Spirit Night Tonight; RSVP for Pizza BINGO and Grandparents' Luncheon; Book Fair Next Week

Chick-fil-a Spirit Night is tonight!  More info

McDonald's Spirit Night (Jett Ferry and Mt. Vernon Rds.) is Monday, November 12 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m.

Pizza BINGO is Tuesday, November 13.  Reserve your pizza here.

The Grandparents' Luncheon is Thursday, November 15.  Sign up and more info here.

The Curriculum Action Team meets on Thursday, November 15 at 5:00 pm in the Media Center.

Dress Down Day is Friday, November 16.

Scholastic Book Fair Starts November 12

Book Fair hours are 7:20 am - 3:00 pm except Wednesday when the hours are only before and after school. Students are allowed to shop before school if accompanied by a parent as the fair is open all day for them to shop.

If you do not plan on coming to the Book Fair with your child but you would like them to be able to buy books, please send your child to school with money in a secure envelope. Do not send in more than you intend for the child to spend. There is no way for the Book Fair volunteers to know what the spending limit is per child. If the child comes in with a certain amount of money, we have to assume it is OK for them to spend it all.

There will be a grade level contest. The grade that purchases the most books wins a Dress Down Day. There will also be a costume contest. With each purchase,  a shopper  receives one ballot to vote for Dr. Smith or Mrs. Seabrook to wear a sports costume for one day.

Parents are welcome to stop by the fair and buy a  gift certificates for specific teachers. Just remember the last shopping day is Thursday, November 15 so you want to buy gift certificates early to give the teachers time to shop before we pack up the fair.


Box Tops Collection Update
Every last Box Top and Campbell Soup label has been sorted and counted for Kingsley! And the winning class who collected the most items this month is ... Mrs. K's Kindergarten class!! This group of families did an AWESOME job sending in thousands of clippings; beating the closest class by 550 items! The big treasure box of goodies for the whole class to share will be delivered next week.

Some families went above and beyond collecting items for our school so far this school year - here are our MVP's for this months collection campaign: The Sims family (Markey & Dougherty); The Nelson family (Henard); The Marks family (Lips); The Johnson family (Kundmueller) and The Crowder family. These families made a serious effort to trim, keep and send in thousands of Box Tops and Campbell Soup labels and we appreciate you SO MUCH

Kingsley Charter School will be receiving a check from Box Tops for over $850 this December! That's equivalent to 4 successful Spirit Nights! Great Job Kingsley!

The Clorox Power a Bright Future grant voting has been delayed and now begins Monday, November 12 and goes through December 19. Be sure to register on the web site and vote daily once via the web and once via text.  That's two votes per day per person!  

There is No School the week of November 19-23.
