Dunk Your Kicks!
Do you have any old sneakers at your house that nobody wears any more? How would you like to put those sneakers back to good use? It's simple... Just tie the pair of shoe strings together, send that pair of sneakers to school, and have your child "Dunk Your Kicks" into our collection bin! Dunk Your Kicks is a donation program, and all sneaker donation proceeds go to the Max Cure Foundation which helps advance cures for pediatric cancers. Used sneaker donations will be accepted at school from October 1st through the 12th. Your donations will be much appreciated!

Fall means Halloween is in the air…
We encourage
all interested families to attend the district sponsored Halloween Carnival
being held on Monday, October 29, 2018, at 4:00-7:30 p.m. at West Genesee High
School. All are welcome! You will receive additional information about
the carnival soon.
Keeping
school safety at the forefront of our decision-making, thank you for
understanding that West Genesee elementary schools will no longer hold outdoor Halloween
costume parades. We will, however, continue
to have classroom parties where student Halloween costumes are encouraged but optional. Halloween parties will be on Halloween Day,
October 31 at 2:15. ONLY parent volunteers
who are working at the parties will be permitted into the building. We will Blog and Tweet photos for you to see
at home, too!

This week we have learned about the character strength of “open mindedness.” Being open minded means you like to consider new ideas and try new things. You examine things from all sides and don’t jump to conclusions. Next week we will continue to discuss how other people matter, and how to identify the good in others.
