Get your "Scare" on!

Good morning, everyone!

Just a couple of reminders:

The deadline for signing up for the second annual Trunk-or-treat event has been moved to Wednesday the 22nd.  "Trunkers" open the trunks of their cars, which are decorated in any theme you'd like (last year we had pirate ships, graveyards, luaus...it's amazing how creative everyone was while decorating their trunks), and "treaters" wear their Halloween costumes and go car to car for treats!  We do this right in the school parking lot, so no one is on the street and there are no moving vehicles.

We do ask that the trunkers purchase candy from our approved candy list, due to food allergies.  That list is located in the Thursday Memo Attachment page of our school website.

The sheet to sign up is also located on the website under attachments-we need to know approximately how many children are coming.

We do hope you will join us again this year.  It was so much fun last year!  Please direct any questions to one of the board members.

Hope to see you there!

There's a "Monster" at the end of this post!

Happy Friday!  As our candy sale draws to a close, please remember to send in your checks so that we can close out the fundraiser on time.  The deadline for returns is this coming Monday, October 20th.  

Christmas Club Raffle tickets came home last week with your children.  The deadline for returns is October 24th.  Please send requests for more tickets to the office.  

Our first general meeting is next Wednesday, October 22nd at 6:00 PM.  This month, we will have a presentation by Ms. Ricci, our school counselor.  Immediately following, there will be a committee meeting for anyone interested in helping to plan this year's play, Peter Pan, Jr.  Please join us if you can!

Plans are in full swing for our annual Christmas Boutique!  If you can hang up or circulate a flyer for this event, please email me (eclark@stmaryschoolri.org) and I will send one home.  If you know anyone who might like to rent a space, please have them contact us also.  

Movie Night is scheduled for November 7th.  Why not drop off the children and enjoy a few "free" hours?  The children have pizza and snacks and watch a movie-they are awfully cute with their pillows and sleeping bags!  More information will be coming home shortly about this event.

Thank you so much for your continued support of our endeavors.  We are truly blessed at St. Mary's to have such wonderful, involved families!

There was a farmer had a dog...

...and Bingo was his name-o!  Remember to buy your tickets for next Thursday's Bingo night!  Space is limited.  This is an adults-only event!

    Christmas Club Raffle Calendars will come home (5 per family) soon.  If you would like more, please send a note into school.

     If you are signing up to Trunk or Treat (or both), please fill out the form and send it back to school with your child.

     Anyone interested in renting a space at our annual Christmas Boutique can call the school office or email a board member for more information.  Table rental is $35.

Thanks for all you do to make our school so successful!  We will be (finally) walking today since the weather has cooperated!

Have a wonderful weekend!
