Happenings

=__September__= Children will be introduced to a new type of chair, **A Stability Ball.** Ms. Koffel will be working closely with our class in order to train the students how to effectively and safely use this equiment. The balls will be slowly worked into the classroom. ALL PARENTS MUST SIGN AND RETURN THE PERMISSION SLIP.

=__October__= We regret that in the interest of space, we cannot accommodate all those wishing to be part of the classroom festivities. Please contact your child’s classroom teacher before October 29th. They will be able to let you know if you can join the classroom celebration after the parade. If you have children that do not attend TFES, they are welcome to view the parade with you. **We look forward to a successful Halloween Parade and wish you and your family a SAFE AND HAPPY HALLOWEEN. ** Sincerely, Peter Alston Oct. 29, 2010 Halloween Party Breakfast Party 9:00-10:15
 * Halloween Parade ** **Dear TFES Community, ** **Our Halloween Celebration and Parade at Thomas Fitzwater Elementary School is scheduled for Friday, October 29, at 2:00pm. ** Weather permitting; the Halloween Parade will be outdoors in the playground area. Parents are welcome to come to view the parade. For the safety of the children, we ask that you please remain in the designated area for parents. In the event of inclement weather, the parade will be held indoors for students. We ask that if we do have to be indoors, adult visitors stay in the gym and cafeteria, rather than in the halls, so that we can move our children safely through the building. We all hope for a beautiful, bright, sunny day! For safety reasons please do not send your children to school in costume. There will be plenty of time for children to change before the parade. Also, if your child will be wearing a mask, please check carefully to make certain the mask doesn’t block or limit vision.
 * //Please be aware when choosing your child’s costume that weapons and violence are to be discouraged. Please do not include toy or pretend weapons of any kind with the costume, and do not allow your child to wear the kind of costumes that are violent, gory, or frightening. //**

Hello Parents,

We are planning a Halloween breakfast party for the kids at 9:00 am on October 29th. If you can donate a party item from the list below, it is greatly appreciated. Please reply to all, so we don't get duplicate items. We are looking forward to a fun morning. If you have any questions, feel free to email or call us. If there are any allergies, please let us know. Please send your child to school that morning hungry! The parade starts at 2pm.

Fondly your room parents,
