IN THIS ISSUE: Principal’s Message, Photos from School Events, SCEF Read-a-thon, Food Drive, Calendar Reminders

Fall into reading at our Central & Arroyo Book Fair Oct. 31 - Nov. 4. Join us for Family Night on Thursday, Nov. 3, from 5-7 p.m. in the library. Buy dinner for the family after you shop at the two food trucks that will be on-site. The PTA will be handing out free Rita’s Ice dessert treats too!

Eagle Council has started our first community service drive of the year for Samaritan House. We’ll be collecting protein items including nut butters, canned tuna or meat, chili, pasta sauce, and other canned meals. Please consider donating to help those in need in our community. Food can be brought to the school office or classrooms between now and Nov. 14.

Woo-hoo, we have passed our first 100 members in the first full month of the school year! We’re off to a great start toward our 100% membership goal. Joining the PTA supports local, state, and national PTA advocacy efforts. An individual membership costs just $10, and we’re encouraging all parents to become members. Grandparents and students can easily be added as members too. Check out the Membership and Fundraising page to learn how to make a difference.

WHEN TO ORDER: Order meals on The LunchMaster website (click above) by 9 a.m. Tuesday the week BEFORE you need breakfast or lunch.

CANCEL ON MINIMUM DAYS: Cancel orders the week prior if your child is not going to eat a meal at school — especially on early release Wednesdays.

PICK UP MEALS: A number of students are not picking up meals (especially breakfast and Wednesday lunches). The district is only reimbursed for meals that are picked up.
