Sidewalk Arts Festival

November 3rd

Sidewalk space and chalk will be provided for $10. All proceeds go to the Erdkinder Community at Ellis.

Field Trips

Please be on the lookout for field trip forms to go home at the beginning of this week. The new dates for our field trips are November 8th and 9th. We have already collected all field trip funds for the year, so no money is due at this time. Make sure that the form is filled out and returned immediately. Thank you.

Cooking in the Classroom

The fire inspector came to Ellis and we found out that having our new oven in the classroom is in violation of the fire code. We will need to use our oven in the cafeteria from now on. Parent volunteers will be necessary to make this happen. So, if you are interested in volunteering to help our students cook in the cafeteria, please send me an email. I will respond to the parent's who have volunteered when we have an activity planned.

Fall Festival

Thank you to all of the families that helped out with the Fall Festival. A great time was had by all!
