There will be no school Oct. 9.

Northwestern Elementary

Many students are coming to school without jackets, and gym classes go outside in the cool mornings.

Be sure students are dressed warmly with sweaters or jackets.

Any student wearing flip-flops will not be allowed to use the playground equipment as they are not safe on outdoor equipment.

Safety Day will take place Oct. 6. Students will learn how to remain safe no matter their location.

The next Partners In Education meeting will be 4 p.m. Oct. 16 in the cafeteria.

Author Ralph Masiello will visit the school Oct. 30. Any student who wants to purchase an autographed copy of one of his books must turn in the form attached to the October newsletter no later than Oct. 6.

Weisenberg Elementary

The PTO’s Stuff the Bus Food Drive competition by grade level will continue until Oct. 13. Unexpired, nonperishable food and paper products are being collected.

The grade that stuffs their part of the bus with the most items wins a surprise from the PTO.

All collected items will be given to families in need.

For information, contact Nicki Reimert at nreimert@gmail.com

There will be a PTO meeting 6:30 p.m. Oct. 10 in room 145.

Kindergarten students will visit Grim’s Farm Oct. 13. All kindergarten students are to attend the morning session that day.

There is a penny war at Weisenberg! Students may bring in pennies to place in their grade appropriate jar with the winners earning extra time on Makerspace.

Winners will be chosen by the dollar amount of pennies in their jar.

However, if someone has placed other coins in the jar of any grade level, the monetary amount of those coins will be deducted from the penny count.

The war will continue during October with all money being donated to hurricane relief efforts.

Jars are in the front lobby.
