Note from Mrs. Harrison

Dear Families, Congratulations go out to all the students who made their October BookIt! goal! I will be accepting Oct. Calendars through Thursday. A November Book It! Calendar was sent home last week. Please continue to encourage your child to read at home.

Conferences are next week. Your child should be bringing home a conference letter today or tomorrow. I will send them out just as soon as I get them. Please send back the bottom portion of the letter ASAP. Thank you.

A big thanks to all the parents who helped make our Halloween Party such a success. All the children had fun eating donuts from a string, playing the guessing game, mummifying their classmates with toilet paper and sampling the tasty treats! The students also had fun on Thursday creating monsters and writing about them. Checkout our webpage to see some pictures of these fun events: http://harrisonsheroes.weebly.com
