The Seattle Public Schools will be closed on Tuesday, November
11th, in observance of Veteran's Day. Our school will hold a
Veteran's Day assembly on Friday, November 7th, at 11:10 a.m. The
band and choir from Chief Sealth High School will be here to share
some patriotic music with our students. Please join us if you can.
Space Odyssey Day
On Monday, November 10th, the Pacific Science Center will
bring their Space Odyssey Van to our school. All of our students
will attend an assembly at 9:15 a.m. and each class will visit an
exhibit area during the course of the day. Also, all classrooms
(Grades 1-5) will have a classroom lesson conducted by Pacific
Science Center staff. Your child should come home that day filled
with knowledge about outer space. Our PTA is making it possible
for the van to visit our school.
Bon Marche' T-shirts
Today your child will bring home a beautiful T-shirt which
depicts the relationship we have with the Bon Marche'. They have
been a wonderful PIPE partner for us over the last few years and
they support us in many ways. We are asking all of the kids to
wear their T-shirts to school tomorrow.

Lending Library
We have a Lending Library located in the foyer just inside the
main entrance of our school. There are plenty of educational
materials and games which you are welcome to check out. A few
items are missing so if you have one or more at home please return
them. We use the check out system to keep track of all the items.
Thank you.
Read For Books
One component of our reading incentive plan is our Read For
Books program. The students earn a free book when they fill a
calendar showing that they have read at home 20 times. During the
month of November and December we encourage you to read aloud to
your children. Watch for a reading calendar in our next PTSA
Newsletter.
Free Soccer Tickets
We have been given a number of free tickets to a University of
Washington men's soccer game this weekend. The Huskies will play
the University of San Francisco this Sunday, November 9th, at 2:00
p.m. If you would like some tickets, just send us a note
requesting the number you need.
Sincerely,
Carl Leatherman
