The Challenge Series in PE:

    This past week your child earned a "Shoelace Plaque" by completing a fun run around the playground.  The Shoelace Plaques are labeled with student's name and are found hanging in the gym.  At the end of most months this school year, we wil be having an all school fun run.  The Pumpkin Run will be held the last week of October and families and community members are welcome to join their children in a run about 1/2-1 mile in length around the school grounds.

    Students who complete the runwill earn a token symbolizing that run.  The October run earns them a pumpkin token which will be tied to their shoelace plaque.  At the end of the year, students will bring home their token filed plaques to remind them of all their accomplishments.

Trick-or-Treat Carnival

    You and your family are invited to the first anual Trick-or-Treat Street Carnival on Saturday, Oct. 31, from 1:00pm-5:00pm at Poudre High School.  Come with an adult to enjoy a fun day of games, skits, face painting, pumpkin decorating, food and trick-or-treating.  The carnival is free but each family is encouraged to bring 5 canned food items for Poudre's "Feed our Families" food drive.
