Directory Contest Correction 


Congratulations to Tvisha Parekh! She is the 1st grade winner of the PTO Directory Contest. 
 
After publication of the directory, it was brought to our attention that Tvisha’s winning drawing was accidentally attributed to another student. We apologize for the mix up and both students will receive a Book Fair certificate.
 
Here is Tvisha’s winning drawing:

 

 







 
 



 

Family Game Night--Friday, November 22nd, 6-8 pm


Want to try out new family games? Looking for holiday gift ideas? Don't miss Family Game Night which will take place this year in the Estabrook cafeteria. 

This fun event is always a popular one in the Estabrook community. In addition to learning and playing games, families will be able to purchase retail games and 50 percent of the proceeds go back to our school. 

If you would like to volunteer at this event, either as a "Game Guru" to learn games in advance and help others at the event, or a general volunteer to help with set-up, clean-up, or sales, please contact nataliefieldgate@hotmail.com.

No advance registration necessary. Questions? Please email Natalie Fieldgate at:

Pick up is available at 1 Wyman Road on SATURDAY, December 7, between 9:30-11:00am.
Local lexington deliveries will be made for orders over 10 boxes (someone must be home to accept delivery!), so sell, sell, sell!
All other pickups can be made during Estabrook's Marketplace Extravaganza on December 8, from 2-4.
