Tomorrow, Friday is the last day for fun run donations for students to
be eligible for a prize. Families can contribute online or send money
into office tomorrow labeled with student name & “PTA fun run” to get
credit.
Prizes will be distributed to students next week. We will also be
announcing the highest contributing classroom winner & plans are
underway for the limo lunch for our top earning students!
Thank-you for the generosity to those who have participated so far!
We’d also like to give a huge shout out to all the teacher’s,
student’s and parent volunteers for making this years event
outstanding! Way to go Cougar community!
Much love,
Your PTA executive board

Happy Smelling!
Walk to School Day
This past Wednesday was Walk to School day to encourage physical activity and the healthy benefits
Halloween Parade
Time to get those costumes on the kids and come on down to Arno on Oct. 31 at 10:00 for our annual Halloween Parade. Our route will take us out of the 4th grade doors that morning, making a loop on the inside perimeter of the playground. Please join us around the outside perimeter of the playground for the best seats. It is a district PD day with an 11:40 dismissal that morning.
September Super Cougars
Each month for our PBIS program we pick 1 Super cougar from each classroom- someone who has demonstrated they are being the very best and following Arno’s PBIS expectations of being Respectful, Safe, and Responsible. This month’s Cougars received a pizza lunch with the principal. Way to go Cougars!!
