Short Week - Long Weekend!
Thank you to everyone who participated in the SEF pumpkin lighting and storytelling event last week. The creativity and imagination of the pumpkins has been enjoyed by everyone who has seen the display on Main Street. Special thanks to Mr. Dacales and Mrs. Bradford for entertaining us with the stories, Grenier's Farmstand for providing the pumpkins and Cold Hollow Cider Mill for donating the refreshments.

- *Please save Box Tops for SES!*Box Tops collecting is a fun and easy way to earn money for our school. Kids are great at identifying and cutting out Box Tops. Each Box Top is worth 10 cents and costs you nothing since they are on the packaging of everyday purchases. Just clip the Box Tops from the packaging and send it into school with your child. The class that collects the most Box Tops will get a pizza party this spring! There will be a collection envelope in each classroom. Annie’s, Cascadian Farm, Nature Valley, Cheerios, Pillsbury, Motts, El Paso, Bisquick, Kleenex, Ziplock and Scott are just some of the participating brands that have Box Tops. For questions contact Jossamber Shapiro Jossamber@mac.com.

- Nut-free Table: Our nut-free table is set aside for children who may have allergies to food products containing nuts; however, an unintended consequence of providing this space is that children may not get to enjoy eating and socializing with their friends. If you wish for your child to sit at the nut-free table with a friend, please complete this FORM for our office. Any child who takes the school lunch may sit at the table.
- Birthday Book Club: Thank you to the families that have already started to send in forms for participation. Please click on the link and fill out the form with your child's information and send it back to school with a check or cash in your donation amount. In the entryway at SES below the PTO bulletin board, there is a folder with paper copies. If you have any questions about the program, please email me at flashflud1@aol.com. Thanks, Diane Lepikko
