CAMANCHE ELEMENTARY: ENDGAME OF HUNGER

            Nick Fury once said: “There was an idea to bring together a group of remarkable people to see if we could become something more.” He was referring to the Avengers. I however, am referring to our Camanche Elementary students! We need our group of remarkable students to come together to help the Camanche Food Pantry! Our annual food drive will start on Monday, October 28th and it will end on Friday, November 15th. Each classroom will be an Avenger trying to get to the end of the bulletin board to take the Infinity Gauntlet with all of the infinity stones away from Thanos! The winning class at the end of each week will earn an extra recess and the winning class at the end of the food drive receives an extra recess, a special hero treat, and the Food Drive traveling trophy! The number of non-perishable items and/or amount of money donated ($.50 equals one non-perishable item) will be counted daily and each classroom’s Avenger will be on the bulletin board by the cafeteria. You can’t fight Thanos alone, that’s why the CES Avengers must come together to end hunger. Avengers assemble!

 

THANK YOU

            Nurse Kathy and Miss Kerry in the health office would like to give a big shout out to CES parents, staff, PTA, and community volunteers for making this year’s Genesis Flu Clinic a huge success! Without everyone pulling together as a team and pitching in the way they did, we could not have accomplished all that we were able to do. Thank you again for all of the hard work!

 

NO SCHOOL TOMORROW!

            Just a reminder that there is NO SCHOOL TOMORROW, Friday, October 11th.

 

SCHOOL PICTURE DAY

            Lifetouch will be here on Thursday, October 17th to take our fall pictures.  Picture order forms will be sent home on Monday, October 14th.   If you place your order online at mylifetouch.com, there is no need to return the order form to school.  To pay by cash or check, please complete the order form and return to school before or on picture day.  Late orders cannot be accepted.

 

DAY OF AWESOMENESS

            The NEW date for the PTA’s Day of Awesomeness here at CES is Monday, October 21st. There will be an epic Step It Up obstacle course, a DJ dance party, and other prizes! Please send your child with an extra pair of socks on this day!

 

CES READING GOAL

            As a school, we set a goal of reading 109,000 minutes in the month of October. So far, we have read 22,361 minutes. We will wear hats on November 11th if/when we reach our goal. If we do not reach our entire school goal the class that exceeds their goal the most will get to wear hats. Thank you for helping support this work!
