Reminder for Teacher Conference Snack Sign-Up


There are still plenty of slots available, please consider signing up and being part of this great tradition!

For many years, families have provided snacks for the teachers on conference days as a way to let them know how much we appreciate the long days and extra effort they put in for our children, especially during conference weeks.  If you would like to sign up to contribute, please go to the following link and select a slot: 

 https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080A4BA5AE2AA5FB6-snacks3

There are plenty of choices available, including sweet and savory snacks, beverages or fruit and vegetable options.  Complete instructions are included in the Sign Up Genius link.  Thank you so much for any contribution you can make--the teachers and staff are grateful!

If you have any questions, please contact Marisa Dad: marisadad@gmail.com.

We still have a few spaces for 1st-3rd graders to participate in BOKS on Wednesday mornings 7:40-8:15am.

Not sure if your child would enjoy running around and playing games so early in the morning?
Contact the BOKS coordinator (contact info on form) to arrange a trial visit.


 

Trick or Treat for UNICEF


The PTO and Estabrook staff are once again providing an opportunity for children to help other children by collecting donations for UNICEF around the Halloween and Thanksgiving holidays. Look out for our flyer explaining the details and the Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF box in your child's take home folder at the end of the week.
