Dear Parents/Guardians,
As we are getting into our colder weather, please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather. The kids love to play in the snow and we really discourage them from doing so unless they have snow pants and snow boots as we don’t want them to be cold, uncomfortable or wet when they get back into class. Please let us know if you need help to get warm weather gear, we definitely have resources and can help!
Don’t forget about our annual food drive! Here is the information from Mrs. Apple:
The Erie Elementary Food Drive will start Monday November 11th-Friday November 15th. We love to support our Erie Food Bank.
There will be a class competition everyday to see which class brings in the most food items. The class with the highest number will vote on an extra 15 minutes of recess or extra PE.
Here are some much needed food items that they have requested.
jelly
smaller sizes of sugar, flour and cooking oil
canned fruit – applesauce, pineapple, mandarin oranges, peaches, pears
pancake mix
syrup
small containers of rolled oats or boxed instant oatmeal
pasta – any kind!
spaghetti sauce
canned meat – tuna, chicken, Spam
canned meals – beef stew, chef boyardee, manwich

Thank you for your support!
