Principal's Pen

Greetings Chaffee Families,

It’s Red Ribbon Week! A flyer was sent home this past week with each day’s theme. The flyer is also included in this newsletter. We hope your child(ren) will join us in dressing up each day. Thursday is extra special as it’s Book Character Day! Students may dress as a book character who makes good choices (please remember that anything symbolizing/resembling a weapon should not be brought to school). We will have a Book Character Parade at the track at 1pm, weather permitting.

Our Fall Festival is this Friday, and we hope to see you there! We still need volunteers. Have a high school student who needs volunteer hours? They can volunteer too! Volunteer here. We need everyone to pitch in to make this event possible!

Please remember that students need tennis shoes/sneakers for PE daily. Wearing proper shoes prevents injuries.

How can you best help your child learn? Make sure he/she reads nightly! Read together—your child will love this time with you!

Soar Eagles,

April Clark

Principal
