Hello Families!
As a parent observed on Friday afternoon, "Bobcat pride and crazy hair on the same day! Spirit week the same week as Halloween! And Candy bar Bingo tonight! That's a lot!" We agree! But it has been a fun ending to the month at Marcia Buker!
Our parent didn't mention the return to Standard Time this weekend, one more thing added to the mix. Personally, I love the light in the morning after turning our clocks back an hour, but I know we will all feel the change for a few days. Perhaps the day off on Tuesday for students will help them adjust.
Another thing that's changing is the daily temperature, by the hour it seems! We start this week in the 40s, hit the 70s mid-week, then drop back to the 50s by Friday. Some mornings are forecast to be chilly while others quite balmy. What those shifting temps mean at school is a lot of jackets and hats get shrugged off during play and then left behind. Teachers try to remind students to grab their items before heading inside, but we don't catch them all! Our lost and found is pretty full these days. If your child is missing something, have them look in the lost and found! You can also take a peak on parent-teacher conference night, November 21st.
Happy election week to all!
