Updates from the PTA President

As we all prepare for the long winter months-making plans to travel for family gatherings and celebrate the fall and the slowdown of the winter months ahead, there is still a lot going on at Hanawalt.

The PTA speaker for the month of November is Dr. Barbara Adams, Math Curriculum Supervisor for K-5 for Des Moines Public Schools. Join us on November 12th at 6:30 pm, in Mrs. Carpenter's room, for information on the new math program that all our children are currently experiencing in the classroom. Do you have questions that have come up as you've helped your child with their homework? She will have handouts and lots of good information for all of us.

We have several programs that are getting off the ground and will run through the winter. Kidstriders, Jr. Great Books, Battle of the Books and Literacy Army just to name a few, will all be starting this first part of November. We've had some people ask about having a movie night again this year and we are planning that for the doldrums of winter-look for a movie night in January.

Don't forget the Winter Drop Off Rules go into effect Monday November 9th. See the article and flier published in October (down a little ways in the blog postings) for more information.

So as fall fully descends-I hope you enjoy family time, have safe travels and have healthy happy holidays!!

Please feel free to give me a call at 252-1787 or drop me an email at Cheryl@tasty-treats.com if there is anything you need.
