It’s BOO FEST Time!!
There’s a flyer following the newsletter with all the information about the Boo
Fest. There are a few activities on that day I’d
like to bring to your attention.
Display your artistic talent and enter the pumpkin
decorating contest! There are entries for children and
adults.
Do you make a delicious bowl of chili? Enter your
recipe in the chili cook off! This is one of the most
delicious events all year!
Finally the Food Zone is in need of volunteers. I’ll be
working the tables and would love to have some
help!
THANKS AND SEE YOU AT THE BOO FEST!
PRINCIPAL’S CORNER Dear PVES Family,It’s time to begin the 9irst round of Chats With the Principal! The Chats are open discussions where you can share your ideas, suggestions, concerns, and have your questions answered. They are organized by grade level allowing for you to network with other parents and discuss speci9ic concerns. We meet in the PVES library right after drop off. Communication between home and school is so important and that is the purpose of this weekly newsletter. It is equally important to have gatherings that provide the opportunity to speak with me and other parents. Here are the dates.October 17th -‐ 3rd Grade October 18th – 4th Grade October 21st – 2nd Grade October 25th – 1st GradeOctober 26th – Kinder November 1st – Fifth GradeNovember 1st – Sixth Grade at the special time of 6:00 p.m. I hope you will attend your grade level’s Chat and join the conversation! DonorsChoose.org is a United States based 501 nonpro9it organization that allows individuals to donate directly to public school classroom projects. Our teachers have posted request for funding through Donors Choose and over the past year have received over $40,000 to purchase things such as PE equipment: Yoga mats, hula hoops, a parachute, bean bags, various sizes of balls, and jump ropes, and Fitbits. They’ve received digital scales, Nutribullet blenders, electronic sound meters to measure volume and pitch of sounds. Hokki Stools (wobble stools for 9idgety kids), equipment to make a classroom bakery and cook healthy meals in the class (Instant Pot, Magic Bullet blender, and utensils to prep food) and more! PVES teachers are a very talented group that work everyday to provide the best education for your children. Thank you teachers for all that you do!With warmest of regards,
Rebecca JohnsonPrincipal

PVES Featured Family
The Parent Engagement Family of the Week
Committee, Kiran Mehta,
Malia Herndon, and Mimi Nartey,
is very excited to
present our first family of the week!
The Rosenblums
Osprey Family of the Week: The Rosenblum Family
Date: September 24, 2016 The song that best describes The Rosenblums is “Intergalactic” by The Beastie Boys! The Rosenblum Family is comprised of Gregg (general manager at Regenix Inc.), Carrie (marketing consultant and part owner of Children’s Orchard Manhattan Beach), Aiden (3rd grade Pokemon expert), Ella (2nd grade sketch and comic book artist), Grover (rough collie), Chase (goldendoodle),
Zorro (cat), and Salmon and Pradeep (the 2 beta fish). All together, they are the Osprey Family of the Week! The Rosenblum Family loves to read Harry Potter books together, to go camping at El Capitan, and to see shows at the Hollywood Bowl together every year! What are some ways your family has gotten involved with the PVES community? For the past 3 years the entire family has gotten involved in the Haunted House for Boo-fest. The creation of something so fun and scary is right up our alley! The kids like to be in the Haunted House, dress like zombies, and jump out to scare the other kids. Last year we created a scary “Mad Scientist” lab with all sorts of creatures and “things” floating in jars. We did many experiments of how to get these things to float in a scary way. We started with colored water but all of the eyeballs floated to the top and the severed fingers sank to the bottom. Then we tried glue, strings, and straws to make it look like the items were “floating”. We finally tried hair gel and the results were super creepy scary! Playa Vista Parent Engagement Group is proud to acknowledge The Rosenblum Family! Thanks for all you do to make our school a little more “Intergalactic!” Would you like to nominate a family for Osprey Family of the Week? If so, please send an email to [email protected] with the name and email address of the family you would like to nominate.

Playa Vista Elementary is bringing back the pumpkin decorating contest to Boofest! Put your creative hats on and start planning your decorated pumpkin now. Tidbits of info about the contest: * Pumpkins are decorated, not carved. No carved entries will be accepted. * Pumpkins that are submitted by children will be voted on by their peers during Boofest. First, second and third place prizes will be awarded at the end of Boofest. All pumpkins will be returned to the children at the end of the event. * Pumpkins submitted by adults will be auctioned off during Boofest in a silent auction. Adults will not get their pumpkins back if a bid is received. This is a fundraiser, so all proceeds go to our school. The more creative, the more money people will bid! * The pumpkins should have a name, e.g., Cool Cat, Superman. The name needs to be submitted prior to Boofest so we can include it on the bid sheets and the pumpkin name tags for the table. If you or your child (or both) want to enter the contest, please email Wendy Donell at [email protected]. Once you enter, further details will be provided regarding drop-off times for pumpkins, etc.
