Week of September 18, 2017

Thursday Folders
Students can practice reading anywhere! This is James M. reading to his steer. 
 Trunk or Treat:
We invite you to our fall Iron Horse Community Event! Iron Horse families are invited to join us on October 20th from 5-6:00pm to "trick or treat" safely from decorated vehicles. We will be selling hot dogs and chips for families that are interested in dinner. We hope you can join us! 

The Junction:
Students are having a fantastic time in our Junction! Students are able to check out books as needed throughout the week, but also have a scheduled time for class visits. Ask your child about the awesome things they are doing with Ms. Cunningham! 

Want to Earn Some Extra Money Supporting Iron Horse?
We are looking for classified substitutes to support our students during the lunch hours of 10:45am-1:35pm in the event that our regular employees need to be out. If you are interested in applying, please follow this link.  

Book Fair Volunteers:
Our Fall Book Fair is coming! We are in need of volunteers to help make this a successful event. All proceeds from our book fair will go back into our Junction. If you are available to help, please sign up here: Sign Up for Volunteering. Parents who donate their time will receive 10% off of their purchases. All funds from the book fair will be used to purchase sets of book series for the Junction. 

Allies in Promoting Prevention:
Douglas County's Prevention and School Culture department have partnered with schools to provide resources and information for parents and students to prevent bullying, school violence, substance abuse and suicide. The purpose of the department is to ensure that all students know where to get help and from whom. Here is a link to the department's page for parents: Prevention and School Culture. Here is this month's letter that explains what we are working on in September.
