and most recently, the comet in the night's sky!

We are looking forward to our Springton Manor Fall Fest on Friday, October 25th!

Fall Fest is next Friday, October 25th from 5-7pm at Springton Manor Elementary! You must purchase wristbands for your family in order to attend. Pre-order your wristbands by Wednesday, October 23rd by clicking on the flyer below to save time and money. Wristbands will be sent home with students next week. Wristbands will be available at the entrance. See the flyer below for more details.

Halloween - Fall Spirit Wear - No Costumes at School.

In an effort to create life-long memories and encourage school spirit, we are inviting all students to be festive on October 31st but without costumes.

Students can dress in orange/black, Halloween themed, or fall colors. Students can also dress like their favorite book or movie character. Our hope is that students have some fun on Halloween at school without the worry of a costume. We know they will enjoy their costumes later that evening.

I understand that not all students participate in Halloween, and we hope that all students can enjoy the Fall Spirit on 10/31!

Red Ticket Recognition

*** We had some technical difficulties with the original link - please send your photos to Mrs. Force and we will look to post these photos around the school! ***

Mrs. Force: jforce@dasd.org

We are so proud of our Mindful Mustangs! We have so many kids earning those red tickets already this school year! We want to celebrate them! We are asking parents, to snap a photo of your child holding the red ticket that they earned with another family member (parent, grandparent, sibling - anyone). so that we can post them on our internal TV screens.

If you snap a photo - you can upload it using the link below. If your child earns more than one Red Ticket - feel free to snap and upload more than one picture!

SM Veteran's Day Event

SM Students and Staff will be participating in an assembly to show our appreciation for our local veteran's. Students will have an opportunity to enjoy a visit from a veteran too! SM HSA will be providing a lovely lunch for all of our Veteran's who can come out and make this day special. If you have a family member that has served in our armed forces and would be interested in participating in this event, please complete the form below.
