Good afternoon Cub Families this is Mr. Vernon. I hope you all are having a good weekend. I have a few announcements for this coming week.
We are excited that Mrs. Riddell, DCE Media Specialist, is going to be hosting the fall book fair. It will look a little different, but the goal of getting books into students' hands to encourage a love of reading is the same! Mrs. Riddell sent home flyers this past week with information on shopping dates and times, and it also provides information on an optional eWallet so no money has to be exchanged. Students will be shopping during school hours on their assigned media special day or another scheduled time between Friday, October 23rd- Friday, October 30th. I can't wait to see our cubs' excitement over the book fair.
Also this week we will be conducting both of our safety drills. Each month there is a practice of our fire drill procedures, where we will practice evacuating the building. The second drill is the active assailant drill, where we will practice placing the school in a lockdown. Practice is important so we are always prepared. If your child has any questions, please make sure they know these drills this week are only practice.
The last announcement is just making sure all parents know that the Deep Creek Character Parade will be held during Celebrate Literacy Week. Celebrate Literacy Week will be during the second semester of the school year. So, make sure as your children are reading over the next few months that you are thinking of great costumes that they can wear to represent their favorite characters. More information will come out about the parade as we get closer to the event.
Thank you all for listening and enjoy the rest of your day. I am excited to see our Ready, Responsible and Respectful Cubs tomorrow morning.
