Happy Fall Break, everyone!

It was wonderful to see so many of you at conferences on Tuesday and Wednesday evening. I know I say this often but it is one of our greatest blessings to partner with all of you in this work. We are so grateful to have a family community that is deeply engaged in their children's learning and encouraging of their growth both as people and as learners.

Next Monday, we begin quarter 2. Grades will start over again and we will determine semester grades by averaging their quarter 1 and quarter 2 grades. They will remain in the same schedule unless we have contacted you about a second quarter schedule change.

Next week, we have our annual Fall Festival! This amazing family event is run by our student council and PTA. There will be games, prizes, and lots of fun! Wear your Halloween costumes (no blood, gore or weapons, please) and join us! This event is for families so students will need to be with their family to attend. See below for an opportunity to sign up to provide baked goods for the VERY popular cake walk.

Thank you so much for the delicious lunch for staff on Tuesday! We are so spoiled by all of you!

Thank you for supporting and believing in your neighborhood school. It is our privilege to partner with you!

Our book study on the book 10-25:The Science of Motivating Young People by David Yeager. The book is about how to help young people between the ages of 10 and 25 to feel inspired, enthusiastic, and ready to contribute rather than discouraged, outraged or overwhelmed. It is equally powerful for parents, educators, mentors, coaches, and managers. We have a wonderful group of parents and staff members and have powerful conversations each week. We meet on Wednesday evenings at 5:00. Purchase the book, read chapter 4, and join us in the conference room on Wednesday evening!

Elementary School Outreach:
5th grade families in our area are visiting middle schools and gathering info about their options this month.

If this is something that interests you, please email everittpta@gmail.com. Thank you!

Ways to help raise funds for Everitt PTA:
- Does your employer provide matching funds or are they looking for a community non-profit to donate to?

Everitt PTA is a 501c3 non-profit and would be happy to talk to your employer or help with any paperwork needed. While we focus on community building and not fundraising, additional funds could be put to good use helping to outfit more classrooms with the SmartBoard technology your kids have used in some, and all rooms can make great use of them!

- Have you linked your King Soopers Community Rewards yet?

Help raise funds for Everitt just by doing your grocery shopping! Everitt PTA is enrolled in the King Soopers Community Rewards Program. This is a great way to support the school without spending additional money, all you have to do is enroll and King Soopers will give back to Everitt! 🍎🌽🥦🍊
