Warm Autumn Greetings!

It was so wonderful seeing all the new and returning faces at school. We hope that everyone is adapting to the new schedule. The first two weeks of school were very busy for the PTA!! We have been thrilled with the number of people who have signed up to be members.
“What does having a PTA membership mean?” It allows you as a parent, teacher, or relative to help your child experience extra events at the school. When your child comes home excited about taking part in the walk-a- thon, an assembly, enjoying a special field trip, or inviting the whole family to a Family Fun night, Science Fair, or a variety show, you have made a difference in your child’s life through your support and membership to Kapowsin PTA. Thank you to those of you who signed up this past month as new PTA members. It is amazing to realize how much you have helped just by signing up. Each membership we receive helps a child with transportation for a field trip!!!
We would also like to thank the many businesses in our area that helped support our second annual walk-a-thon. Please view the back page of our newsletter and make an extra special effort to support those businesses that are supporting our children. They have already made a big difference for our kids!!!!
To recap some fun that is coming our way…The Walk-a-Thon already started off with a bang!!! We encourage you to come and watch the kids walk on October 2nd. It will be a lot of fun!! Remember, that October 19-23rd will be Student Conferences, and during that time, the Scholastic Book Fair will be hosted in our library October 19-22nd. And speaking of fun….Our first Family Fun Night of the year will be October 30. Come and “Walk the Plank”, play pirate games, and throw your favorite scallywag into Davey Jones’ locker!!! We will have a Trunk-Or-Treat in the school parking lot. All parents that would like to decorate their trunk and/or supply candy, please contact one of us. It is a very safe and exciting night, more information will arrive shortly.
We wish you a great October!!!

Sincerely,
Sue, Tricia, Bonnie, Angela, LouAnn and Christine
