Oct 17-21 Our jersey day was a great success for students and a partial success for the many teams we were supporting. Halloween Details: We’ll be celebrating Halloween in a way that lets students and staff have a bit of fun and do something for the community all at the same time. October 31 will be Costume and Pajama Day at New Brighton. Costumes need to be appropriate for an elementary school setting and replica weapons will need to stay at home. Regular school activities will continue and so costumes also need to allow for regular school participation including physical education (Halloween Style) and going outside for recess and over the lunch break. Masks that interfere with safe movement around the school may need to be removed. We feel learning can continue on what is an exciting day of Trick or Treat anticipation for many students. Post Halloween we would ask that parents are conservative in the number of treats students bring to school. Students can also know that the principal’s favorite Halloween treat is Rockets. We will be well into our Veteran’s Food Drive by October 31 and look forward to celebrating our school-wide effort to date on the 31st. October 31 is also a Special Lunch Day for those who have completed orders at HealthyHunger. Details are available on our school home page. School Council We had a great turnout of parents last week. The school shared some brief updates and our shared work towards to the mission of the CBE and New Brighton School. A PDF of the slides shared are located below. We appreciated the conversation around parking and drop-off and the offer for a group of parents to continue looking at ways to improve. We would like to remind parents that supervision is available on the compound/soccer fields from 7:55AM and that access to the compound is available from many access points surrounding the school. We would also like to remind parents that choosing convenience over safety results in many of the daily issues faced by most elementary schools including New Brighton School. If each parent and child followed existing rules and signage there would be far fewer issues. Indigo/Chapters Fundraiser Oct 17 and 18 We hope to see you on October 17 or 18 as we raise a bit of money for our Learning Commons collection. Details are on the school website and invitations were sent home last week. Picture Day Students are reminded to bring their best smiles to school on Oct 19 for Picture Day. Have a great week and feel free to contact us at the school if you have any questions. Jeff
