Quantum Academy Parent Bulletin #14

House Carnival Was A Huge Success!

This past Friday, we held a "House Carnival" where students worked in cross-grade level teams to create mini-games for others students to enjoy. In just three days, students developed a concept and then executed their vision with outstanding results. It was an incredible experience for all involved and we encourage you to ask your child about it.

We encourage all students to bring a change of clothes, a towel, water bottle, and possibly goggles.

Please note that getting sprayed with powder will be optional for students and since that is only one aspect of the event, everyone should be able to participate.

Trunk or Treat Fun!

Wow Quantum, what a great turn out for an epic Trunk or Treat!!! A huge thank you to parents Erin Clark and Paul Canaan along with our YMCA leaders Teresa and Karina, and our PTA President, Genia Basile, for organizing the trunk or treat event this past Friday.

And a BIG thank you to all of the volunteers who helped set up, hosted a trunk, and cleaned up afterwards. The event was a huge success thanks to everyone who helped!

With Veterans Day approaching, we are excited to honor our Veterans and Active-Duty family and friends with a variety of activities.

Our 7th grade students will be creating up a special wall of honor in our Great Hall where we will post photos as well as inspirational stories and historical facts.

We are also creating a slideshow with photos of Veterans and Active Duty personnel connected to our Quantum students. We would love to include any photos you would be willing to share! Please click the button below to submit photos. If you submitted photos last year, we will use those once again unless you prefer that we do not.

Throughout the month of November, our students will also be putting together care packages with personal notes and goodies to send to those currently serving to encourage and thank them for their sacrifice.

Please email Mrs. Murphy at [email protected] with any questions.
