Happy Monday!
It's conference week, which means we get to see a lot more families in the building and connect around all the hard work your children have been doing these last few months of school. I am excited to meet more of you in person, and I hope you are eager to check in on the learning we've been engaged in this year, too. If you don't remember your conference time, simply click on this link to access all of the teacher's Sign Up Genius links.
Trunk or Treat October 25:
This Friday is the big day! We hope you'll join us for our annual Trunk or Treat event at Maple Grove. We have plenty of room for decorated cars, are in need of more candy donations, and we're always looking for helpful volunteers. Click on this link to sign up today!

October 31st Fun: Mark Your Calendars!
We are looking forward to our Fall Costume Parade on October 31. Just a reminder that we do have some expectations around what types of costumes learners may wear for the parade, and we are excited to have families join us, too! If you haven't already, make your calendars and plan to join us on October 31 at 3:00 pm at Jackson Park for the parade. Younger siblings are encouraged to join and dress up, too! Can't wait to see you there!
Have Extra Costumes Lying Around?
If you'd like to donate any costumes to our school to keep and lend out each year, please feel free to drop those off in the main office or send them with your child to school in a bag marked "Donation". We know not every family may have a costume to wear, but we'd love everyone to be a part of the fun. Gently used dress up clothes, costumes, princess dresses, etc. would be welcome!
Coming Soon: Maple Grove Culture Fair
Maple Grove wants to celebrate all of the cultures that make up our school! We are looking to have a celebration during our book fair in February and we want YOU! If you and your family have some cultural traditions you would like to share with our school community, such as clothing, songs, food, dance, etc., please fill out THIS FORM by November 1 to tell us about what you would like to share. We are eager to learn more about your families and cultures as we celebrate the uniqueness of our community.
It's a great day to be a Grizzly!
