Fundraiser on Tuesday 10/31/17 To Support Hurricane Victims:
We all know that the 2017 hurricane season has taken a devastating toll on over a dozen nations in the Caribbean, Central America and North America. Three of our middle school classes will be raising money and collecting donated items for people in need. Our Curley Cares goal is to collect essential items and raise $5,000 to send to several charities. We are hoping that every community member will consider contributing $5 and/or essential items. To celebrate our efforts, we are facilitating our Pajama Day on October 31st. We would love to see our entire Curley Community wearing pajamas and our specialized bracelets on this day. Our middle school students will enjoy a Movie Screening Celebration as well. All monetary donations are appreciated! Essential items we will collect include:
Halloween:
The Curley K-8 will not have a Halloween celebration during the school day. As a community we are focused on health and wellness and therefore we ask that all candy remain at home. We are also asking that students leave all costumes, masks, face painting and clown paraphernalia at home as well. Thank you in advance for your support around this matter. Attached is our Celebrations Policy Curley K-8 Celebration and Reward Policy_memo.
Thank you:
A big thank you to our Library Committee for their work in opening our library as well as securing a visit this week from 2017 Caldecott Award Winning author and illustrator, Javaka Steptoe. Thanks to these efforts 6 classrooms had the chance to learn from Javaka and he even gave signed copies of his book, Radiant Child, to students.
