Important!

A few Turkey Trot reminders: 

Children should wear clothing that will allow them to participate safely in the Turkey Trot.  Sneakers and appropriate outdoor clothing are necessary.  Parents, please park in lined parking spaces only.  If you can’t find a space at Fawn Hollow, then please park in the lot at Chalk Hill.  All volunteers should meet Mr. Troesser in the APR at 9:15.  He will distribute maps and assignments at that time.  All Turkey Trot spectators and “trotters” should assemble on the front lawn at 9:30.  Non-perishable items for the Holiday Food Drive may be placed in the collection boxes near the front entrance.

Premier Portraits will be at Fawn Hollow on Friday, November 30, for picture re-takes.   If your child has already had their picture taken and you would like them taken again, please send the entire portrait package back to school on November 30.

Report cards will be sent home with students on Wednesday, November 21st.  Wednesday is also an early dismissal day for all Monroe Public Schools.  Fawn Hollow students will be dismissed at 1:35.

Just One Thing!

Every year Fawn Hollow School sponsors a Food Drive for the Monroe Food Pantry.  A few years ago, one of my students said that if each student at FH brought in "just one thing" we would have over 500 items for the food pantry!  Amazing, right?  Out of the mouths of babes!!

At this time, the Monroe Food Pantry is in need of:

Cake mix, mayonnaise, solid white tuna, dry soup, canned soup, pickles, olives, pancake mix, peas, corn, sauerkraut, salad dressing, cookies, crackers, snacks, Pasta Roni/Rice a Roni, pasta, laundry detergent, toiletry items, juice, mashed potatoes, stuffing and canned fruit.

Please help those in need by trying to find Just One Thing from home to donate to the food pantry.  Every little bit will help!

Mark Your Calendars!

Changes to the school calendar can be found on the MPS website. November 21st is now a ½ day for students and staff; February 19 and April 1 are full days for students and staff.

FYI - October Scholastic Book Orders have been processed and shipped according to the Scholastic website.  I know that there have been delays in shipping due to Storm Sandy.  As soon as I get the order, students will take their purchases home.  Thanks for understanding!!

Sandy!

East Haven, CT

Who knew that a storm with such a cute name as Sandy would cause this much trouble, headaches and devastation.  I hope you and your families all made it out safely and can begin getting back to a "normal" routine.  Students had a lot to talk about today and I had them journal their thoughts as well so that they could refer back to this blip along this journey in life.
