Important Notes:
**Thank you to all that were able to attend
Parent-Teacher Conferences. It is through your
support that your child can really make great
progress!
**Also, thank you to all that attended the
Halloween party. I believe the students really
enjoyed themselves.
**Friday, November 7th Avoca Elementary is
celebrating Veterans Day. If you know of a
veteran that you would like to have recognized
please fill out the Veterans Day form and
return it ASAP. If you do not have a form
please contact me so I can get one to you!
**Our class is teaming up with Mrs. Rees class
again this year for our basket raffle. Our
theme is Arts and Crafts. If you could please
donate an item or any monetary amount to be
included with the raffle please do so by
November 10th. This is when the raffle begins

**I plan to have a Thanksgiving feast on

Tuesday, November 25th at 11:00am. This feast
would take place our school lunch (you child may
still receive the school lunch if they wish).
More details to follow (regarding who will bring
what for the feast). Also, each student will be
able to choose if they would like to be a Pilgrim
or a Native American while they eat at the
feast.
