Round up your Box Tops - Fall deadline is Friday 10/21
Thanks to all of the families who've dropped off Box Tops already! We have a few more days before our Fall drive deadline, this Friday, 10/21. Remember every 10 box tops earns $1 in FREE money to our school for field trips and enrichment. So please gather them today and either tape them to plain sheets of paper (or tape them onto these fun theme sheets set of 10) and place them in the bin in the school lobby.
Thank you for participating in this fun and easy fundraiser for Brackett!! -Kate Riley

Get in the Halloween Spirit: Join us at Spooky Walk 10/29!
Please join us for Spooky Walk at Menotomy Rocks Park Saturday, 10/29 from 6:00-7:30pm. (moved from 6:30 to 6pm start due to earlier sunset these days!) Spooky Walk is a fun Arlington event and great way to get into the Halloween spirit and test drive those costumes! Hundreds of children, mummies and deadies attend and are delighted by Spooky Walk's creative and creepy displays, costumes and decorations each year. Flashlights/glow sticks recommended and the walk is usually okay for the less fearsome young students, too!
For those who have enjoyed it for years, please pay it forward. We’re looking for 4th-8th grade and adult volunteers to dress up or create a “spooky station” for the little ones to enjoy. For more information, email kelleydamoreferguson@gmail.com
