Dear Parents,
I hope you will forgive the laundry list of reminders and
announcements this week, but life is full and busy in the Lower School and I
want to insure you have all the information you need:
Box Tops:
Our first Box Tops competition ended today. The girls should continue bringing
in box tops, as they will be counted toward the second competition beginning next
week. Please remember to cut out the
box tops on the dotted lines! A few minutes of extra cutting saves our volunteers
many hours.
Halloween
Parade: The Halloween Parade will be
held on October 31, on the Lower School Field, with PumpkinFest being held
immediately after. In the event of inclement weather, we will move into the
MS/US gym. The parade will begin immediately
following our trip through the MS/US building, so I would suggest if you
want to be present for the entire parade that you plan to be on campus by 1:30. Parking directions will be forthcoming.
Parent
Visiting Days: Opportunities for
parents or special guests to visit for a morning are already beginning with the
fourth grade visiting day on November 2, from 8:20-10:45. Visiting Days for
other grades will be scheduled after Winter Break.
Book Fair: The book fair kicks off on Sunday, November
6. Make sure to check the link in this newsletter for your daughter’s
scheduled class visit and Doughnuts with Dad days for each grade.
AIS/EA
Day: This annual competition will be
held on the afternoon of November 11. Parents will have the opportunity to pick
up their children early in order to see the competition at Episcopal Academy,
and a shuttle will be made available to those who would prefer not to drive. Please
make sure to click on the Athletics Newsletter link for more details.
Have a great weekend!
- Donna

The Admission Office needs your help! Parents,
please volunteer to help between 2 and 4 p.m. on Sun. 10/30 at the
All-School Admission Open House. Lower School parent helpers are needed
to greet and tour with visiting families that day. Training will be
provided from 8:30-9:30 a.m. on Wed. 10/19. Please
RSVP to Barbara Massaro or 610-523-7986.
Please
invite interested family and friends to attend the Open Houses. Provide

Thank you for all of your help! Last call for Used Halloween Costumes! Donate your outgrown Halloween costumes for a worthy cause! We will be bringing the collection to a shelter for women and children in Philadelphia on the afternoon of Monday, October 24. The collection box is located in the Owl Lobby. The costumes do not have to be complete – we will gladly take whatever you have. The Upper School Service Board thanks you! Please visit the AIS Parents page for current forms, news and notes. |
