**FUN FOOD FRIDAY** 2 WEEKS AWAY
Fun Food Friday is 2 weeks away! Students may purchase pizza, candy, sodas and more during their lunch period. It is our largest PTA fundraiser of the year and the kids really enjoy this day.
Thank you to everyone who has signed up to be a volunteer that day or who has offered to donate drinks. We cannot do it without you! If you are donating drinks, please have those delivered to the front office no later than Tuesday, November 12th so they can be cooled and ready to go.
No time to shop? Make a donation to FFF on the PTA website and let us handle the shopping for you! :)
**THANKFUL THANK YOU NOTES**
Are you thankful for a particular teacher or staff member? During this month we would like to highlight those that make our students academic journey a special one. Starting now until November 15, we will receive your "Thankful messages."
The PTA will add your message to a cute Thankful Turkey Note, print it out and deliver it to teacher/staff member before the Thanksgiving break.
Fill out a new Google form for each "Note" you wish to send. Both parents and students can submit notes.
**VOLUNTEERS OF THE MONTH**
Giselle Salbego
Giselle is our Sister School chair and works tirelessly to oversee activities and communication between our partnered school, Katy Junior High. At the start of October she organized a creative popcorn bar treat for Katy Junior High staff, and worked closely with the Katy Junior High Sister School chair to coordinate an equally fantastic popcorn bar for our teachers when they returned the favor.
VickyTillerson
Vicky Tillerson is our Communications chair and, as such, is responsible for preparing the weekly PTA Newsletter, as well as updating the website, facebook and other social media channels to keep the BDJH community informed of PTA events. It is a mammoth task, which she undertakes graciously, dedicating many hours each week to getting the task done. She deserves this recognition for all her tireless efforts, not only in communications, but also for the many extra hours she volunteers at so many of our PTA events.
Christy Wootan
Our Healthy Lifestyles chair, Christy has had a very busy few months. She did a fabulous job of planning the Fall Walk, Bike and Roll to school at the start of October and presented prizes to some lucky raffle prize winners. She also helped to bring awareness to our intolerance for drugs in our school, during a highly successful and imaginative Red Ribbon Week.
**PIE DONATIONS TO TEACHERS AND STAFF**
We are so THANKFUL for our teachers and staff!
Please consider donating $10 so that we can provide all BDJH teachers and staff with a gift card to purchase their own Thanksgiving pie. Your family name will be added to a card to let them know which family generously donated.
Thank you for supporting BDJH teachers and staff!
