Stuff A Truck

Stuff A Truck is well on it’s way! Each classroom has a box to hold food items until November 18. Sometime in the morning a large truck will stop at our school to pick up all the boxes of food we have collected. All items are donated to the area food shelf. Our students enjoy collecting food and bringing it out to the truck! Please help with food donations if you are able to.

Conferences

Thank you for the tremendous turn out at conferences! I know how difficult it can be to make room for one more extra something in our lives. So, I appreciate your attention to meeting with your child’s teacher. Thank you!

Holiday Happenings/Book Fair

Each year at the beginning of December Paul Bunyan Elementary hosts a Book Fair in which you can purchase books for your children or your self! We have always had a wonderful assortment of books to choose from. We also have a Family Night called Holiday Happenings. This will be held on Thursday, December 3. There will be activities in all the classrooms and juice and cookies in the cafeteria (along with holiday music)! Watch for more information to come on these two big events!

Early Release Days

Our district has 4 Early Release Days during the school year. The first one is on Wednesday, November 18. Students will be released from school at 12:25; buses will leave our parking lot at 12:30. Early Release gives our staff additional time to go over student data to make decisions on the academic needs of our students. Future Early Release Days are: January 27, February 10, and March 9.
