Good Morning,

Today is going to be rather eventful.  We have the communities in schools CD recording today in the art room.  The kids have been working extremely hard at memorizing the selected song.  We also have counselor today.

I am sending home the Book-It reading log for November.  In order to earn their book-it certificate your child must read 400 minutes a month. 

There have been some slight changes to our check in procedure for coming into Garfield.  All visitors coming in to Garfield through the main doors will need to sign in and get a visitors badge between the hours of 7:30 and 3:35.  If you are dropping your child off for school in the morning, please send them into the gym from the South East gym doors.  We want to ensure that Garfield continues to be a safe place for all of our students!

Tonight there is a Title 1 Parent meeting at 6:30 in the Library.  Pat Skiles and Kim North will be sharing what it means to be a Title 1 building and will answer any questions.

Tonight is also the PTA meeting. 

Tumblebooks are available to parents and students online!  Tumblebooks provide a variety of books read to children as well as quizzes and games. Please utilize this great resource for your kids! 

Tumblereadables have books for read alouds: www.tumblebooks.com/tumblereadable/auto_login.asp?U=garfieldelem&P=login

Book orders are due on November 12^th.

November 18^th is the 4^th and 5^th grade music program.  We are asking parents to please come in at 5:30 to my room to learn about our Scentsy fundraiser opportunity for EarthWorks.  You can also stay after the program if this option works better for you.  We will be here for both.  J

Also Garfield PTA is now recycling CAPRI SUN drink pouches!
