SPIRITWEAR PICKUP - DID YOU WANT THIS AS A SECRET? Many parents have reached out to me to get their apparel separately for a gift. Our only solution is for you to pick up the shirt/hoodie before we distribute to the kids on THURS 12/18. If you get to CIS around 11, before lunches begin, you will be able to grab your childs apparel. Otherwise, spiritwear is being distributed at lunch on that day. PLEASE notify your child if you ordered something that they need to pick it up. Many kids last year had no idea they had a hoodie coming, so please advise your child.

WINTER GOODIE BAGS for Teachers -  
December/January Staff Appreciation:  Ok, this month is easy… No baking or cooking. Just sending in some items that you probably have at home already, or are easy to purchase…
We are going to give the teachers a "Back to School Goody Bag," that will be waiting for them after winter break. These will include all the things that they use in their classrooms, and may be running out of by now… Kleenex, paper towels, hand sanitizer, wipes, etc. We will also need some nice, solid co...lored paper shopping bags to put everything in.
All donations are due by Friday, December 19,2014. If you are able to help assemble the bags, we will be meeting that morning, around 9am.

SPIRIT! LET'S HEAR IT! Just in time for the holidays. We are in process of launching our sale. Attached is the design! We will be having the sale from 12/1 to 12/8 and apparel will be delivered to school on 12/17.

Thanksgiving Bread!
The time is getting near to provide baked breads for our teachers, staff, and bus drivers of CIS! Our goal is to have 80 loaves to distribute! We would like to have the bread dropped off to CIS on Monday, November 24th by 9am.
Please wrap the bread in foil with a label stating the kind of bread it is (i.e. pumpkin, cranberry, spice, etc.). You can also include a "baked by" note  if you choose! We plan to wrap a ribbon around each loaf with a little note attached. 
If you have some time to spare on Monday morning the 24th, we could certainly use the help with ribbon tying and bread distribution. We'll plan to get started at 9am!

SPOOKTACULAR 2014
KRISTEN MONROE, Chair    
 
A HUGE Kings Knights shoutout to KRISTEN MONROE for your amazing dedication to not one, but TWO major fundraisers in the course of 30 days. This has been very stressful with all the logistical planning, in a very short period of time and given the parameters, I think she should be commended! Seriously, if you see Kristen around, please tell her THANK YOU! Or better yet, shoot her a quick note: kamonroe3@gmail.com.  
A few notes of interest:
SAVE THE DATE - Thurs 11/6 at 6:30. COMMON CORE presentation at KJH Multi-Purpose Room. In lieu of our monthly PTO meeting, please plan on attending this very informative presentation about the new standards in education. It's a hot topic for many parents. I am encouraging you to clear your calendars so you can attend. I hope to see Columbia parents JAM THE STANDS, or in this case, chairs of the MPR.
STAFF APPRECIATION: We are still in need of donations to refuel our tireless teachers on these very long conference days. If you have any questions or want to assist Erin Deutsch, erin@springdot.com 
Please link to either date to see what is still needed:
October 30 Dinner
 
November 13 Dinner
 
Mr. Thomas's ART PROJECT3V3 Tourny Fundraiser is this Saturday 11/1. Good luck to all the teams!
 
NO SCHOOL ON TUES NOV 4th!! Who forgot about that???
