Hello, Wolves,

FUN RUN IS THIS FRIDAY!!

Thank you so much to everyone that has signed up to help this year so far. We’re so grateful for your support.  There are still a few spots we need to fill so please consider coming out for an hour while your child is running and man a station

Fun Run is by far the biggest (and almost the only) fundraiser we do each year.  A huge thanks to Ali Knox, Amy Chester and all the other people behind the scenes that have been working so hard to make this event a success. Our school is so lucky to have you!

PAC Meeting this Tuesday at 7pm in the library.  We encourage you to come however you can, arrive late, leave early, bring your kids… Unfortunately it looks like at this meeting well be discussing cutting chess club, but we'll also be forming committees for other events/programs and discussing our budget and hopes for the coming school year.  

Box Top information was sent home in Friday Folders this week.  The program has gone digital this year and we encourage you to take a second to look over the paperwork so you can make a note of the changes.

                   This is a full week everyone, looking forward to seeing all your faces.

Tuesday: PAC meeting 7pm

Wednesday: Early Release/Spirit Day Have your child wear their Edy gear, school colors, or I’ll be your friend tee

Good Morning Wolves,

You should have seen your child's fun run envelope come home with their Friday Folder yesterday.  These are due back no later than October 10th. We have a lot of fun and exciting incentives for the kids this year that I'm sure you heard all about last night. As per usual Fun Run is an awesome event that can't be done without some parent volunteers.  Please check out our sign up sheet below. I will say that for obvious reasons the hardest spot to fill is always Wolfie. If you're feeling the urge to really show up and help that would an impactful spot, as its the kids favorite thing to high five him as they run by,

At back to school night I mentioned a few programs that are going to get cut if we don’t have anyone to help and the first one is Chess Club.  The wonderful person who has run it for the past few years is moving soon but here right now to help the new person get it started. This is so much easier than walking in fresh and having no idea where to begin.  If your child has been on chess team in previous years or wants to get started this year can you help out? Or even get another parent to share the responsibility with you? Chess club generally starts the first week of October and if we dont get someone within the next week or so I'm sad to say that Edy will lose one of our school clubs. Email me with any questions and I can connect you with the woman who has run the program in previous years. She really doesn’t want to see it go and is more than happy to help out for the first little while.

Background checks, have you done yours? Field trips are coming up fast and you don’t want to miss out because you haven't filled out something that seriously only takes 3 minutes.  Please remember that you have to do a new one EVERY year. It does not carry over.

Have a fantastic weekend everyone!

We hope everyone had a great first week back and were able to fall back into that morning routine easily. Just wanted to quickly update you on a few things.

If you’re child is interested in Passpport Club please look through your friday folder, the flier went home this week for sign ups and information, there is also a link to the sign up under Edy Clubs on our new website,

https://www.edyridgepac.org

Speaking of the website you can also find a link to do your background check and create a user profile there. Please remember that you can not volunteer in the classroom, field trips, or anything else until that is complete. You need to do a new one each year, it takes 3 minutes and is free.

Fun Run is coming up fast! If you’re at all interested in helping please join us at the Fun Run meeting this Tuesday, September 10th at 6:30 in the community room. Fun Run is THE FUNDRAISER that gives back to the classrooms, students, teachers, and school. The more hands on deck, the easier and smoother it goes.

Lastly we have positions open with the PAC this year. You can always co-chair, its easy to walk into something new if you drag a semi willing friend along.

We need a co chair for Hospitality. This is such a fun role! Really lets you get creative and spoil the teachers

We need shadows for FUN RUN, in a perfect world you would shadow the ladies that do it this year then next year technically be in charge but theyll be in the background helping you along the way. Way better alternative than jumping in when they have left the school and arent available to help at all.

Sherwood For Kids Sake chair. This is a feel good deal. You make a sign up sheet for all the items kids in Sherwood are asking for and need and wait for our awesome Edy families to fulfill those needs.

In the Spring well need help with Wolf Club Track Pack and building some new games for Carnival, but we’ll cross that bridge as it comes. Please email me with any question you may have at Edyridgewolfpac@gmail.com

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND WOLVES
