November is here! It was so great to see many of you last week at Parent/Teacher conferences. Thanks to everyone who came out to our Fall Book Fair! We raised over $3,000 for our school! Look for new books on our library shelves including the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid and more Dog Man titles. We are rocking and rolling along in our second quarter. It is going to be a great month with a lot of fun activities coming up!

Please remember to fall back next Sunday as our clocks will change with the end of Daylight Savings Time on November 7th.

Fall Festival is this Saturday, November 6th from 12 pm-4 pm. Come for games, prizes, and fun. It is the last chance to purchase spirit wear before the holidays. Bracelets are $20 per child. This includes games, prizes, entertainment, and attractions. Food and drink available for purchase the day of the event. Cash or checks only. Attached is the flyer below.

Veterans Day reminder: We'll be honoring our PCS family Veterans a little differently this year, we won't have a school-wide assembly. However, it's still important to us to pay tribute to our community of armed forces. If you have a family member or loved one who served, or still serves, in the US armed forces, and would like to see them honored, please email the following to Christy Wohlgemuth (cwohlgemuth@premiercharterschool.org) later than November 5th: Veterans' Name, Rank, Branch of Service and a photo!
