November is upon us!

Dear Families,
Social Studies
We are very excited to continue studying our democratic process.  Next week we will be sending home 'take home' ballots, for you to vote in our mayoral campaign on Monday.  Please take some time to ask your child about what we have been doing to make our campaigns happen.  Please see the links for each precinct (classroom), to see the positive campaign videos the students made.

Parent Teacher Conferences
Please connect with your classroom teacher to sign up for a conference time if you have not already done so.  Conferences are Nov 9 and 10.  I will try to get our conference sign ups posted soon as well.

Recent Assemblies
Last week we had a 'Tarter Patrol' assembly preformed by Oregon Children's Theater
Today we had Ed Edmo, a Native American storyteller, come share some legends that he heard from his grandfather when he was growing up near Celilo Falls.

Other events
We had vision screening today with our school nurse.
Our Halloween Parade was a lot of fun.  To the parents who got pictures: can you send me copies so I can post them?

Upcoming field trip
We have a field trip to Reed College's Cooley Art Gallery.  Mrs. Neal on Dec 6 in the morning.  Mr. Guron on Dec 7 in the morning.  Ms. Van Clock on Dec 7 in the morning.
