Principal's Newsletter 10/30/11

The Lady Falcons have returned to their championship form! Our girls' soccer team will play for the league championship this coming Tuesday evening at 5:00 on the pitch at Catlin Gabel. Please join me in supporting them in person! I know it's the night after Halloween, but the weather should be gorgeous and these girls really deserve our support!

All of our Fall athletes, and their coaches, deserve congratulations for seasons well played. The boys lost an extremely close thriller last week (in penalty kicks) to end their successful season, and volleyball concluded as well.

Basketball practices for 7th and 8th graders will begin following the Thanksgiving holiday; sixth graders begin later in the Winter. All interested athletes should contact Leslie Charuhas as soon as possible.

Halloween

For those families new to our district, the annual Halloween parade is a lot of fun. On Monday the students should arrive to school without costumes -- they will have time to prepare and change prior to festivities. At 2:15 our Leadership students will pick up the pre-K through 2nd grade students to begin the parade. They will pick up more students as they head North down the hall, exiting the building near the 4th grade classrooms and looping around the front of the building. Parents will form a parade route extending from the main parking lot to the covered play area.

A few reminders about Halloween:
  • Costumes should not include weapons of any kind
  • The "Pio Patrol" -- Lewis & Clark student athletes will be on duty during the evening, watching for safety.
  • This year our leadership class, with sophomore Megan G., have planned a UNICEF drive -- please consider participating in this worthy effort!
