School Notes:

• Mrs. Perry is again requesting assorted “funky junk” and “good garbage” as the children have dwindled the supply creating amazing works of up-cycled art. The art bins are especially in need of unwrappped, clean tin cans. All food containers need to be dry and super clean. Use your imagination and consider each piece of trash or recycling before you send it away…it could instead become a creative piece of tomorrow’s SPMA artistic expression!

• Please consider bringing in food donations for Deep Well now until Christmas Vacation. Thank you!

• Student and staff lunch orders from Bess’ Deli (order form here) are due each Friday by 10 AM for the following week.

• SPMA Spirit Day is every Friday. Please wear your SPMA logo wear to school.

Booster Club:

• This year we are asking that each SPMA family please bring a pumpkin for the pumpkin painting craft table at the walkabout. Any size will do and bring as many as you would like. We will have a few extra to sell to our other friends and family.

• The SPMA Booster Club would like to thank all volunteers, staff and families who have pitched in with large and small contributions of time, treasure and talent to help make the Scarecrow Walkabout and Harvest Moon Celebration the best one yet!
