Remember no school Wednesday for Veterans Day!

The week of November 16th is Spirit Week.  We will have a penny drop to help 
fund Student Council projects for East.  Containers will be placed inside by 
the gym labeled Alabama and Auburn the children may drop pennies when they 
come in to school each morning.  This is always a lot of fun and gets very 
competitive!  Also, it is dress up week.  I wanted to remind you early in 
case you needed to look for clothes to wear that week. 
Monday – Color Day. (second grade wears white)
Tuesday – Boy/Girl Day
Wednesday – Fashion Disaster Day.
Thursday – Pajama Day.
Friday – Blast from the Past.

I will let you know of any changes in this schedule in next week’s parent
