Principal Update
Hello Conway Families,
We had such a blast at our EPIC Run on Wednesday! And at our Crew Celebration our teachers ate baby food, and we silly-stringed Mrs. Petrucelli, Mrs. Yabut, and Mrs. Tran for having 100% attendance at SLCs!
I am blown away at the generosity of our Conway community in helping us reach our goals and cheer on our runners! Our fundraiser goes through Sunday and we are still hoping to meet our goal of $12,500 and dye Mr. Blanchard’s hair! We will also pie staff in the face at our Crew Celebration on October 22nd. Check out our 99Pledges fundraiser page for all the details and to make a donation!
Huge thanks to our PTA for all of their leadership and volunteer hours. This is PTA’s biggest fundraiser of the year and funds fieldwork, Cougar store incentives, our Fall Festival, and so much more! We are so grateful to our PTA for all they support on campus!
We are also grateful to be a Community School, where we build meaningful partnerships to support our students, staff, and families. One of our biggest community celebrations each year is our EPIC Fall Festival on Friday Oct 23rd from 4:30-7pm— a night of free family fun for everyone! This event is made possible through collaboration with our PTA, staff, and local vendors. Join us for games, trunk-or-treat, dance performances, food trucks and much more! Students are welcome to come in costume if they would like.
In Crew Always,
Krystle Miller,
Principal
