HW - Thursday, 10/29

Parents:

• This week is Red Ribbon ("Say NO to drugs") Week. Please see a previous post regarding the events. Tomorrow theme is: "Drugs are a trick NOT a treat" (wear your Halloween costume - this is optional)
• Tomorrow is the Halloween Parade. It will be done differently this year:
• 8:35 a.m. classes: Barrie, Calara, Dhillon, Foster, Jie-Ye, Kawasaki, Lee, Manan, Munoz, Murray, Perez, Rice (announcer), Wong
• 9:45 a.m. classes: Amutan (announcer), Beltran, Bisbee, Burns, Coan, Choi/Ouyang, Evans-Wilson, Kocher, Le, Owens, Pham, Twu, Wang
• We will have a class party after lunch recess. I will provide the pizzas (cheese and pepperoni). If you would like to donate something to the class, please be sure it is purchased from the store and not homemade; if it is homemade, it will not be served. Please email me if you are donating something tomorrow:
• Drinks:
• Snacks: BBQ chips, crackers/pretzels, 
• ALSO, regarding allergies and food preferences: please talk to your children about what foods they should not be eating. Thank you!
• Due to the parade tomorrow, NO science lab.
• Please collect all Walk-A-Thon donations! This week is the last week for collections! Help the PTA reach their goal!
• The November parent conference schedule is posted on the blog and will be updated daily. Please email me your THREE choices of dates and times. First come, first serve!
• November 4 (Wed.) is 49ers Gatorade Junior Training Camp at Ruskin. We will need parent volunteers to assist with the activities. If you are interested, please contact me ASAP. I will then forward your name to the office. Also, range permission slips will be in their Wednesday Folders tomorrow. Please sign and return them.
• Our class t-shirt has been chosen! We will be the LUCKY SNOW LEOPARDS and Joanie's picture was selected as the cover art for the light blue shirt with gold lettering (barring production issues). The company we will be using is Insane Ink, a longstanding class business at Piedmont Hills High School, which is staffed by former Ruskin students. Hallie, the account manager for our school, will be mocking up the t-shirt sample next week. Order forms will be in the Wednesday Folder tomorrow. ALL FORMS ARE IN! The order has been submitted. We must now wait a few weeks for processing and hopefully we will get them before Thanksgiving Break. UPDATE: Insane Ink has informed me that the target delivery period is mid- to late- November.
• Thank you to the parents who have submitted classroom donations!
