Dear PLES!
Halloween was so much fun yesterday! It was wonderful to see so many students in costumes!
Our Watch D.O.G.S. program has kicked off! This is a national program that focuses on increasing the number of positive male role models in schools. Watch D.O.G.S. sign up to spend a day in school assisting with student arrival, classroom activities, lunch and recess supervision, and dismissal. Watch D.O.G.S. also get to eat lunch with their student!
For more information on Watch D.O.G.S., please email Holly Oliver at holiver@avongrove.org. Positive male role models with clearances on file with the district can sign up here. Thank you to Mr. Hyde who was our Watch D.O.G. today!
Today an orange note came home in your child’s folder regarding a Holiday Food Drive. We will be collecting food for a food pantry in West Grove. Donations are due by Friday, 11/15.
Kindergarten: Beans (dried or canned), soup, other canned goods/vegetables
First Grade: Tomato products (sauce, canned), side dishes (stuffing, mashed potatoes, rice, etc.)
Have a great weekend!
