We Are Running and Walking - Help Needed

The Treasure Valley Mayor's have issued a challenge to see which school can run and walk the most in October (Link to Mayor's Challenge).  I'm pretty sure we are one of the most active schools almost every month.  With this challenge, which started yesterday, our Skyhawk Trail is full of runners and walkers.  Parents are walking too.  Come on out.  Our school did 110 miles just on October 1st.  Even the kindergartners were out there doing laps.  So much fun.  I'm proud of our kids (and our teachers and parents too).

The Problem:  We have soooo many kids running that we have long lines to get their card punched each lap.  If you'd love to just encourage kids to run or walk and punch a hole in their lap card, come sign up at the office.  Mr. Thomas can get a puncher for you and can point you in the right direction. Please help if you can from 8:20 to 8:53 or any time from 12:05 until 1:15. 

Kids waiting in line to get their card punched after each lap.

This morning Mr. Thomas set to tone with a great music mix as kids came around each lap. Several parents and teachers joined the fun.

If you want to come help or come walk or run with us please do.  Just sign in at the office and get a visitor badge first.

Dress Code Pictorial

With many new families joining us at Sacajawea this year, we thought it would be helpful to use pictures to show what is allowed in our Caldwell School District dress code.  Hopefully this helps.

The official policy #509 can be found at this document and is summarized in our handbook on page 13.

School Clothes Swap - Sale - Looking for Volunteer Organizers

Sacajawea Parents and Community -

The Sacajawea PTO and I have brainstormed a great idea but we are looking for some key volunteers to organize it.

We know that many of you have school uniform clothes that your kids have grown out of.  We'd like to get those into the hands of families who can use them this next year.  I know I have 3 kids of my own and love to pass on their lightly used clothes to kids who can wear them for school.

If we can get enough interested parents and a handful of volunteers to organize this, we'd like to have a school clothes swap/sale during the week of 8/11 to 15.

This could make affordable dress code compliant clothes available and would also serve as a little fund raiser for our school's PTO which creates all kinds of extra opportunities for our kids.

Please email me back if you are interested in helping get this organized or if you would just like to participate in the sale/swap. The school staff will be working hard that week to get ready for school, so we won't be able to help much with organization.

Thanks
Paul Webster

Los padres y la comunidad de Sacajawea -

El Sacajawea PTO y yo hemos lluvia de ideas una gran idea, pero estamos buscando algunos voluntarios clave para organizarlo.

Sabemos que muchos de ustedes tienen ropa escolar que sus hijos han crecido fuera de. Nos gustaría conseguir esos en manos de las familias que pueden usarlos el año que viene. Sé que tengo 3 hijos propios y el amor para transmitir sus ropas usadas suavemente a los niños que pueden usar para la escuela.

Si somos capaces de conseguir suficientes padres interesados ​​y un equipo de voluntarios para organizar esto, nos gustaría tener un intercambio o venta de ropa de la escuela durante la semana del 8/11 al 15.

Esto podría hacer que ropa que cumplen con el código de vestimenta a precios asequibles y que también sirven como un pequeño evento para recaudar fondos para el PTO de Sacajawea. El PTO crea todo tipo de oportunidades adicionales para nuestros hijos.

Por favor envíeme un correo electrónico de vuelta si usted está interesado en ayudar a conseguir este organizado o si simplemente desea participar en la venta / intercambio. Los maestros de la escuela va a trabajar _ esta semana para prepararse para la escuela, así que no va a ser capaz de ayudar tanto con la organización de este evento.

gracias
