Dear Parents,
As many of you know I was out for about a week to take
care of one of my daughters. I appreciate all the well wishes for her health
and I am very happy to report that she is doing much better. I am also happy to
report that the students did a great job for the visiting teachers and received
lots of compliments from specialists and Mrs. R. as well. I’m very proud of
them and appreciate their excellent behavior.
1) Book Fair
Survey: The PTSA would like your feedback on the book fair. A survey is
available athttps://www.surveymonkey.com/r/P2SPWBY. Thank you for everybody who supported the
book fair. Several hundred dollars of books were purchased for the classrooms,
and we earned $750, which will be used to purchase Montessori classroom
supplies.
2) PTSA needs help in developing a Fundraising Strategy. Currently just a few people have taken on lead roles in our fundraisers (which are often community events like the Fall Carnival). We need help. We need your ideas and we need volunteers to help make these events happen. Can you do either? Please sign-up at http://signup.com/go/kWxDQE
3) PTSA is also seeking some Volunteer Coordinators and also classroom representatives. If you are interested, you can sign up for that too at http://signup.com/go/kWxDQE. These roles require mostly emails and maybe some phone calls -- help us improve our communications.

4) Remember the Denali Holiday Bazaar and Chalk the Walks to Celebrate Peace and Diversity for Cultural Heritage Month this Saturday. (Bazaar 11-4; Chalk the Walks 12-2). The bazaar will help support the school's field trip scholarship fund.
I am sending home permission slips in today’s folder for
our next field trip. We will be walking to the Performing Arts Center on
Thursday, December 1 for Alaska Junior Theater’s, “360 All Stars” We will leave
the school at 9:30 and return at about 11:45. It should be a fun event.
I have sent homework in today’s folder that will be due
on Friday, December 2. We will not have homework during Thanksgiving week, but
I will not be sending a folder home next week so you have lots of extra time to
practice those words and read some good books.
Thanksgiving
is one of my favorite holidays. It is a time for us to gather with friends and
family and reflect on the many things we are thankful for. I am thankful for my
wonderful family, colleagues that I work with, and Mrs. R. I am very thankful
for your support at home with your children, all the volunteers that help
listen to students read, make copies, are able to join us on field trips, and
everything else that makes my job so enjoyable. I am thankful for such a great
group of students who care about each other, work well together, and are not
afraid to make mistakes and learn from them. I hope you all have a very happy
and healthy Thanksgiving holiday.
If
you have any questions or concerns, please e-mail me at moyer_craig@asdk12.org or call or
write me a note. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Craig Moyer
